Objectives: This clinical study aimed to evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of intraoral periapical radiography (PR) cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in detecting external apical root resorption (EARR) orthodontic patients during retention phase. Methods: The research involved 41 Caucasian who had undergone comprehensive treatment, with a total 328 teeth analyzed. Kappa values for inter- intra-examiner agreement were high both PR CBCT, indicating robust level among examiners....
While clinical dentistry has seamlessly integrated the digital revolution, there is a gap in technological capabilities of forensic dentistry.The study aimed to compare superimposition accuracy two different three-dimensional record formats, namely intraoral scanner and cone beam computer tomography, context identification.The sample consisted randomly selected adults (n=10) both sexes aged between 20 50 years. Following acquisition data using Medit i700 wireless iCAT Tomograph with InVivo...
Background/Objectives: Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) patients experience a reduction in health-related quality of life and an increased intake medication. Photobiomodulation with low-level laser therapy has been demonstrated to be efficacious treatment for BMS. However, its long-term benefits remain relatively unknown. This study aimed evaluate the impact prolonged on BMS by examining efficacy outpatient protocol real-world setting. Methods: A prospective was designed address research...

The use of CBCT exam in the study IMC is not new. However, it's still known what specific aspects shows a better result than then conventional exams. aim this was to compare and conclude way opinion regarding upper canine impaction differed when observing panoramic image compared observation set reconstructions.Twenty patients (10 males 10 females) with total 28 impacted maxillary canines were identified from database Department Dentistry, Faculty Medicine, University Coimbra. For each...
E-learning is an educational method that improves knowledge innovation by sharing relevant images for advanced learning, especially in a pandemic state. Furthermore, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) gathers medical or dental diagnostic images. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of anatomy education through CBCT technology tool, teachers' and students' perspectives, adjusted according disruptions caused Covid-19 pandemic. A cohort longitudinal exploratory analysis were...
Third molar extractions present a wide spectrum of reported complications, spanning from 2.6 % to 30.9 %, making it challenging predict outcomes for individual patients.This study seeks evaluate third conducted exclusively by stomatology or maxillofacial surgery residents, examining associated complications. Its aim also extends delineating the related risks concerning epidemiological and clinical factors, juxtaposed against findings in existing literature. An observational prospective...
Three-dimensional technology using personal data records has been explored for human identification. The present study aimed to explore two methodologies, photography and orofacial scanning, assessing in forensic scenarios, highlighting their impact on A pilot quasi-experimental was performed Canon 5D-Full Frame equipment (Tokyo, Japan) an i700 scanner (Medit, Lusobionic, Portugal) (Seoul, Republic of Korea) with Medit Scan Clinics (MSC) Smile Design software (V3.3.2). sample included living...
Health professionals should work with the notion of risk involved in health care process. Dental practice is particular interest because it encompasses both aesthetic and functional components. Focusing on guidelines suggested by World Organization objectives patient safety, this study has 2 objectives: to present Portuguese medicolegal data corporal damage evaluation related iatrogenic sequelae during dental updated evidence safety.A retrospective was performed analysing from database...
Abstract In forensic scenarios, such as armed conflicts or mass disasters, the oral cavity can be a valuable source of identification information relevant to legal issues. many European Union countries, it is mandatory register dental records for purposes. A pilot and quasi-experimental study was performed. The aims analyze two methodologies, photography wireless intraoral (IO) laser scanner, in scope orofacial record pathology, highlighting their impact on human identification. IO scanner...
