Influence of 3D printing orientations on physico-mechanical properties and accuracy of additively manufactured dental ceramics.

Purpose: This systematic review aims to assess the impact of different 3D printing orientations on the physico-mechanical properties, volumetric change, and accuracy of additively manufactured ceramic specimens, as well as their restorations.

Study Selection: The web database containing records for building orientation of 3D-printed ceramics until January 2024 was searched, with no language limitations. PRISMA 2020 guidelines were followed, and the risk of bias was evaluated using the modified CONSORT checklist for laboratory studies on dental materials.

Influence of different print orientations on properties and behavior of additively manufactured resin dental devices: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Statement Of Problem: Different factors affect 3-dimensionally (3D) printed resin products. However, evidence on the effect of the print orientation on resin dental devices is lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the impact of print orientation on the properties and accuracy of 3D printed implant surgical guides, occlusal devices, clear orthodontic retainers, and aligners.

Impact of 3D printing orientation on accuracy, properties, cost, and time efficiency of additively manufactured dental models: a systematic review.

Background: The evidence on the effect of printing orientation on dimensional accuracy and properties of resinous dental models is unclear. This systematic review aimed to assess the impact of printing orientation on the accuracy and properties of additively manufactured resinous dental models, besides the cost, material consumption, and time efficiency at different orientations.

Methods: A comprehensive web search (PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane) was performed in July 2024 without language restrictions.

Current applications and future perspective of virtual reality in dental education and practice in Saudi Arabia: A scoping review.

Objective: This scoping review aimed to evaluate the current state of virtual reality (VR) implementation in dental education and practice in Saudi Arabia, highlighting its advantages and challenges.

Methods: A scoping review examined VR's role in regrading dental education and practice in Saudi Arabia by searching electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, from inception to July 2024. Studies including VR applications for education, skills development, or anxiety/pain management involving Saudi dental students and practitioners were included.

Accuracy, Marginal, and Internal Fit of Additively Manufactured Provisional Restorations and Prostheses Printed at Different Orientations.

Objectives: This systematic review aimed to assess the impact of printing orientation on the accuracy and properties of additively manufactured provisional restorations.

Materials And Methods: A systematic literature search databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane) were conducted in July 2024 without language restrictions. The included studies were evaluated using the modified CONSORT checklist, and the effect measures and synthetic methods were employed to assess the accuracy of resin provisional restorations printed at various orientations.

The impact of clinical audit on antibiotic prescribing in dental practice at Taibah University Dental Hospital.

There is evidence that antibiotics are sometimes prescribed inappropriately by dental practitioners, which can lead to undesirable outcomes. This study aimed to assess the impact of a clinical audit on antibiotic prescribing practices at Taibah University Dental Hospital in Madina, Saudi Arabia. The study retrospectively analyzed antibiotic-prescribing data for pediatric patients by dental interns and faculty members over a period of 8-months.

Failure and complication rates of different materials, designs, and bonding techniques of ceramic cantilever resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses for restoring missing anterior teeth: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: The objective of this review was to assess clinical trials that have examined the materials, design, and bonding of ceramic cantilevered resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) as a potential option for replacing missing anterior teeth. The evaluation primarily focuses on the rate of restoration failure and clinical complications.

Materials And Methods: A thorough search of databases including PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library, was conducted.

IMMEDIATE IMPLANT PLACEMENT WITH A SIMULTANEOUS BONE AUGMENTATION OF THE GAP-FILLING SITES CAN POTENTIALLY DECREASE BONE LOSS COMPARED WITH AUGMENTED SITES EXHIBITING GAPS WITH BONY DEFECTS.

Validity of self-reported number of teeth among Saudi older adults: A public health perspective.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between self-reported and clinically measured numbers of teeth in older adults from Almadinah Almunawwarah, KSA, and to identify factors associated with self-reporting accuracy.

Methods: This study included 337 older adults (≥60 years). Participants completed a survey assessing sociodemographic characteristics, self-rated oral and general health, and the self-reported number of teeth.

Polymeric Denture Base Materials: A Review.

An ideal denture base must have good physical and mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and esthetic properties. Various polymeric materials have been used to construct denture bases. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is the most used biomaterial for dentures fabrication due to its favorable properties, which include ease of processing and pigmenting, sufficient mechanical properties, economy, and low toxicity.
