To evaluate the relationship of different levels of social capital with oral health-related adolescents' quality of life (OHRQoL).

This study aims to characterize the bacterial co-occurrence features and potential interactions associated with the presence of sinus tracts in apical periodontitis in a Chinese population by using 16S rRNA next-generation sequencing (NGS).

Evaluating the effect of shape and size of implant scan body on the accuracy of optical 3D scanning.

Tooth wear is the loss of dental hard tissue due to chemical and mechanical processes, and its prevalence ranges from 13 to 80% in the general population. Management depends on understanding potential risk factors; however, the role of saliva as one of them is not completely understood. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between salivary pH and flow, and tooth wear in patients referred to a specialized dental clinic for tooth wear management.

The aim of the study was to examine the potential of arginine (Arg)-enriched fancy waters in preventing erosive tooth wear.

To evaluate the efficacy of the True Definition®intraoral scanner in quantifying the wear of the glass ionomer restorative material (Ketac Universal and Ketac Molar) over 1 year. We also studied the correlation between visual and digital assessments of restoration wear.

This study investigated the oral microbiota in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to determine possible alterations in microbial composition and identify potential biomarkers for early detection.

To evaluate the accuracy of immediate implant placement in fresh extraction sockets in the maxillary aesthetic zone using a dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery system (dCAIS), with the evaluation of possible deviations versus freehand placement.

To compare in vitro the magnitude of deviations, task-focused performance, and perspective on instrumentation of two operators with different levels of experience using computer-assisted dynamic navigation (C-ADN) systems during osteotomy/root-end resection (RER) in models mimicking thick bone layers overlying the apices.

This study aimed to develop a model to predict the autonomy preference (AP) and satisfaction after tooth extraction (STE) in patients with periodontal disease. Understanding of individual AP and STE is essential for improving patient satisfaction and promoting informed decision-making in periodontics.

This study aimed to develop a machine-learning model to predict the risk for Periodontal Disease (PD) based on nonimage electronic dental records (EDRs).

This study evaluated the accuracy of the Medit i700 intraoral scanner (IOS) in capturing horizontal tooth preparations at different depths below the gingival margin and assessed its ability to detect surfaces beyond the finish line.

To evaluate the impact of extending the anchorage surface of mandibular overdentures on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and degree of satisfaction (SD) of edentulous patients.

The purpose of this study was to systematically compare and assess the effect of various wound closure interventions on the clinical outcomes following immediate implant placement (IIP) in the esthetic zone.

There are no in vivo studies comparing multiple intraoral scanners for the completely edentulous maxilla to PVS impressions. Investigations comparing intraoral scanners to polyvinyl siloxane impressions focus on comparing the overall scan and not individual anatomical regions. This study aims to evaluate two intraoral scanners and compare the results for different anatomical regions on the completely edentulous maxillary arch.

This study aimed to develop dual-functional CMC-LYZ-ACP nanogels. Three different antibacterial substances, tea polyphenols (TPs), silver nitrate (AgNO), and chlorhexidine (CHX) are then combined to form three dual-functional CMC-LYZ-ACP nanogels for remineralization and antibacterial purposes.

To evaluate the effect of build orientation on the fabrication trueness and fit of additively manufactured 2-piece zirconia abutments when compared with those manufactured subtractively in 3 mol% and 4 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (3Y-TZP and 4Y-TZP).

The wet-bonding protocol has been used in the etch-and-rinse (ER) mode to maintain adhesive infiltration in demineralized dentin. This study answered the research question: "Do the retention rates and postoperative sensitivity of composite restorations in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) differ between dry- and wet-bonding techniques?"

This study aimed to conduct a systematic review with network meta-analysis (NMA) to answer whether the following of a white diet is necessary during dental bleaching and if there is any coloring food that would impact more significantly the bleaching efficacy.

Edentulism can be treated with conventional complete dentures or implant-assisted prostheses. While two-implant assisted overdentures are superior to conventional mandibular dentures, the effectiveness of maxillary options remains unclear. This systematic review aims to assess whether conventional or implant-assisted maxillary prostheses provide better satisfaction and quality of life for patients with edentulous maxilla.
