Background: Oral cancer is the sixth most prevalent cancer worldwide. Public knowledge in oral cancer risk factors and survival is limited.

Aim: To come up with machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict the length of survival for individuals diagnosed with oral cancer, and to explore the most important factors that were responsible for shortening or lengthening oral cancer survival.

Aim: The aim of this prospective cohort study was to evaluate the postinsertion posterior single-implant occlusion changes at 3- and 6-month intervals using T-Scan computerized occlusal analysis.

Materials And Methods: A total of 21 patients received single implant, opposed by natural dentition, in posterior regions of the maxilla or mandible (13 premolar, 8 molar) and were finally restored with cemented-retained metal-ceramic crowns. The occlusal contacts were equilibrated according to the implant-protective occlusion concept to develop light contact with heavy occlusion and no contact with light occlusion in maximum inter-cuspation.

Aim: To examine the effect of reduction in MTA particle size on dento-alveolar and osseous healing in dogs.

Methodology: Root canals of 24 mandibular premolars in four 2-year-old beagles were prepared and filled with gutta-percha and sealer. Two to four weeks later, during periapical surgery, the root-end cavity preparations in these teeth were filled with either grey ProRoot MTA or modified (reduced particle sizes with faster setting time) MTA.

Statement Of The Problem: Similar to conventional amalgam, high-copper amalgam alloy may also undergo corrosion, but it takes longer time for the resulting products to reduce microleakage by sealing the micro-gap at the tooth/amalgam interface.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of self-etch adhesives with different pH levels on the interfacial corrosion behavior of high-copper amalgam restoration and its induction potential for self-sealing ability of the micro-gap in the early hours after setting by means of Electro-Chemical Tests (ECTs).

Materials And Method: Thirty cylindrical cavities of 4.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess how varying exposure time and light intensity affect the microhardness of cured composite resin through different thicknesses of primary tooth structure.
  • A total of 170 resin composite specimens were tested using different light curing units, with varying durations and intensities, and their hardness was measured using the Vickers hardness test.
  • Results showed that curing through a 1 mm thick tooth slice decreased microhardness with increased intensity, while specimens cured through thicker slices (2 mm and 3 mm) did not improve in hardness, often falling below clinically acceptable levels.
