Clinicians specializing in esthetic dentistry play an important role in enhancing both oral health and the appearance of patients’ smiles, offering significant clinical benefits such as sterile treatment conditions and improved patient comfort. Among the various techniques, laser ablation stands out as a highly effective, minimally invasive, and well-tolerated method for gingival depigmentation. Research suggests that laser photon energy is absorbed by specific chromophore components within oral

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a complex, collagen-related metabolic disorder that is mainly caused by chronic areca nut consumption. This lesion is classified as a ‘potentially premalignant oral epithelial lesion (PPOEL)’, which has the potential to regress if detected in its early stages. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of clinical symptoms among OSMF patients visiting a dental institution and to explore the relationship between specific symptoms and the severity of disease progr

The antibacterial properties of restorative materials play an important role in minimizing the occurrence of recurrent caries. This study focuses on evaluating and comparing the antimicrobial effect and compressive strength of thyme-modified glass ionomer cement with conventional glass ionomer cement. Thyme extract was derived from dried thyme leaves and incorporated into the traditional GIC formulation. The modified GIC was prepared by blending the extract with the powder and liquid components

This study aimed to refine the method for spatial digital analysis of bone density. The experiment included spiral computed tomography (CT) scans of the facial skeleton of 20 patients aged 10 to 22 years with maxillofacial pathologies. The CT imaging was performed with slices aligned parallel to either the Frankfurt horizontal plane or the occlusal plane. The proposed method enables visualization and segmentation of bone tissue based on density levels within each scan, allowing for the precise i

This research investigates how the use of an etching gel containing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) affects the structural integrity and bonding strength at the “dentin-filling” and “enamel-filling” interfaces in permanent teeth with poor caries resistance in hard tissues. Teeth samples were taken from individuals aged 18 to 60 years, who underwent extractions for medical purposes. Adhesive systems from the IV and V generations were used for sealing, and both fluid and packable composites were sel
