Introduction: Aims This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the PrepCheck digital system as an additional feedback tool in enhancing undergraduate dental students' tooth preparation skills and its potential to enhance students' learning experience.
Material And Methods: A total of 55 BDS3 students attending the "Crowns Course" and divided into three groups participated in the study. One group (n = 24) was randomly selected as the case group and received feedback using the digital tooth preparation analysis system, PrepCheck, alongside standard visual assessment.
Article Synopsis
- Socket preservation is a surgical technique used to maintain alveolar bone dimensions after tooth extraction, with recent studies exploring the use of extracted dentine as an autograft material.
- A systematic review protocol is being developed to assess the effectiveness of dentine compared to traditional bone grafts, focusing on randomized and non-randomized studies that utilize this material for socket preservation.
- The findings will help inform dental clinicians and patients about using dentine as a less invasive option for bone regeneration, turning what is often considered waste into a valuable resource.
To establish the role of periodontal pathobionts as a risk factor for myocardial infarction, we examined the contribution of five periodontal pathobionts and their virulence genes' expressions to myocardial injury (Troponin-I) and coronary artery disease burden (SYNTAX-I scores) using hierarchical linear regression. Pathobiont loads in subgingival-plaques and intra-coronary-thrombi were compared. Troponin-I release increased with one 16S rRNA gene copy/ng DNA of Porphyromonas gingivalis (β = 6.

Materials And Methods: Twenty original studies were identified after systematically searching five databases. The majority (n = 11) compared serum anti-Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and/or anti-Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) IgG antibody responses between CHD patients and control participants.
Objectives: Periodontal disease and tooth loss were found to be associated with several peripheral vascular disorders. Nonetheless, an evaluation of the literature on the broader domains of oral health in individuals with peripheral vascular disorders is lacking. This systematic review aims to collate the current evidence on the oral health status of individuals with peripheral vascular disorders.
