The present research aimed to evaluate three bulk-fill composites' clinical efficiency with that of a conventional micro-hybrid composite utilizing two different clinical assessment criteria. A total of 120 restorations were finished. The thirty randomly selected teeth were restored by a dentist using the four materials (GC Posterior-Group 1, Tetric Evo Ceram Bulk Fill-Group 2, Sonic Fill System-Group 3, and Filtek Bulk Fill-Group 4). For three, six, nine, and twelve months, patients were re

Food impaction is one of the most common concerns regarding FPD (fixed partial denture) prostheses. However, the dentist often ignores these symptoms, which causes the patient to experience pain over time. The present study aimed to investigate the knowledge of dental professionals regarding the management of food impaction associated with fixed partial denture prostheses in Riyadh. An online survey was used to conduct this cross-sectional investigation among Riyadh's dentistry practitioners

Currently, broken dentures composed of high-impact acrylic polymers are difficult to treat. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture force, toughness, and deflection of three different types of thermoplastic denture base resins made of repaired injection-molded polymethyl methacrylate. The sample size for this in-vitro study was calculated using the G*power 3.0.10 program with an alpha error of 5% and a power of 80% in each group (groups A, B, and C) of 20 samples. There

Surface modification of titanium implants using argon plasma has been shown to enhance their hydrophilicity and cellular adhesion, promoting increased bone deposition on both implant and graft surfaces. Experimental models have demonstrated that, following sinus augmentation, spontaneous sinus mucosa perforations may occur over time near implants and graft particles. The purpose of this study was to assess whether argon plasma treatment of implant surfaces influences bone apposition and the inci

Dental trauma represents one of the most prevalent oral health challenges among children and adolescents. The objective of this research was to assess the knowledge and clinical practices of Croatian pediatricians regarding the management of dental injuries and their awareness of mouthguards as protective devices against such trauma. A cross-sectional survey using a structured questionnaire was conducted among 186 pediatricians, gathering data on demographics, professional experience, and famili

The rise in the number of dental implants has resulted in a proportional increase in reported complications. These may range from restorative issues caused by inaccurate placement to injury of nearby anatomical structures such as nerves or adjacent teeth. Most of these complications can be prevented by placing implants in an optimal position with precision. Hence, this in vitro pilot study aimed to assess the influence of freehand (FH) and fully guided (FG) surgical techniques on the precision o

Dental caries remains the most prevalent chronic infectious disease of childhood and a major public health concern in both low- and high-income nations, even though it is largely preventable. The present study assessed the feasibility of identifying dental caries in children through a machine learning model based on parental perceptions of their child’s oral health collected via questionnaire. Data were gathered from 182 parents or caregivers and their children aged 2–7 years residing in Los Ang

Over the past several years, a deeper insight into caries pathology alongside innovations in dental biomaterials has sparked growing interest in conservative, non-invasive and minimally invasive alternatives that postpone or eliminate the necessity of conventional restorations. This review evaluates a selection of these modern interventions—such as fluoride varnish, silver diamine fluoride, resin sealants, resin infiltration, chemomechanical removal of decay, and atraumatic restorative treatment

The performance of implant-supported restorations is strongly influenced by both the implant diameter and the surrounding bone density. This research aimed to examine how these two parameters affect stress distribution when subjected to vertical and 30° oblique loading. A finite element analysis was performed using dental implants of a constant length of 6.5 mm, but with different diameters (Ø3.3, Ø3.5, Ø3.75, Ø4.0, Ø4.25, and Ø4.75 mm). Each implant was positioned axially and restored using a 2

Australian universities have implemented rural outplacement programs to motivate dental students to pursue rural careers. Dental curricula should equip graduates with comprehensive insight into the challenges faced by rural oral health practitioners. Understanding students’ pre-outplacement attitudes toward rural practice is essential for refining these programs, yet this topic has received limited attention. This study conducted an anonymous, voluntary, online survey among first-year dental stu
