Background/Objectives: Tooth extraction is known to cause both bone loss and soft tissue collapse, changes that can complicate implant placement. While alveolar ridge preservation techniques have been proposed to limit these alterations, they often f...

Background/Objectives: Differentiating initial from moderate non-cavitated occlusal caries using intraoral radiography is challenging. This in vitro study aimed to verify the ability of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to discern the extent of demi...

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between skeletal class and morphological patterns of the mandibular symphysis. Methods: The sample consisted of 90 patients with an average age of 18 years (44 > x > 12). In orde...

Background/Objectives: Population-specific data on permanent-tooth eruption are essential for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and public health strategies. In Hungary, current clinical practice relies on outdated international eruption standa...

Desquamative gingivitis (DG) is a clinical presentation characterized by erythema, epithelial desquamation, and mucosal fragility, commonly associated with immune-mediated diseases such as oral lichen planus (OLP), mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP), a...

Zeolites are becoming potentially important multifunctional fillers in dentistry, providing a distinctive blend of mechanical reinforcement, remineralization, and antimicrobial properties. Their crystalline aluminosilicate frameworks offer ion-exchan...

Background/Objectives: Primary implant stability depends on cortical bone thickness. While alveolar cortices are well studied, little is known about the nasal floor and lateral wall, which may provide alternative anchorage in atrophic maxillae. Metho...

Background: Computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) aims to improve placement accuracy versus freehand drilling. We compared the three-dimensional accuracy of robot-guided CAIS (r-CAIS), dynamic navigation (d-CAIS), static-template guidance (s-CAIS)...

Background: RT-qPCR is the gold standard for quantitative gene expression analysis, but it requires homogenized tissue and thus loses spatial information. RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) preserves tissue localization but is technically challenging, e...

Background/Objectives: Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a benign yet locally aggressive intraosseous lesion with a high recurrence rate, posing significant challenges for clinical management. This present case report describes a combined surgical mana...
