A Sex-Specific Evaluation of Dental Students' Ability to Perform Subgingival Debridement: Randomized Trial.

Background: A successful periodontitis treatment demands good manual skills. A correlation between biological sex and dental students' manual dexterity is currently unknown.

Objective: This study examines performance differences between male and female students within subgingival debridement.

Comparison of the Bleaching Efficacy of Different Agents Used for Internal Bleaching: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the efficacy of different bleaching agents typically used for internal bleaching of endodontically treated discolored teeth.

Methods: Electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) were searched by 2 reviewers for clinical trials in which the color of endodontically treated discolored teeth before and after internal bleaching was examined using shade guide units (ΔSGU) or a spectrophotometer/colorimeter (ΔE). The efficacies of the bleaching agents were compared using subgroup analyses.
