Antibiotic prescribing patterns in the placement of dental implants in Europe: A systematic review of survey-based studies.

Background: The present systematic review aims to investigate the guidelines for prescribing Preventive Antibiotic Therapy (PAT) in the placement of dental implants (DIs) without anatomical constraints in healthy patients by clinicians in Europe and to compare them with current recommendations.

Material And Methods: A search was performed in 4 databases: Medline (via PubMed), Web of Science, Scopus, and LILACS. The criteria employed were those described in the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) declaration (PROSPERO Registration number: CRD42022382278).

Coronectomy of lower third molars in intimate relation to the inferior alveolar nerve: A report of two cases.

Damage to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) secondary to the extraction of the lower third molar (LTM) is a relatively frequent complication (0.35-8.40%) that can cause temporary or permanent nerve damage.

[Modified questionnaire as a method for population-based caries risk screening without exploratory methods: a cross-sectional observational pilot study].

Objective: Caries Management by Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) is a questionnaire used to diagnose the patient's overall caries risk. This study aimed to present a self-assessment questionnaire based on CAMBRA which, unlike the original, is completed by parents/caregivers, without the need for a dental examination, allowing a presumptive diagnosis to be established in children under seven years of age excluded from the oral health programme of the National Health System to establish individualised recommendations for caries risk and their early inclusion in preventive programmes of the Madrid Health Service (Madrid, Spain).

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out following STROBE guidelines using for the first time a self-assessment questionnaire based on CAMBRA in a population of children aged from three to six years from a nursery school in Madrid (Spain).

Understanding Solid-Based Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrices in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: An Integrative Review of the Critical Protocol Factors and Their Influence on the Final Product.

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a second-generation platelet concentrate whose use in clinical practice has been widely disseminated. This has led to the development of several commercial protocols, creating great confusion as to the terminology and implications of each of them. This integrative review aims to identify the critical factors of each of the phases of the solid-based PRF matrix protocol and their possible influence on their macro- and microscopic characteristics.

Evaluating the clinical behavior of veneered zirconia in comparison with monolithic zirconia complete arch implant-supported prostheses: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Statement Of Problem: Because the use of zirconia in dentistry is relatively new, the number of published studies on the subject is scarce, even though material selection is an important factor in clinical performance. Therefore, a systematic assessment of the impact of the prosthetic material, framework design, veneering material, and manufacturing process is required.

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the survival and success rates of feldspathic porcelain veneered zirconia (VZir) in comparison with monolithic zirconia (MZir) complete arch implant-supported prostheses (CAISPs).
