This study aimed to investigate the shear bond strength of PMMA teeth treated with ridge lap surfaces and high-impact injection-molded denture foundations. A black line was drawn 1 mm above the ridge lap area on 51 samples. The samples were divided into three groups: diatoric cavity ridge lap samples (group C), sandblasted ridge lap samples (group B), and the control group (group A). The samples were then placed in a 7.5 x 7.5 mm mold. The shear bond strength of the retrieved samples was evaluat

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the fastest-growing technological fields in the world. It addresses several intricate issues that currently exist and represents a breakthrough in digital science. It can be used to simplify the meta-analysis of the existing meta-knowledge clearly and concisely. Therefore, AI may play an important role in forensic dentistry (FO). In the interest of justice, FO entails the assessment, administration, presentation, and examination of dental evidence in crimin

Local anaesthesia is introduced early during the practical phase of dental education. Nevertheless, many dental students report feelings of uncertainty and anxiety before their hands-on training in this skill. This research aimed to examine whether additional educational components in the instruction of local anaesthesia influence students’ self-assurance when performing it. Participants were categorized into three groups (A, B, and C). Group A followed the same instructional format used in the

Tooth eruption represents a dynamic, multi-step biological process driven by coordinated molecular and cellular interactions that allow the tooth to migrate through surrounding tissues. As development progresses, the stratum intermedium is replaced by the papillary layer within the enamel organ. Earlier work identified intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in this papillary region, which later gives rise to ICAM-1–positive junctional epithelium. Since ICAM-1 production can be stimulated by

Previous studies have identified oral microorganisms within biopsy samples from individuals with Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD), and bone resorption in the alveolar region has been correlated with this ocular disorder. Hence, this case–control study explored the potential link between ARMD and periodontal disease by assessing both clinical and radiographic periodontal characteristics—primarily between patients and controls, and secondarily within ARMD cases according to their risk facto

This research aimed to assess the accuracy—including both trueness and precision—of nine intra-oral digital scanners and four laboratory scanners for full-arch scanning. Although earlier investigations have evaluated certain intra-oral scanners, the rapid evolution of scanning technology warrants an updated analysis to determine the performance of the latest commercially available models. In this in vitro study, nine intra-oral scanners (Omnicam 4.6; Omnicam 5.1; Primescan; CS 3600; Trios 3; Tri

In education, one of the core competencies is the capacity to locate, appraise, and integrate information—an aspect that holds particular importance in dental training. This study aimed to evaluate how dental students in Malaysia and Finland access scientific data and to compare their proficiency in information retrieval. Senior dental students (fourth and fifth years) from both Malaysia and Finland were invited to take part in the research. Data were collected through a structured, self-adminis

Dental lasers are applied in numerous periodontal treatments, encompassing both surgical procedures on soft and hard tissues and non-surgical interventions such as microbial reduction, removal of surface deposits, and photobiomodulation. The objective of this review was to analyze the existing scientific evidence to determine whether lasers provide a beneficial effect when used as an adjunct during initial non-surgical periodontal therapy. A comprehensive PubMed search was conducted focusing on

Oral verruciform xanthoma (OVX) represents a rare, nonmalignant mucosal disorder histologically distinguished by numerous lipid-laden (foamy) macrophages within the papillary layer of the lamina propria. Although the exact mechanism underlying OVX formation remains unclear, prior evidence has demonstrated that macrophage polarization—namely, M1 with antitumor functions and M2 with protumor and angiogenic activity—plays a crucial biological role. The present investigation aimed to clarify the par
