The Comparison of Accuracy of Post Space Digital Impressions Made by Three Different Intraoral Scanners: An In Vitro Study.

Background And Objectives: The present study aims to assess and compare the accuracy of post-space impressions captured by three different intraoral scanners (IOS) using various canal diameters.

Methods: Three extracted natural maxillary central incisors were selected and prepared for a 1 mm wide margin and a 3 mm ferrule. All steps required for the endodontic procedure were performed, and the post space was prepared using post drills.

Nanoparticle Augmentation of Adhesive Systems: Impact on Tensile Strength in Fiberglass Post Placement within Root Dentin.

BACKGROUND Modification of the glass fiber post (GFP) with titanium dioxide or silver particles can improve the durability and reliability of dental treatments for ensuring long-term success. This research assessed the tensile bond strength (TBS) of an adhesive system used for cementing GFPs into root dentin following the incorporation of nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (NTiO2) and silver (NAg). MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty human maxillary canines were prepared to create a 10-mm intra-radicular space for post placement from the cementoenamel junction.

Nano-Hydroxyapatite (nHAp) in the Remineralization of Early Dental Caries: A Scoping Review.

(1) Background: Nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) has been reported to have a remineralizing effect on early carious lesions. The objective of this scoping review was to analyze the remineralization potential of nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp)-containing dentifrices, by mapping the existing literature. (2) Methods: This review was performed using the PRISMA-ScR Checklist, which is an extension of the PRISMA Checklist for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses.

Third molar impaction in the Jazan Region: Evaluation of the prevalence and clinical presentation.

Objective: To provide information on the prevalence and clinical features of impacted third molar teeth in the South-Western region of Saudi Arabia.

Material And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1200 panoramic radiographs (50% males and 50% females) were retrieved from the electronic clinical records of patients at the College of Dentistry, Jazan University from December 2014 to December 2016, and impacted third molars were evaluated. Data on clinical and radiographic presentation were analyzed.

The accuracy and reliability of digital measurements of gingival recession versus conventional methods.

Background: An apical shift in the position of the gingiva beyond the cemento-enamel junction leads to gingival recession. This study aimed to evaluate the reproducibility of digital measurements of gingival recession when compared to conventional measurements taken clinically using periodontal probes.

Methods: Gingival recession was measured at 97 sites in the oral cavity by four examiners using the following methods: CP, direct measurement of gingival recession using William's periodontal probe intraorally; CC, measurements on cast models using a caliper; DP, digital measurement on virtual models obtained by intraoral scanning, and DC, digital measurements on virtual models of dental casts.

Radiographic Evaluation of Post-core Restorations fabricated by Dental Students at Jazan University.

Aim: Post and core procedures are important clinical methods in routine dental practice. The present research aimed to radiographically assess the quality of post seating performed by undergraduate students at the College of Dentistry, Jazan University.

Materials And Methods: A total of 343 periapical X-rays of cemented posts (170 from males and 173 from females) were assessed.
