Digital quantification of soft tissue volumetric changes after scaling and root planning.

Background: Monitoring the outcome and evolution of periodontitis treatment requires analyzing changes in the periodontium. However, traditional methods for analyzing volumetric changes in periodontal soft tissues have limitations due to their invasiveness or inaccuracy. The aim of this study was to measure the volumetric changes in periodontal tissues following scaling and root planing treatment using digital methods, such as the superimposition of pre- and post-treatment STL files Material and Methods: The study started with an initial periodontal examination and intraoral scanning.

Implant-Supported Fixed Partial Dentures with Posterior Cantilevers: In Vitro Study of Mechanical Behavior.

Rehabilitation with dental implants is not always possible due to the lack of bone quality or quantity, in many cases due to bone atrophy or the morbidity of regenerative treatments. We find ourselves in situations of performing dental prostheses with cantilevers in order to rehabilitate our patients, thus simplifying the treatment. The aim of this study was to analyze the mechanical behavior of four types of fixed partial dentures with posterior cantilevers on two dental implants (convergent collar and transmucosal internal connection) through an in vitro study (compressive loading and cyclic loading).

Microtensile Bond Strength of CAD-CAM Restorative Dental Material Blocks to Resin Cement: An In Vitro Study.

Introduction: Today's dentistry frequently employs bonded partial restorations, which are usually fabricated in ceramic materials. In the last decade, hybrid materials have emerged that attempt to combine the properties of composites and ceramics.

Objectives: To evaluate in vitro, by means of a microtensile test, the bond strength between CAD-CAM restorative materials and the cement recommended by their manufacturer.

Enamel Wear of Antagonist Tooth Caused by Dental Ceramics: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the wear of the antagonist tooth in ceramic restorations.

Material And Methods: This study was carried out based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) recommendations; it was also registered in PROSPERO (register number: CRD42022316252). Three databases were consulted in the literature search, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science.

The Influence of Keratinized Mucosa on the Nonsurgical Therapeutic Treatment of Peri-Implantitis.

Objective: The main objective of this study aimed to evaluate the response to treatment in implants with peri-implantitis regarding the presence or absence of keratinized mucosa.

Materials And Methods: One hundred implants with peri-implantitis were treated non-surgically at the Prosthodontics and Occlusion Teaching Unit of the University of Valencia. Records were registered at day zero (recession, bleeding on probing, suppuration, probing depth, bone loss and plaque index), at 1, 3 and 6 months.
