Introduction and Aims: Mandibular movement is a complex physiological process essential for orofacial function. Patients with disc displacement without reduction (DDWoR) exhibit significant kinematic impairments, which a...

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The links between oral health and female ageing are poorly understood, but many changes occur in the oral cavity of menopausal women that affect quality of life, and few current oral health inter...

Background: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of combined multiple-case teaching (MCT) and narrative medicine teaching (NMT) method compared with lecture-based learning (LBL) in the clinical pr...

Introduction and aims: Oral lichen planus (OLP), a chronic inflammatory oral mucosal disorder with malignant potential, has been associated with oral microbial dysbiosis. While bacterial community alterations in OLP are ...

Introduction and Aims: This study evaluated the effect of implant angulation on the accuracy of digital impressions for 3-unit implant-supported fixed partial dentures obtained with 2 intraoral scanners. Methods: Three p...

Objective: To test whether an AI-assisted, dual-template workflow improves plan–delivery accuracy in tooth autotransplantation versus a replica-only freehand approach. Methods: Twenty-four consecutive cases were assign...

Research on lactobacilli from traditional food niches have received increasing attention for theirbeneficial properties. In this study, selected bacteriocin-producing lactobacilli strains previouslyisolated and character...

A facile method for the preparation of cobalt ferrite nanotubes by use of bacterial cellulose nanoribbons as a template is described. The proposed method relays on a simple coprecipitation operation, which is a technique...

Introduction and aims: Healing abutment dislodgement is a common clinical complication in dental implantology, yet its impact on peri-implant soft tissue immunity remains unclear. This exploratory pilot study aimed to in...

ABSTRACT: Introduction and aim: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the long-term stability of patient-specific implants (PSIs) in orthognathic surgery. Methods: The review was conducted based on the Preferred Repo...

Purpose: To assess the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) on the oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response of leukocytes, and to examine whether obesity modulates the biological response t...

Introduction and aims: Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) play pivotal roles in the regeneration of pulp-dentin complex, yet their odontogenic differentiation is critically modulated by the inflammatory microenvironme...

Background: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are a major cause of chronic orofacial pain, with myalgia of the masticatory muscles being central to symptom burden. Electrolyte modulation, particularly magnesium, may inf...

Objective: To explore and compare the extent of maximal gingival display among four different facial expressions, including the requested smile, Duchenne smile, grimace of disgust, and funnel-shaped expression, using Aut...

This work presents, for the frst time, the development of magnetic composites using activated biochar (BC-Act) derived from yerba mate waste. It includes an analysis of the effect of the activation process on the formati...

Objectives: The minimum intervention oral health care (MIOC) delivery framework shifts restorative dentistry from a predominantly operative, procedure-centred model towards a person-focused, prevention-oriented and tooth...

Introduction and aims: For decades, orthodontic diagnosis and treatment have primarily depended on physical models, imaging techniques, and three-dimensional (3D) imaging technologies. Nevertheless, single-modal data exh...

Background: Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from Gram-negative bacteria are spherical lipid bilayer nanostructures with diameters of 20 to 250 nm. Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), a keystone periodontal pathogen,...

Introduction and aims: The clinical efficacy of alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) is well-documented in the literature. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding ARP in the posterior area and in periodontally compro...
