Repair bond strength of resin composite to CAD/CAM glass-ceramic: Influence of cleaning methods, surface treatments, and aging.

Objective: To evaluate the influence of different cleaning methods, surface treatments, and aging on the repair bond strength to a CAD/CAM glass-ceramic.

Materials And Methods: Forty-eight lithium disilicate CAD/CAM ceramic blocks were fabricated, sintered, and embedded in acrylic resin. After contamination with human saliva, they were divided according to the factors "Cleaning method" (Control-water/air spray, Air-particle abrasion with AlO, Ivoclean cleaning paste), "Surface treatment" (5 % Hydrofluoric acid-HF + Silane, Monobond Etch & Prime-MEP), and "Aging" (thermocycling, no thermocycling).

Photobiomodulation for the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis in patients submitted to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: health quality evaluation.

Objective: To evaluate the quality of oral health care through indicators in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for the management of oral mucositis.

Methods: Thirty-five patients were evaluated. Photobiomodulation was performed during the conditioning regimen, 1 day, 5 days, and 10 days after transplantation.

Impact of CAD/CAM burs lifetime on surface properties of dental zirconia: Implications for biocompatibility of custom abutments.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of the deterioration of computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) burs during zirconia milling, on surface roughness, contact angle, and fibroblast viability.

Materials And Methods: Ceramic blocks were milled and 75 ceramic disks (8 × 1.5 mm) made and allocated into three groups (n = 25): G1-brand new 2L and 1L burs, G2-2L bur at the end of lifetime and brand new 1L bur and G3-both burs at the end of their lifetimes.

Impact of splinting implant-supported crowns on the performance of adjacent posterior implants: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Statement Of Problem: While rehabilitation with implant-supported crowns in the posterior region is widely practiced, guidance on clinical considerations when choosing between splinted or nonsplinted implant-supported crowns is limited.

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to assess whether adjacent implants with internal connections in the posterior region should be treated with splinted or nonsplinted crowns.

Material And Methods: The systematic review was registered on the prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) under the code, CRD42021248525.

Microbiological analysis of oral biofilms in patients admitted to intensive care unit: Pilot study.

Aim: To identify Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus in oral biofilms of intubated and non-intubated patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, with 30 biofilm sites sampled. S.

Impact of orthognathic surgery on the treatment of gummy smile: an integrative review.

The gingival smile is considered unpleasant and can be treated in different ways according to its etiological factor. When caused by maxillary vertical growth excess, orthognathic surgery may be indicated to correct the vertical excess. The aim of this integrative review was to evaluate the impact of orthognathic surgery on the treatment of gingival smile.

Neurofibromas of the oral and maxillofacial complex: A 48-year retrospective study.

Neurofibromas are benign neoplasms of the peripheral nerve sheath, characterized by the proliferation of Schwann cells, perineural cells and endoneural fibroblasts. Their occurrence in the oral and maxillofacial complex is uncommon. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and histopathological characteristics of neurofibromas of the oral and maxillofacial complex excised at our institution over a 48-year period.
