Longevity of different abutments placed on narrow diameter implants: Assessment of structural damage and loosening.

Objectives: To evaluate structural damage and loosening of abutments placed on narrow diameter implants after cyclic fatigue.

Methods: Sixty Morse taper narrow diameter implants (Neodent, Brazil) received two types of abutments (1PA- one-piece abutment or 2PA- two-piece abutment), which were randomly divided into 3 fatigue experiments (n = 10). The implants were placed into a customized supporting holder and a software-assisted digital torque wrench secured the manufacturer recommended torque for each abutment.

Structural and torque changes in implant components of different diameters subjected to mechanical fatigue.

Objectives: To evaluate torque maintenance and structural damage in implant components of different diameters subjected to a fatigue challenge.

Methods: Thirty 10-mm-long, morse taper connection, titanium dental implants and their corresponding one-piece abutments were divided into three groups (n = 10) according to implant diameter: 4.3 mm (I4.

Peri-implant Outcomes from Customized Healing Abutments Using Immediate Implants: A Systematic Review.

Purpose: To evaluate the peri-implant outcomes of customized healing abutments (CstHA) placed on dental implants inserted in fresh tooth extraction sockets.

Materials And Methods: The study was registered on PROSPERO: CRD42022304320. A systematic search in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted between April 2022 and October 2022 to identify clinical studies involving immediate implant surgery associated with CstHA placement.

A conservative full-mouth ceramic rehabilitation for a severely worn dentition.

There is a constantly growing prevalence of tooth wear in dentistry. The present case report describes a rehabilitation through ceramic restorations of a severely worn dentition based on a conservative intervention, adequate restorative material selection, and adhesive bonding strategies. A 36-year-old patient with a mainly esthetic complaint presented with signs of tooth wear caused by erosion and attrition.

Biomechanical performance of endocrown and core-crown restorations: A systematic review.

Objective: To assess and compare, through a systematic review of the literature, the biomechanical performance of endocrowns and traditional core-crowns (with and without intracanal post) for the rehabilitation of endodontically treated teeth with severe coronal structure damage.

Materials And Methods: A systematic search was performed in MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. In-vitro studies comparing endocrowns with (post-)core-crown restorations were selected and screened by two independent reviewers.

Hydrogen peroxide as an auxiliary treatment for COVID-19 in Brazil: a randomized double-blind clinical trial.

Objectives: This study evaluated the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as mouthwash and nasal spray on symptom relief in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.

Methods: Patients positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), who were treated in a hospital or at home, and patients' family members (not positive for SARS-CoV-2), were randomized into 2 groups: experimental (1% H2O2 for gargling, 0.5% H2O2 for nasal wash), and control.

Effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide as auxiliary treatment for hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Brazil: preliminary results of a randomized double-blind clinical trial.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the form of mouthwash and nasal spray as an auxiliary treatment for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Methods: Forty hospitalized patients who tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 using a reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction test were evaluated. They were randomly divided into an experimental group (n= 20; gargling with 1.
