Influence of antiplatelet medication and anticoagulation therapy after dental extractions on hospitalization: a retrospective 10-year study.

Background: The aim of this retrospective study was to identify high-risk dental extraction patients and the timing of postoperative hemorrhage to evaluate whether preventive hospitalization should be considered in patients on antiplatelet medication (AP) or anticoagulants.

Methods: Our study included 1595 procedures; 1319 were conducted under monotherapy (Group I: AP; Group II: indirect oral anticoagulant [IAC]; Group III: direct oral anticoagulant [DOAC]) and 276 under dual therapy (Group IV: double AP; Group V: AP and IAC; Group VI: AP and DOAC). We evaluated the incidence, frequency and timing of hemorrhage, hospitalization rate, and treatment of bleeding incidents.

Maxillary and mandibular overdentures retained by two unsplinted narrow-diameter titanium-zirconium implants - A clinical pilot study.

Objectives: To evaluate the survival rates and marginal bone loss of narrow-diameter titanium-zirconium implants supporting complete maxillary and mandibular overdentures up to 3 years after loading.

Materials And Methods: Ten completely edentulous patients who were dissatisfied with their complete dentures were enrolled. Two narrow-diameter implants were placed in the canine region of the maxilla and mandible.

Effects of mobile learning on writing panoramic radiograph reports: a quasi-experimental trial in dental education.

Background: In dentistry, the reporting of panoramic radiographs is particularly challenging, as many structures are depicted in one image and pathologies need to be identified completely. To enhance the learning process for these interpretations, the advantages of the increasingly popular education method of mobile learning could be used. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effectiveness of learning to report panoramic radiographs using an application (app) on a mobile device.

An innovative PantoDict program for reporting panoramic radiographs using automatic speech recognition in dental education: a randomized observer-blinded study.

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the effect of an e-learning program including automatic speech recognition on outcomes assessment in interpreting panoramic radiographs at a dental school.

Study Design: For instruction in reporting findings on panoramic radiographs, 36 participants were divided randomly into 3 seminar groups. Group A used the new PantoDict digital e-learning program for training.

Effect of drain application on postoperative complaints after surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth-a randomized observer-blinded split-mouth clinical trial.

Objectives: The aim of this randomized observer-blinded split-mouth-study is to objectively assess the influence of a rubber drain on postoperative swelling using 3D face scans as measurement method and additionally evaluate pain, trismus and complications after the osteotomy of lower third molars.

Material And Methods: Seventy-two patients with symmetrically impacted lower wisdom teeth were recruited. Before the operation, patients rated pain using the visual analogue scale, the interincisal distance was measured, and 3D face scans were taken with an optical scanner.
