In vitro ultrastructure and biodegradation of activated plasma albumin gel derived from human samples: A prospective observational study.

Background: In soft tissue regeneration, the clinical efficacy of fibrin membranes has been a pressing concern. The key to this efficacy lies in the stability of membrane and its controlled absorption. Human serum albumin, with its influence on the formation and stability of fibrin networks, could hold the key to developing a more stable alternative.

Desirable clinical settings in general dentistry: moving towards the improvement of the educational program.

Background: The main task of dental schools is to prepare professional dentists with a high social responsibility. This study provided some practical suggestions from experts regarding desirable clinical settings, in order to establish an infrastructure for practical studies in Endodontics, Periodontics, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Restorative Dentistry, Pediatric Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine, Prosthodontics, Oral Health, and Social Dentistry.

Methods: This research was conducted using a modified Delphi technique in two rounds.

Internal Allo-Cortical Tenting: A Modified Ridge Split Technique in Three-Dimensional Ridge Augmentation.

Three-dimensional (3D) alveolar ridge deficiencies necessitate horizontal and vertical bone reconstruction for optimal implant positioning. Despite several available techniques, achieving desired augmentation outcomes remains challenging. This case study aims to present a modified ridge split technique for bone reconstruction in horizontal and vertical dimensions.

Evaluation of UV photofunctionalization effect on ultrastructural properties of SLA titanium disks: An in vitro study.

Background: The success rate of dental implants diminishes over time; the lack of osseointegration and infection are the major causes of most implant failures. One of the effective methods to improve the surface properties is to irradiate ultraviolet (UV) light. This study investigated the effect of UV photofunctionalization on the ultrasuperficial properties of sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched (SLA) titanium discs.
