Inflammatory and adhesion profile of gingival fibroblasts to lithium disilicate ceramic surfaces.

Objectives: Lithium disilicate (LS) ceramic emerges as a compelling option for customized implant abutments. However, ensuring its safety and reliability requires clarification on key aspects, notably its impact on inflammation and potential for cell adhesion. This study delves into these considerations, examining the influence of LS ceramic on cytokine release and the transcriptional profile of human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) in direct contact with various LS surfaces.

Postoperative pain after third molar extraction surgery in patients with and without bruxism: an observational study.

Unlabelled: Third molar extraction surgery is a frequentprocedure in dentistry. Like any surgical procedure, it may lead to inflammatory responses, and postoperative pain is one of its main complications. Furthermore, temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a collective termfor several clinicalproblems involving orofacial structures.

Influence of graft thickness on tunnel technique procedures for root coverage: a pilot split-mouth randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of the tunnel technique (TUN) combined with either thin connective tissue graft (CTG) (TUN + thin CTG) (1 mm) or thick CTG (TUN + thick CTG) (2 mm) for the treatment of localized gingival recession (GR).

Material And Methods: Twelve patients, with 24 maxillary localized type RT1 GR were randomly assigned into two groups. Clinical, esthetic, and patient-reported outcomes were evaluated at baseline and at 6-month follow-up.

Alveolar Ridge Regeneration of Damaged Extraction Sockets using a Bovine-derived Bone Graft in Association with a Titanium Foil: Prospective Case Series.

Aims: This study aimed to determine the dimensional change in the alveolar ridge after using an anodized titanium foil (Tseal) in association with bovine bone (BB) grafting in damaged extraction sockets by cone-beam computerized-tomography.

Materials And Methods: Fifteen patients who had one hopeless tooth with over 80% of the buccal wall lost were selected and then the teeth were carefully extracted. The alveolar socket was filled with bovine bone and the Tseal was trimmed and adapted over the bone crest.

The Use of a Hybrid Pillar and Its Importance for Aesthetic Rehabilitation and Tissue Stability: A Clinical Report.

In the past, aesthetics had a secondary role in implant rehabilitation. Nowadays, the search for a perfect and harmonious aesthetic has stimulated the development of new materials and techniques. Due to this aesthetic requirement, the hybrid abutment (titanium link + zirconia) emerged as an alternative to metallic pillars.

Root coverage in isolated gingival recessions using autograft versus allograft: a pilot study.

Background: Different surgical techniques have been used to treat gingival recessions. This preliminary study compared clinical findings for the treatment of isolated gingival defects using a coronally positioned flap associated with a subepithelial connective tissue graft or an acellular dermal matrix graft.

Methods: Ten subjects with bilateral and comparable Miller Class I or II defects were selected.
