TL;DR: Peri-implant diseases were prevalent and prevalence of peri-IMplantitis increased over time and prevalences might not be highly associated since the prevalences were influenced by distinct variables.

TL;DR: Psychophysical studies on tooth colour and whiteness via third party assessment of images indicate that whitened teeth lead to judgements that are more positive on personality traits such as social competence and appeal, intellectual ability and relationship satisfaction.

TL;DR: The methodology can be used for assessing accuracy of IOS and IMPR in vivo in up to five units bilaterally from midline and has the potential to be a replacement for conventional impressions when restoring up to ten units without extended edentulous spans.

TL;DR: In this article, a Poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA)-TiO2 nanocomposite material with improved antibacterial characteristics was obtained for manufacturing 3D printed dental prosthesis.

TL;DR: The presence of active caries and the presence of one or more of the PUFA indicators are associated with impaired oral health related quality of life in older adults, but not indicators of periodontal status.

TL;DR: Anterior zirconia ceramic cantilever RBFDPs provided excellent clinical longevity and the reasons for missing incisors did not influence the longevity of the cantilevers.

TL;DR: The significant influence of the different RBCs tested on S. mutans biofilm formation suggests that material characteristics and composition play a greater role than SR.

TL;DR: The findings support the concept that the stable chemical bonding produced by 10-MDP to the Ca of hydroxyapatite is advantageous for durability of adhesive-dentin bonds.

TL;DR: Differences in translucency, flexural strength and grain size were found to be statistically significant and clinical indications for Zirconia Aadva NT should be limited up to three-unit span bridges.

TL;DR: Although the partial or total masking effect of enamel whitish discoloration has been shown with resin infiltration, there is no strong evidence to support this technique based on the present clinical studies.

TL;DR: Endocrowns were shown to constitute a reliable approach to restore severely damaged molars and premolars, even in the presence of extensive coronal tissue loss or Occlusal risk factors, such as bruxism or unfavorable occlusal relationships.

TL;DR: This study did not confirm this belief that in-office bleaching associated with light improves and accelerates color change, and without considering variations in the protocols, the activation of in- office bleaching gel with light does not seem to improve color change or affect tooth sensitivity, regardless of the hydrogen peroxide concentration.

TL;DR: A high prevalence for oral disease and a potential association of a systemic compromised status and smoking habits with the three chronical oral diseases are reported.

TL;DR: The present systematic review indicates that the use of mini implants for retaining overdenture prosthesis is considered an alternative treatment when standard treatment is not possible, since it presents high survival rates, acceptable marginal bone loss, and improvements in variables related to satisfaction and quality of life.

TL;DR: Over a 30-month period, annual applications of SDF solution is more effective than three weekly applications of NaF varnish or SDF solutions at baseline in arresting active cavitated dentine caries lesions in primary teeth.

TL;DR: AMZ showed the largest mean grain size, had the lowest BFS values, and was affected when mechanical cycling was involved, while PMZ showed similar behavior to the IZr and XRD analysis showed AMZ was not susceptible to monoclinic transformation in any treatment.

TL;DR: The provision of implant-supported dentures was associated with a significant increase in OHRQoL in partially dentate and in edentulous patients, with the magnitude of achieved improvement typically being greater for implant- supported dentures than with conventional ones.

TL;DR: Based on in vitro findings only, bioactive glasses may be capable of enhancing enamel remineralization in various formulations, compared with other topicalRemineralizing materials including fluoride, and CPP-ACP.

TL;DR: Significantly increased odds ratios were observed when acids were consumed between meals in this cohort of patients, and universal advice to delay brushing after meals may not be substantiated.

TL;DR: Internal connections had lower marginal bone loss when compared to external connections, however, the implant-abutment connection had no influence on the implant's survival and complication rates.

TL;DR: Silver nanoparticles one-step preparation in polyacrylate solution allowed the production of highly bioactive water-based cements within suitable parameters for clinical use and with large potential of dental and biomedical application.

TL;DR: Anterior all-ceramic cantilever RBFDPs exhibited an excellent clinical longevity and the 10-year and 15-year survival rates were both 95.4% and dropped to 81.8% after 18 years.

TL;DR: Osteoblastic cell viability, apoptosis, and regulation of bone resorbing mediators were significantly altered in the presence of metal ions, highlighting the possible role of corrosion products in the mediation of crestal bone loss around dental implants.

TL;DR: There is at present no strong evidence on the effect of tooth loss on diet and nutrition, with inconsistent results among the few studies identified.

TL;DR: Overall, the GDPs showed satisfactory rates of restoration longevity over 10 years, and repair can increase the survival of restorations although, substantial differences exist among practitioners in repair frequency and AFRs.

TL;DR: No potential prognostic factors related to the success rate of partial pulpotomy among age, sex, tooth type, root apex status, the site and type of pulp exposure, and the type of restoration were observed in log rank analysis.

TL;DR: A clear association between developmental defects of enamel and dental caries in the primary dentition is demonstrated and multivariable meta-regression analysis was performed to explore heterogeneity among studies.

TL;DR: The present 10-year results are based on comprehensive data analyses and show the high potential of lithium-disilicate as a reliable material, especially for single-unit restoration.

TL;DR: SDF treatment and incorporation of CPP-ACP into GIC restorative material can prevent secondary root caries development and provide useful information to dentists in formulating clinical management protocols and material when treatingRoot caries.

TL;DR: Shallow endocrown preparations on premolars present less surface for adhesive luting and a difference in crown material becomes apparent in terms of load-to-failure, and the use of a more flexible composite crown material appeared then a better option.
