Article Synopsis
- After a tooth extraction, a common complication known as dry socket can lead to severe pain and hinder healing, traditionally treated with antiseptic dressings like Alveogyl.
- This study investigates the effectiveness of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLT) compared to conventional treatments in alleviating the symptoms of dry socket.
- The meta-analysis found that LLT significantly reduces pain associated with alveolitis more effectively than Alveogyl, although it stops short of recommending laser therapy as a complete replacement for traditional methods.
Background: The aim of the present study was to compare the vertical dimension changes, before and after treatment, in two groups of growing patients, one group treated with clear aligner therapy versus a group treated with Quad-helix and bite-block therapy.
Methods: The studied sample was composed of n. 40 patients (20 females and 20 males with a mean age of 8.
(1) Background: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in tooth-derived materials as valuable alternatives to synthetic biomaterials for preventing alveolar ridge dimensional changes. This study aimed to evaluate the histological and clinical differences between alveolar ridge preservation procedures in the maxilla and mandible using demineralized dentin treated with Tooth Transformer. (2) Methods: A total of 178 patients in good general health were enrolled, with 187 post-extractive sockets lacking buccal and/or palatal bone walls.

Materials And Methods: Three types of sterile and decontaminated titanium surfaces (RS, UTM, XA) were used for analysis. Nine disks per surface type were subjected to micro- and nanotopography analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), roughness analysis, and fibroblast cultivation.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance and possible complications of single zirconia crowns fabricated using an intraoral digital computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) protocol in normal and dysfunctional patients after 3 years of follow-up.
Materials And Methods: Seventy patients were included in this study. The teeth were prepared with a knife-edge marginal design, and temporary crowns were placed.
