Plaque biofilms are implicated in a variety of oral health problems, including these common conditions. To preserve oral health, various mechanical plaque control methods are used to minimize plaque buildup. This study investigated the effect of water flossing on marginal microleakage in RMGI. The research follows four key stages: sam

Dental implants are predominantly made from commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) and Ti-6Al-4V alloys, both of which demonstrate impressive clinical success rates, reaching up to 99% over 10 years. However, the surfaces of these implants can degrade over time, potentially leading to the development of mucositis and peri-implantitis. This systematic review examines the effects of fluoride exposure and pH changes on titanium corrosion. Following the PRISMA guidelines, the review incorporated in vitr
