This systematic review aimed to determine the effectiveness and success rates associated with the use of orthodontic closure and dental implants to replace missing first molars. The results of the research taken into consideration in this paper were presented using the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. 8 of the remaining papers were selected because they met the inclusion criteria after 32 articles were excluded due to duplication. The remainin

The last few decades have witnessed an evolution in orthodontics and bone remodeling to meet contemporary aesthetic and therapeutic needs. Over the past century, various methods have been used and investigated, including invasive surgical and non-surgical methods. However, in certain circumstances, significant challenges may arise that can lead to adverse postherpetic outcomes. To minimize patient injury and destruction, a variety of surgical instruments and handpieces are used during corticotom

This study aimed to investigate the effects of different fiber implantation techniques on the microleakage of MOD cavities and fracture resistance in molar teeth. The study was conducted in two phases: the microleakage test group (T2) and the fracture resistance test group (T1). There was a randomization of 110 third molars (T1:n1/4 = 80, T2:n1/3 = 30). Group K was the composite restoration (Gaenial Posterior, GC); group KFT was the cavity lined with polyethylene fiber (Ribbond, Ribbond Inc., Se

This study aimed to investigate the awareness of dental practitioners about the association between periodontitis and systemic disorders in private dental hospitals in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, Pakistan. This will help in determining the gaps in knowledge and adjusting the periodontology department's house officers' training accordingly, improving their future patient care. With the approval of each of the six dental facilities in the twin cities of Pakistan, a cross-sectional survey of

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the current relationship between condylar guidance and cuspal angulation in natural dentition. This study included 56 pretreatment samples of subjects (lateral cephalograms and study models). Using 3D technology, the study model was scanned to determine the cuspal angulation. The inclination of a tooth's cuspal slope and the line that passes across its cusp fossa combine to generate the cuspal angulation. An extra-oral scanner (shining 3D auto scanner

A new epoxy-based resin, Filtek Silorane, has recently been introduced for restorative dental fillings. This study aimed to assess its effectiveness for orthodontic bracket bonding on unground enamel. Shear bond strength was tested using two adhesives—Filtek Silorane and Transbond XT—paired with steel, ceramic, and polymer brackets. Filtek Silorane was applied following either its self-etching primer protocol or conventional phosphoric acid etching, while Transbond XT, etched only with phosphori

This study aimed to evaluate the perceptions of dentists and patients regarding Dental Monitoring™ (DM), a telemonitoring software for orthodontic care. To achieve this, two specifically designed questionnaires were administered to 80 dentists (40 general practitioners and 40 orthodontists) and 80 orthodontic patients. All participating dentists viewed telemonitoring positively, with 96.25% associating it with advanced technology and high-quality care, and 100% acknowledging its potential to red

The study aimed to compare the antimicrobial performance of 10% doxycycline gel and 1 percent chlorhexidine (CHX) gel in decontaminating sandblasted acid-etched titanium implant surfaces inoculated with Porphyromonas gingivalis. Titanium implants were assigned to two groups (A and B), each subdivided into 3 subgroups (A1–A3, B1–B3), and deliberately contaminated with P. gingivalis. Group A implants received 10% doxycycline gel, whereas Group B implants were treated with 1 percent CHX gel. The re

The widespread adoption of clear aligners in orthodontic practice has driven the development of biomechanical devices to improve treatment efficiency. The mechanical properties of these materials play a critical role in determining their clinical performance and efficacy. This study investigates the Young’s modulus of Clear-Blokker® (Scheu Dental), a photopolymerisable resin used for the attachment of clear aligner, and evaluates its mechanical behaviour under different curing times (5 s and 10
