Background: To investigate evidence-based medicine (EBM) use by physicians and pharmacists in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Method: A cross-sectional study using a validated questionnaire. Results: Overall, 70.
Article Synopsis
- - The NCCN Guidelines outline a comprehensive approach to diagnosing, staging, and treating ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers.
- - Recent developments in the use of PARP inhibitors, both as maintenance therapy and standalone treatments, have significantly influenced the recommendations in these guidelines.
- - These insights highlight the collaborative effort among experts to continuously update treatment protocols based on the latest research in ovarian cancer therapies.
Objectives: There is a growing evidence to suggest augmenting peri-implant keratinized mucosa in the presence of ≤ 2 mm of keratinized mucosa. However, the most appropriate surgical technique and augmentation materials have yet to be defined. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analyses was to evaluate the clinical and patient-reported outcomes of augmenting keratinized mucosa around implants using free gingival graft (FGG) versus xenogeneic collagen matrix (XCM) before commencing prosthetic implant treatment.

Methods: Electronic databases were searched to identify randomized and non-randomized studies that compared ARP to EIP. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias tool.
Backgound: The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to assess clinical and patient-reported outcomes of subgingival instrumentation (SI) with adjunctive use of erythritol airflowing (EAF) compared to SI alone in the treatment of periodontitis.
Methods: Twenty-six participants with Stage III/IV periodontitis requiring nonsurgical periodontal treatment were randomly allocated into two treatment groups: SI with EAF or SI alone. Clinical parameters of percentage of probing pocket depths (PPDs) of ≥5 mm, full mouth bleeding and plaque scores (FMBS and FMPS), and PPD values were recorded at baseline, and at 3 and 6 months posttreatment.
