Introduction For patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CUCLP), secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) can be performed before or after the emergence of the cleft side permanent canine (pre-CE…
Introduction The purpose of this research was to prospectively determine the ratio of 2 soft-tissue landmarks, pogonion (sPg) and menton (sMe), to their hard-tissue counterparts (Pg and Me) in the…
The plaintiff sought treatment for a kidney stone that was lodged in his left ureter. The defendant attempted removal using a ureteroscope. During the surgery, the ureter was damaged beyond…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to compare treatment outcomes for anterior occlusion and vertical skeletal stability after maxillary or mandibular surgery for correction of Class II malocclusion with…
Introduction The aim of this study was to verify less resorption of incompletely developed roots compared with those that were fully developed during the same orthodontic treatment and to test…
Introduction The objective of this prospective randomized clinical trial was to investigate the relationship between clear aligner (CA) therapy and the development of white spot lesions and compare it with…
It has been a stressful afternoon at your office, and you are 20 minutes behind schedule. The palatal expander for sensitive little Elizabeth will not seat fully, and she loudly whines…
The world is changing! Despite our specialty’s genuine concerns, commercial teledentistry is gaining acceptance at an amazing rate. Teledentistry refers to a dental service that combines telecommunications with dentistry to…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Zirconia dental pieces were produced by robocasting (AM) and subtractive manufacturing (SM). • AM samples revealed to be biologically safe and present adequate properties. • AM…
Abstract Objectives To test and compare five pressable lithium-X-silicate-ceramics on their mechanical and wear properties. Methods Specimens were pressed and prepared from: i. Amber Press (AP), ii. Celtra Press (CP),…

Graphical abstract Abstract Objective The aim is to investigate the potential significance of combining minimally invasive high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) with hydroxyapatite (HA) nanorods treatment for the remineralization of demineralized…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the photoinitiator system on the polymerization kinetics of methacrylamide-based monomers as alternatives to methacrylates in adhesives dental-based…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective The Ti-6Al-4V ( TAV ) alloy is commercially used as a dental implant material. This work seeks to elucidates the origins of degradation of Ti-6Al-4V (TAV)…
Abstract Objective Titanium (Ti)- and Zirconia (ZrO 2 )-implants in mini pig maxillae were compared with respect to Ti/zirconium (Zr) release into the surrounding bone tissues, the resulting short term…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective Literature on edge chipping test applied to dental materials and structures has been systematically reviewed with regard to the evaluation methods and parameters used. Data A…
Abstract Objective A method proposed for determining the fracture toughness (FT) of dental materials involves a ‘roller’ wedging open a V-notch in a cylindrical specimen. There are a number of…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the physico-mechanical properties of a high viscosity glass ionomer cement (GIC) reinforced with TiO 2 nanotubes (TiO 2 -nt). Methods…
Abstract Objective Dental device is a very broad term that can be used to include any foreign material or product that is introduced in the host oral cavity to replace…
Highlights • Against a hard antagonist, glass-ceramics exhibit moderate wear but extensive subsurface fracture. • Resin composites show large wear craters with the absence of subsurface damage. • The polymer-infiltrated…
