Background: Orthodontics and orthognathic surgery present challenges such as extended treatment durations, patient discomfort, and complications like root resorption. Recent advancements in tissue engineering and nanotechnology offer promising soluti...

Background/Objectives: Surgical guides have been used in a variety of dental procedures, such as implant placement to improve clinical accuracy and reduce post-operative complications. This report presents a novel and versatile workflow for the desig...

Background/Objectives: Bioactive materials are gaining increased popularity as materials of choice for pulpal regeneration. A similar trend is emerging with root repair materials; however, there is a significant gap in the literature about cementogen...

Objective: This study aims to discover the most current trends, impacts, and challenges of using IoT devices and smart technologies in oral health. Method: A modified systematic mapping method was used to generate and answer five research questions....

Background/Objectives: Treating odontogenic infections of the head, neck, and oral cavity requires surgical and pharmacotherapeutic interventions of single and multi-space infections. Prevotella species can become virulent during post-extraction woun...

Background/Objectives: Port-wine stains (PWSs), also known as naevus flammeus or capillary malformations, are congenital cutaneous lesions, typically located in the head/neck area. The manifestations of PWSs include aesthetic and functional impairmen...

Background/Objectives: High-translucency zirconia is a dental ceramic offering excellent aesthetic results but with mechanical limitations restricting its applications. This study aimed to simulate the mechanical behavior of anatomical dental prosthe...

Background/Objectives: Delayed tooth eruption (DTE) is a very challenging clinical situation, and the pathogenesis has been associated with local, systemic, and genetic factors. The aim of this presentation is to describe the management of such a cas...

The surgical procedures in the treatment of periodontitis generally aim to reduce pocket depth, improve teeth maintenance, and enhance long-term stability. Several approaches have been proposed over the years including different techniques, drugs, an...

Dental caries is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions among children globally. Salivary pH monitoring, an essential diagnostic parameter, plays a critical role in understanding caries risk and oral health. This scoping review aims to evaluate...

Objectives: The aim of this article is to examine the effectiveness and capabilities of laser use in periodontal surgical therapy by analyzing the existing literature that focuses on laser use alone or as a supplement to the already existing periodon...

Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among patients with fixed, removable, and combined dental prosthetic restorations in Osijek, Croatia, focusing on potential variations by gender...

Background: Orthodontic appliances increase biofilm accumulation by expanding plaque retention sites. Enamel demineralization and periodontal inflammation are considered to be the most prevalent consequences of biofilm formation in orthodontic patien...

Background: There are multiple challenges associated with the provision of quality oral hygiene care by nurses. This study aimed to identify the challenges experienced by nurses in the provision of oral hygiene care at the National Hospital, Kandy, S...

Restoring endodontically treated teeth has always been a challenge in dentistry. Dental posts are used when further retention is required for the final restoration, indicating that the tooth is already structurally compromised. Varying survival rates...

Background/Objectives: Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma is a rare malignant myofibroblastic tumor, first described by Gabbiani et al. in 1971. It predominantly affects adult males and is uncommon in children. The tumor can occur anywhere in the body...

Objective: This mixed methods study explores gender differences in, and reasons for, toothbrushing and flossing among Mexican-origin adults. Methods: Interviews and surveys about oral hygiene behaviors were collected from 72 adults (ages 21–40)...

Background/Objectives: Graphene and its derivatives have garnered attention for their unique properties that could enhance dental biomaterials. Understanding their interactions with biological systems is crucial for optimizing their application in de...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare multiple deep learning models for estimating age and sex using dental panoramic radiographs and identify the most successful deep learning models for the specified tasks. Methods: The dataset of 437 p...

Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly through machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and natural language processing (NLP), has shown remarkable promise in image analysis and clinical...

Objective: Malocclusion affects oral health and quality of life, emphasizing the critical need to assess the knowledge and practices of healthcare providers in the prevention and treatment of malocclusion. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to...
