The Scientific Investigation Committee of the American Academy of Restorative Dentistry offers this review of select 2023 dental literature to briefly touch on several topics of interest to modern restorative dentistry. Each committee member brings discipline-specific expertize in their subject areas that include (in order of appearance here): prosthodontics; periodontics, alveolar bone, and peri-implant tissues; dental materials and therapeutics; occlusion and temporomandibular disorders; sleep-related breathing disorders; oral medicine, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and oral radiology; and dental caries and cariology. The authors have focused their efforts on presenting information likely to influence the daily dental treatment decisions of the reader with an emphasis on current innovations, new materials and processes, emerging technology, and future trends in dentistry.

- EEG is crucial for diagnosing and managing genetic epilepsies in children, yet the relationship between quantitative EEG features and neurological outcomes is not well understood.* -
- The study analyzed EEG data from children with specific genetic variants, used a control group, and created models to compare EEG features like the alpha-delta ratio to predict diagnoses and neurological outcomes.* -
- Results showed significant differences in the alpha-delta ratio between genetic epilesies and controls, with high accuracy in predicting diagnoses, allowing for the identification of potential biomarkers for different genetic disorders in epilepsy.*
Article Synopsis
- Speech and language disorders have a significant genetic component, but research specifically focusing on linguistic differences as unique conditions has been limited.
- An analysis of over 52,000 pediatric individuals revealed that these disorders are most common between ages 2 and 5, with only 12% of stuttering cases accurately coded in medical records.
- The study identified key genetic disorders linked to these disorders and found notable associations between specific genetic variants and conditions like aphasia and speech delays related to hearing loss.
Purpose: An early genetic diagnosis can guide the time-sensitive treatment of individuals with genetic epilepsies. However, most genetic diagnoses occur long after disease onset. We aimed to identify early clinical features suggestive of genetic diagnoses in individuals with epilepsy through large-scale analysis of full-text electronic medical records.

In a randomized crossover design, 26 adult male semi-professional and amateur team-sport players completed two RSE sessions (3 sets of 5 × 5-s sprints with 25 s of passive recovery and 3 min of rest) with continuous BFR (45% arterial occlusion; excluding during between-set rest periods) or without (non-BFR). Mean and peak power output were significantly lower (p < 0.
