Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic was devastating, causing deaths, economic and social problems, and mental disorders in the lives of many people. After 3 years, the mental repercussions caused by the pandemic are unclear, especially in young adults. This study assessed the occurrence of mental disorders, anxiety, and bruxism in dental students during the postpandemic moment and determined the factors that influenced the occurrence of bruxism.

Identifying surgical and radiographic parameters that can assist with the abutment height selection would facilitate the adoption of the one-abutment, one-time concept. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the role of surgical and radiographic parameters as predictive factors for abutment height selection in implant-retained single crowns.

Material And Methods: The present study followed the SPIRIT statement and is reported according to CONSORT. Patients were randomly allocated to LLLT or control groups.
Dental treatments in hemophilic patients are challenging, and the absence of adequate preparation for the procedures can be life-threatening. This letter describes a delayed postoperative bleeding after multiple dental implants with sinus floor elevation in a patient with mild hemophilia A.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: This study aimed to assess the characteristics of different designs of systematic reviews (SRs) registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) about COVID-19.
Methods: The search was performed in the PROSPERO database using the strategy proposed by the database and considered only human studies. The last date of the search was April 27, 2020.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the number of dental procedures performed in the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS) during the first wave of COVID-19 in Brazil (1 semester of 2020) and compare it with the same period of 2019.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted based on the SUS Dataset (DATASUS). Descriptive analysis of the number of dental procedures and socio-demographic regions was presented and the number of dental procedures during the first semester of 2020 was compared to 2019, using Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test (α = 0.
Background: This scoping review aimed to map available evidence regarding minor/major oral procedures in patients with inherited bleeding disorders (IBDs).
Methods: Studies in medicine or dentistry that reported minor and major oral procedures in individuals presenting IBDs (e.g.
Objective: This clinical case report describes a novel bendable abutment as a prosthetic solution for implants presenting with an unfavorable inclination.
Clinical Considerations: A metal-ceramic screw-retained single crown was made on this novel bendable abutment in a patient presenting with a pronounced buccal inclination of an implant. A plastic reference guide is used to define the correct inclination and then this inclination is transferred to the abutment using a specific bending device at the same appointment.
The aim of this prospective epidemiological study was to evaluate the occurrence of incidents involving the craniofacial region of soccer players during three official FIFA competitions. The craniofacial incidents were identified by video analysis of all 144 matches of two FIFA World Cups (2014/2018) and the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup. Data collection included incident type, incident severity, site affected, incident cause and referee decision.

Background: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been suggested to improve primary stability at the early stages of osseointegration in animal models. However, there is still scarce evidence about its influence on implant stability in humans.
Purpose: To assess the influence of LLLT on implant stability in implants placed in fresh extraction sockets.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of bruxism and its relationship with common mental disorders (CMD) during the life course of individuals.
Materials And Methods: A representative sample (n = 537) of all 5914 births occurring in Pelotas in 1982 were prospectively investigated regarding their oral health. The CMD screening was assessed through Self-Reported Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20) at ages 22 and 30.
