Response of human gingival keratinocytes to hybrid CAD/CAM material eluates.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of hybrid CAD/CAM-blocks on immortalized human gingival keratinocytes (HGK).

Methods: Samples of two different hybrid CAD/CAM materials [Lava™ Ultimate (3 M); VITA Enamic® (VITA Zahnfabrik)], a composite material [ceram.x® universal (Dentsply Sirona)] and a CAD/CAM ceramic [VITABLOCS® (VITA Zahnfabrik)] were stored in cell culture medium for 72 h to prepare eluates according to ISO-10993-12:2012.

In vivo full-arch accuracy of intraoral scanners: a narrative review.

Aim: The present narrative review aims to provide an overview of the in vivo accuracy of full-arch scans performed with currently used intraoral devices and to compare different methods for the determination of in vivo accuracy. Materials and methods: An electronic search was performed with the PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Web of Science databases, including articles from 2015 to 2020. Specific search strategies were developed for each platform.

Esthetic and functional rehabilitation of severe facial asymmetry and dental attrition in a patient with hemifacial microsomia: an interdisciplinary treatment outcome.

The treatment management of patients with hemifacial microsomia (HM) includes both surgical and nonsurgical approaches and depends primarily on the degree of deformity of the facial and skeletal structures. In this context, the combined efforts of the maxillofacial surgeon, the orthodontist, and the prosthodontist are essential for a satisfactory functional and esthetic outcome. Case presentation: A 31-year-old man presented with a chief complaint of facial asymmetry.

Effectiveness of soft tissue augmentation procedures for coverage of buccal soft tissue dehiscence around dental implants: A systematic review.

Objective: This systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of soft tissue augmentation procedures for complete coverage and mean coverage of buccal soft tissue dehiscence (BSTD) in patients with implant-supported restorations.

Methods: Three databases were surveyed for randomized (RCTs), non-randomized controlled clinical trials (CCTs), cohort studies, case-control studies, and case series with a minimum of five patients per control or test group. Studies dealing with soft tissue augmentation procedures to cover BSTD-occurring during implant function and not due to the result of peri-implantitis-were included.

Antibacterial Effects of Modified Implant Abutment Surfaces for the Prevention of Peri-Implantitis-A Systematic Review.

The aim of the present study was to systematically review studies investigating antibacterial implant abutment surfaces or coatings, which may suppress bacterial growth to prevent plaque-induced peri-implant inflammatory disease. Data were collected after identification of case, assay/laboratory procedure, predicate/reference standard and outcome (CAPO). Seven hundred and twenty (720) records were identified through data base searching.

Gender- and age-related differences in the width of attached gingiva and clinical crown length in anterior teeth.

Background: The anatomical features of the gingiva and the clinical crowns and their interrelation, especially in aesthetically and functionally demanding areas, are important in complex dental or implant-retained prosthetic rehabilitations. This observational cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate gender- and age-related differences in the width of attached gingiva (WAG), the clinical crown length (CCL), and their interrelation in the anterior teeth to determine the relationship between the pink and white aesthetics.

Methods: Eighty (54 females, 26 males) fully dentate Caucasian participants between the ages of 20 and 25 years and 36 probands (23 females, 13 males) between the ages of 45 and 55 years were included in the present study.
