Purpose goal of present randomized clinical trial was to evaluate and compare outcome placed with high (between 50 Ncm 100 Ncm) regular (within in healed ridges. Materials Methods Partially edentulous patients, missing one or more mandibular maxillary teeth, having adequate amount bone, requiring placement,...

The present double-blind randomized clinical trial aimed to compare the efficacy in reducing dentin hypersensitivity of a dentifrice formulation containing nano-hydroxyapatite with fluoride and placebo.105 subjects were recruited participate study. A computer-generated random table blocking one three study treatments was used order have 35 per group: 1) 15% toothpaste, fluoride-free; 2) toothpaste; 3) placebo. Groups 1, 2, 3 instructed brush their teeth for 2 minutes twice day provided...

Surface roughness is the main factor determining bacterial adhesion, biofilm growth and plaque formation on dental surfaces in vivo. Air-polishing of removes but can also damage surface by increasing its roughness. The purpose this study was to investigate different conditions air-polishing performed vitro a recently introduced restorative composite. Abrasive powders sodium bicarbonate glycine, combined at treatment times (5, 10 30 s) distances (2 7 mm), have been tested. resulting root mean...

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the amount tooth colour change, rebound rate and sensitivity in patients submitted a bleaching technique with 6% hydrogen peroxide ( HP ) or without 2% nano‐hydroxyapatite (n‐ HA ). Methods Sixty subjects were included examiner‐blinded, randomized clinical trial using gel n‐ . Tooth analysed before after treatment. All data statistically. Results After bleaching, both treatments demonstrated significant improvements shade P < 0.05...

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as additive printing, is increasing its importance in every field of dentistry. There are different methods AM, one these being digital light processing (DLP). Several factors can influence the accuracy printed crowns, and them building or printing orientation. Therefore, aim this study to evaluate trueness precision temporary crowns produced via DLP with angles. An artificial molar prepared receive a full crown was scanned. A total 15 resin were...

Polishing may increase the surface roughness of composites, with a possible effect on bacterial growth and material properties. This preliminary in vitro study evaluates three different polishing systems (PoGo polishers, Enhance, Venus Supra) six direct resin composites (Gradia Direct, Venus, Diamond, Enamel Plus HFO, Tetric Evoceram, Filtek Supreme XT).For each composite, 12 square specimens were prepared: 9 polished, for method, while used as controls. Surface was determined AFM by...

The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the influence antibiotics on development alveolitis after tooth extractions.The population consisted patients who had erupted extractions in 3 centers. patients' medical records were collected for several parameters. Moreover, use evaluated. primary outcome during postoperative period. secondary measure possible associations between and other characteristics.A total 1579 patient charts screened. enrolled 418 (159 males 259 females)....

This study discussed a 3-year retrospective survey of clinical and esthetic outcomes immediate implants placed by experienced senior surgeons residents in implant dentistry.The chart review included patients who received single-tooth extraction placement at the Tuscan Stomatology Institute between 2009 2011. Treated independent postextraction areas were divided into two groups according to operator's experience: expert versus nonexpert group. Patient satisfaction with aspect, chewing,...

Abstract Background Consistent bone changes occur after tooth removal, often compromising the success of implants placed within socket left to natural healing The long‐term effect ridge preservation on implant outcomes is still unclear. Purpose aim study was assess and survival rates in extraction sockets, with spontaneous healing, or grafted cortical porcine bone, collagenated corticocancellous bone. Materials methods Ninety patients need for a single premolar/molar an treatment were...

Abstract Background Lateral maxillary sinus augmentation (MSA) is a predictable bone regeneration technique in case of atrophy the posterior‐upper maxilla. Aimed at obtaining quantity and quality suitable for receiving osseointegrated implants, its success largely due to skill surgeon, but also characteristics biomaterial used. Methods Twenty‐four patients needing MSA were included study. The randomly allocated three different groups: anorganic bovine mineral as control, tricalcium phosphate...

Abstract Background Immediate implant placement into fresh extraction sockets is generally considered a reliable procedure that offers several clinical advantages. Purpose The primary aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the overall outcomes immediate delayed restoration procedures for implants placed in by means flapless technique resorbable membrane stabilizing xenograft. Total costs operating times were also compared. Materials Methods In prospective cohort study, changes...

Objectives: The aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate posterior indirect composite resin restoration ten years after placement luted with two different procedures.Study Design: In 23 patients 22 inlays/onlays (Group A) were using a dual-cured cement and 26 B) light cured for total 48 Class I II inlays onlays.The restorations evaluated at 2 time points: 1) one week (baseline evaluation) 2) the modified USPHS criteria.The Mann-Whitney Wilcoxon tests used examine difference between results...

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are disabling conditions with a negative impact on the quality of life. Their diagnosis is complex and multi-factorial process that should be conducted by experienced professionals, most TMDs remain often undetected. Increasing awareness un-experienced dentists supporting early TMD recognition may help reduce this gap. Artificial intelligence (AI) allowing both to natural language manage large knowledge bases could support diagnostic process.In work, we...
