Contemporary Applications and Future Perspectives of Robots in Endodontics: A Scoping Review.

Background: In the era of modern advanced endodontics, the reduction of reliance on human hands and shifting towards robotics could benefit the precision and accuracy of endodontic treatment. This scoping review aims to describe current and emerging trends in the applications of robots in endodontics and highlight their limitations and future perspectives.

Methods: This review followed the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) standards.

Multifactorial analysis of the maxillary premolar area for immediate implant placement using cone beam computed tomography: A study of 333 maxillary images.

Statement Of Problem: Immediate implant placement in the maxillary premolar area is challenged by anatomic variations imposing risks such as perforation of the buccal bone and the maxillary sinus. Previous studies have addressed the potentially relevant factors individually; a study assessing all relevant variables comprehensively and with a large sample size is lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this observational study was to analyze multiple anatomic considerations, including sagittal root position, alveolar bone concavity angle, buccal bone perforation, maxillary sinus floor root proximity, and maxillary sinus perforation in the maxillary premolar area, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to inform, perceive, and simplify the placement of immediate implants.

Assessment of the Arabic patient-centered online information about orthodontic pain: A quality and readability assessment.

Background: This study assesses the quality and readability of Arabic online information about orthodontic pain. With the increasing reliance on the internet for health information, especially among Arabic speakers, it's critical to ensure the accuracy and comprehensiveness of available content. Our methodology involved a systematic search using the Arabic term for (Orthodontic Pain) in Google, Bing, and Yahoo.

Prevalence of periodontitis in Saudi Arabia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to assess the prevalence of periodontal disease among Saudi Arabian adults based on studies conducted from 1992 to 2023.

Methods: The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO. Three databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane library) and the Saudi Dental Journal were searched for published literature up to June 2023 using prespecified search strategy.

Practical applications of robots in prosthodontics for tooth preparation and denture tooth arrangement: A scoping review.

Statement Of Problem: With the increasing interest in using robots in dentistry and the widespread dissemination of information on this topic and its applications, a comprehensive review of robot applications in prosthodontics is needed.

Purpose: The purpose of this scoping review was to assess the current status of prosthodontic robotic applications, their achievements to date, and the barriers hindering their broader adoption and further advancement.

Material And Methods: The checklist for Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) was used to conduct this review.

Comprehensive analysis of the maxillary esthetic zone for immediate implant placement using cone beam computed tomography: A study of 352 maxillary images.

Statement Of Problem: Previous studies have examined the maxillary esthetic zone for immediate implant placement, but these studies had small sample sizes and did not investigate multiple parameters.

Purpose: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to use cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate the sagittal root position (SRP), alveolar bone concavity, labial bone perforation (LBP), and tooth-ridge angle in the maxillary anterior teeth region.

Material And Methods: A total of 352 CBCT images of patients (180 men and 172 women) who visited the dental hospital between 2018 and 2023 were analyzed.

Applications of robots in implant dentistry: A scoping review.

Statement Of Problem: With the increasing interest in the applications of robots in implant dentistry and an acceleration in disseminating information about this field and its applications, a comprehensive review of robots in implant dentistry has become necessary.

Purpose: The purpose of this scoping review was to identify the present status and development of robotic applications in implant dentistry and provide insights into future implementation and advancement, limitations, and strategies for enhanced clinical adoption and technical advancement.

Material And Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist was followed.

Assessment of Arabic Web-Based Knowledge About Clear Aligners: An Infodemiologic Study.

Background: Orthodontic treatments aim to enhance dental aesthetics, functionality, and long-term oral health. Clear aligners have gained popularity as an aesthetic and convenient option for patients seeking orthodontic correction. However, the quality and readability of online Arabic patient-centered information regarding clear aligners has not been studied yet.
