Various treatment options are available for replacing missing anterior teeth, including implant-supported prostheses, fixed dental prostheses, and resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses. However, implant placement can pose challenges, particularly in edentulous sites with insufficient bone or soft tissue. In such cases, procedures such as bone augmentation and connective tissue grafting may be required. This study systematically reviews the management of anterior resin-bonded cantilever restoratio

Ceramic and metal materials are commonly used to restore tooth tissue. However, metal-free alternatives offer superior aesthetics and adaptability. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in patients’ preference for non-metallic restorations, often due to concerns about metal hypersensitivity or aesthetic preferences. This study aims to increase the effectiveness of treating patients with dental tissue defects through the use of ceramic restorations. A total of 60 patients were tr

Achieving an aesthetically pleasing outcome is crucial for patients requiring anterior tooth replacement. Dental implants are the preferred treatment in contemporary dentistry; however, ideal placement is not always possible due to bone limitations or anatomical constraints. By utilizing advanced digital design and fabrication techniques, including 3D printing with DMLS technology, prosthetic solutions for angulated implants can be achieved with superior accuracy, precision, and minimal error.

This systematic review aimed to assess the survival rate of immediate implants placed in sites with chronic periapical lesions, following different disinfection protocols. A comprehensive literature search was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. Clinical trials published in English between 2012 and 2023 were considered. Eligible studies included randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and cohort human clinical trials that evaluated the survival rate of implants in infected sockets, with a co

This study conducts a systematic review of the literature in this field, focusing on the use of antibiotics and antiseptic agents in oral health research. Specifically, it examines the effectiveness of using amoxicillin, amoxiclav, and chlorhexidine as prophylactic treatments following tooth extraction. The research began with a thorough search of relevant studies in various medical databases such as Google Scholar, Medline, PubMed, and other trusted online sources. Both the methodologies and ou

Since the introduction of dental implants by Brånemark in the 1970s, they have become a widely accepted solution for replacing missing teeth from the 1970s. However, despite their success, studies show that the failure rate of dental implants can vary from 1% to 19%. These failures are classified based on the timing of the abutment connection—early failures occur before functional loading, while late failures occur after occlusal loading or following the removal of the provisional restoration in

Intentional replantation is a procedure where a tooth is deliberately extracted and then reinserted into its original socket. It is recognized as an alternative treatment for teeth with advanced periodontal damage, especially in the anterior region. This technique is most commonly used for teeth with endodontic re-infection but good periodontal support, while it is generally not recommended for teeth with significant periodontal compromise. One of the main advantages of this procedure is that it
