Bone graft substitutes and dental implant stability in immediate implant surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Implant dentistry is currently being revolutionized by breakthroughs in techniques, technology, and material, there are few systematic reviews and meta-analyses that examine the effects of utilizing different bone graft substitutes in immediate implant placement surgeries.

Aim: The purpose of this research is to systematically review and meta-analyze the effect that different bone graft substitutes have on implant stability when concurrently utilized in patients undergoing immediate implant surgeries.

Methodology: The PICO criteria were used to construct the focused question, and the systematic review has been outlined as per the PRISMA guidelines.

Osteo/odontogenic Differentiation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells with Platelet-rich Plasma and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate.

Aim: Aim of the study was to investigate the effect of PRP and MTA individually and combined on human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells' (MSCs) proliferation and osteo/odontogenic differentiation potential.

Materials And Methods: MSCs were cultured with MTA, 5% PRP, 10% PRP, MTA with 5%PRP, and MTA with 10% PRP. Fetal calf serum (FCS) was used as control.

Flipped classroom in dental education: A scoping review.
