Does residual cement around implant-supported restorations cause peri-implant disease? A retrospective case analysis
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between patients with a history of periodontitis and development of cement-related peri-implant disease.
Water fluoridation, dentition status and bone health of older people in Ireland
This study used The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing to access a nationally representative sample of 4,977 people aged 50 and older.
Localised aggressive periodontitis treatment response in primary and permanent dentition
A cohort of 97 African-American participants between the ages of 5 and 21 (30M; 66F; 22 primary and 75 permanent dentition affected), diagnosed with LAP, were included.
Analysis of pulp prognosis in 603 permanent teeth with uncomplicated crown fracture with or without luxation
Complete dental records of traumatised permanent teeth were obtained, including the patient’s name, gender and age, position of the traumatised tooth, its stage of root development, time elapsed between dental injury and treatment, diagnosis, clinical procedures, and follow-up period.
Efficacy of reciprocating and rotary NiTi instruments for retreatment of curved root canals assessed by micro-CT
Rödig, T., Reicherts, P., Konietschke, F., Dullin, C., Hahn, W., Hülsmann, M. Aim: To compare the efficacy of reciprocating and rotary NiTi instruments in removing filling material from curved root canals using micro-computed tomography. Methodology: A total of 60 curved root canals were prepared and filled with
Coronally advanced flap + connective tissue graft techniques for the treatment of deep gingival recession in the lower incisors. A controlled randomised clinical trial
Zucchelli, G., Marzadori, M., Mounssif, I., Mazzotti, C., Stefanini, M. Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and aesthetic outcomes of two different surgical approaches for the treatment of deep gingival recession affecting the mandibular incisors. Methods: A total of 50 patients with
A comparison of cone beam computed tomography and periapical radiography for the detection of vertical root fractures in nonendodontically treated teeth
Brady, E., Mannocci, F., Brown, J., Wilson, R., Patel, S. Aims: To compare in an ex vivo model, the diagnostic accuracy of periapical radiography and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for the detection of artificially induced incomplete and complete vertical root fractures (VRFs), and to determine whether
Pulpal response to sensibility tests after traumatic dental injuries in permanent teeth
Bastos, J.V., Goulart, E.M., de Souza Côrtes, M.I. Background/aim: The assessment of pulp vitality is one of the major challenges in dental traumatology due to the temporary loss of sensibility after trauma and because of the limitations of conventional pulp tests. The aim of this study was
Complication and failure rates with implant-supported fixed dental prostheses and single crowns: a 10-year, retrospective study
Wittneben, J.G., Buser, D., Salvi, G.E., Bürgin, W., Hicklin, S., Brägger, U. Purpose: Clinical studies related to the long-term outcomes with implant-supported reconstructions are still sparse. The aim of this 10- year retrospective study was to assess the rate of mechanical/technical complications and failures with implant supported
Periodontal pathogens and associated factors in aggressive periodontitis: results 5 to 17 years after active periodontal therapy
Meyer-Bäumer, A., Eick, S., Mertens, C., Uhlmann, L., Hagenfeld, D., Eickholz, P., Kim, T.S., Cosgarea, R. Abstract: To assess the association between presence of periodontal pathogens and recurrence of disease in patients with aggressive periodontitis (AgP) after active periodontal therapy (APT) and further influencing factors.
