Objective: To report and compare the survival of minimally invasive direct and indirect restorations of different materials for restoring the worn dentition.
Material And Methods: A systematic search was conducted in six databases: MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, CENTRAL, VHL, and EMBASE. The eligibility criteria of this systematic review used the PICO framework to address the following research question: "In dentate patients with a worn dentition (P), does rehabilitating their lost tooth structure with indirect restorations (I) or direct (C) effect the survival and success of treatment (O)?".
Indirect Restorations for Increasing the Vertical Dimension of Occlusion.

Article Synopsis
- The article discusses a clinical case involving a 44-year-old woman suffering from erosive tooth wear due to bulimia and bruxism, focusing on restoring her vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) using minimally invasive methods.
- After a period of therapy with a Michigan splint, the patient required full mouth prosthetic rehabilitation, leading to the decision to slightly increase her VDO by 1 mm.
- The treatment included creating thin lithium disilicate ceramic restorations for her teeth, demonstrating that effective and aesthetic restoration can be achieved with minimal invasiveness.
Objectives: To investigate if the fracture load of implant-supported cantilever fixed dental prostheses (ICFDPs) in the anterior region is affected by the implant type and the aging protocol.
Materials And Methods: Sixty ICFDPs were prepared using multilayer monolithic zirconia for restoring bone-level (BL) and tissue-level (TL) titanium-zirconium implants. Fracture load was measured at baseline (no aging) or after aging in a chewing simulator loading the implant crown or the cantilever in a 30° angle (n = 10 per group).
Establishing a CAD/CAM workflow for stabilization appliances (Michigan splints).

December 2024
Stabilization appliances (Michigan splints) are well studied and widely adopted for managing bruxism and temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Traditionally, these appliances have been fabricated by wax modeling and pressing resin onto casts made from irreversible hydrocolloid or silicone impressions. This article provides a detailed description of an all-digital workflow that uses intraoral scanning and computer-aided design (CAD) software to design a stabilization splint on a digital cast that can be manufactured autonomously by a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) grinding machine in a subtractive procedure.

- Serotonin, a neurotransmitter produced from tryptophan, plays multiple roles in regulating bodily functions like sleep, appetite, and anxiety, and is linked to Alzheimer's disease and various psychiatric disorders.
- It helps neurons to develop and adapt, and recent studies show that serotonin is also found in immune cells, influencing intracellular processes through protein modifications.
- The article reviews the history and recent findings on serotonin's impact on depression, aging, and neurological diseases, focusing on its biological functions and potential therapeutic strategies.
