Purpose: The aims of the present study were (a) to compare the scanning time and image count to complete optical scans of a typodont between augmented-reality-assisted intraoral scanning (ARIOS) and intraoral scanning (IOS); (b) to compare the accuracy of the digital casts derived from ARIOS and IOS; (c) to compare participant-related outcomes between ARIOS and IOS.
Materials And Methods: A multi-session within-subject experiment was conducted to compare ARIOS and IOS. Thirty-one dental students participated in the study.
Aim: The aim of the present retrospective study was to evaluate the long-term results, including technical and biologic outcomes, of maxillary extended porcelain veneers with an incisal edge thickness above 2 mm.
Materials And Methods: Patients treated with extended porcelain veneers performed by a single clinician at University of Geneva between 1990 and 2003 were identified and invited to an examination. Of the 37 identified patients, 10 patients with 50 veneers agreed to be examined and were included.
Aim: The epidemiological relationship between periodontitis and caries remains controversial, and evidence synthesis is currently lacking. Therefore, this systematic review was designed to answer the following PECO question: 'In human adults (P), do subjects suffering from periodontitis (E) have higher presence/number of untreated carious lesions and caries experience (O) than subjects not suffering from periodontitis (C)?'.
Materials And Methods: Observational studies that met specific inclusion criteria established to answer to the PECO question were included.
Aim: While the short-term effects of hormonal events on gingival inflammation have been well described, long-term effects on the periodontium have received less attention. The aim of this cross-sectional population-based study was to evaluate the association between hormone-related events and periodontitis in a representative sample of the postmenopausal women of South Korea.
Materials And Methods: A total of 10,273 postmenopausal women representative of 6.
Aim: As an infection-driven inflammatory disease, periodontitis could lead to a reactive increase in platelet count. This mechanism could partially mediate the well-documented association between periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to test the presence of an association between periodontitis and platelet count in a representative sample of the South Korea population.
