Attitudes and Perceptions of Dentists and Dental Residents Practicing in the Navi Mumbai Region Toward the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry: A Descriptive Survey.

Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) has been gaining considerable attention in recent years within the healthcare field. It has established a presence in various aspects of health sciences, including accurate diagnosis and precise, streamlined treatment. This study aimed to assess the attitudes of dental residents and dentists in the Navi Mumbai region toward the use of AI in dentistry.

Current appraises of therapeutic applications of nanocurcumin: A novel drug delivery approach for biomaterials in dentistry.

Curcumin is a natural herb and polyphenol that is obtained from the medicinal plant Curcuma longa. It's anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-mutagenic, antioxidant and antifungal properties can be leveraged to treat a myriad of oral and systemic diseases. However, natural curcumin has weak solubility, limited bioavailability and undergoes rapid degradation, which severely limits its therapeutic potential.

Influence of manufacturing technique on marginal fit of cobalt chromium restorations: An Study.

Background: For porcelain fused to metal restorations, computer-aided designing (CAD) / computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems claim to provide improved marginal fit than conventional casting systems.

Aim: The present in-vitro study was conducted to compare the marginal fit of cobalt-chromium alloy copings fabricated with milled wax/lost wax, CAD/CAM milling/sintering and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) techniques.

Materials And Method: A metal die simulating a prepared tooth was fabricated and scanned using an optical scanner.

Determination of the occlusal plane using a custom-made occlusal plane analyzer: a clinical report.

In fixed prosthodontic procedures, when it has been determined that restoration of all or most of the posterior teeth is necessary, the use of the Broderick occlusal plane analyzer provides an easy and practical method to determine an occlusal plane that will fulfill esthetic and functional occlusion requirements. However, several manufacturers of semiadjustable articulators offer no such occlusal plane analyzers for use with these instruments. This article demonstrates the use of a custom-made Broderick occlusal plane analyzer with a semiadjustable articulator to determine the correct curve of Spee for the occlusal plane.
