Background: The study's objective is to assess the adherence of in different types of denture polymers and the effectiveness of eugenol and commercialized denture cleansers in the removal of . Three types of denture base polymers (Lucitone 199 (High-Impact PMMA), Impact (conventional PMMA) and Eclipse (UDMA)) and two hard denture reline materials (Kooliner and Tokuyama Rebase II Fast) were used in this study.

Methods: Three hundred samples were prepared (6 × 2 mm disc shape) and divided into five groups of denture polymers ( = 60) and further subjected into five treatment groups (Polident, Steradent, distilled water, eugenol 5-minutes, and eugenol 10-min).

Virtual planning has become part and parcel of digital dentistry to ensure more precise planning, better treatment outcomes, and more effective communication between dental practitioners, dental technicians, and patients. In dentistry, CAD software programs are one way to achieve virtual treatment planning. Among the most crucial and critical steps in treatment planning and execution are virtual articulation and occlusal analysis of the maxillary and mandibular arches.

Article Synopsis
  • Alloplasts are synthetic, biocompatible materials used to repair bone defects, with their acceptance by host tissues influenced by factors like pore size and inter-connectivity.
  • Recent advances in synthetic bone substitutes include calcium phosphate cements, bioactive glasses, and polymer-based options like polycaprolactone, with calcium compounds showing the most promise.
  • Products like EthOss Regeneration have gained recognition for their effectiveness, and ongoing clinical trials are exploring further applications, indicating a shift towards alternatives to traditional bone grafts.

Introduction: The purposes of this review were to appraise the level of evidence of the existing regenerative endodontic therapy (RET) publications, perform a meta-analysis on the survival and healing rates of necrotic immature permanent teeth treated with RET, and run a meta-analysis on the quantitative assessment of the root development of those teeth.

Methods: Electronic searches were performed in Web of Science, PubMed, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), and Cochrane Library databases. Two authors independently screened the titles and abstracts for eligibility.
