Introduction: Demand for dental care in Basse-Normandie has been severely affected by the reduced availability of local services. One of the missions of hospital dental services is to respond to these difficulties in accessing care.
Purpose Of The Research: The objective of this study is to determine how hospital activity fits into the local dental care offer.
Purpose: A questionnaire survey was recently undertaken among French dental students (FDSs) to investigate their practices, knowledge and opinions in various domains of minimal intervention (MI) in cariology. The present work focuses on management of deep carious lesions (DCLs).
Materials And Methods: The questionnaire was administered (Spring 2018) to all the fifth-year students of the 16 French dental schools.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess French dental students’ knowledge and practices related to minimal intervention techniques in treating dental caries, focusing on restorative management.
- A survey conducted in spring 2018 among fifth-year dental students showed a high response rate, revealing that most students favored invasive treatments over non-invasive options, indicating a lack of awareness of current minimal intervention guidelines.
- The findings emphasized the need for improved education in dental schools regarding non-invasive strategies and the importance of distinguishing between different stages of carious lesions to reduce unnecessary procedures.
Background: During interventions for deep caries lesions without severe symptoms, preserving pulpal vitality is important to ensure treatment success, improve organ prognosis, and decrease cost-effectiveness. Current pre-operative radiographs allow visual estimation but not accurate measurement of lesion depth.
Purpose: Investigate the ability of ratio 'remaining/total dentin thickness' (RDT/TDT, as determined on pre-operative radiographs) to predict pulp exposure during excavation.
Article Synopsis
- A national questionnaire study assessed the knowledge and opinions of French dental students about minimal intervention (MI) in dentistry, particularly focusing on caries risk assessment (CRA) and dental sealants (DSs).
- The study found that while a majority of students recognize the importance of MI and CRA, many don't consistently apply these concepts in their clinical practice, with less than half making treatment decisions based on individual risk levels.
- It highlights the need for improved and standardized education in cariology to ensure dental students are well-equipped with the latest practices and recommendations in preventive dentistry.
Objectives: Rapid development of digital technologies and 3D printing provide new tools for orthodontic indirect bonding. The purpose of this in vitro study is to evaluate the clinical acceptability of hard CAD/CAM indirect bonding tray.
Material And Methods: Ten soft silicone transfer trays and ten hard CAD/CAM trays were produced, and 200 brackets were placed on them.
A Protocol for Treatment of Minor Orthodontic Relapse During Retention.

Objectives: Successful orthodontic treatment presupposes that the esthetic and functional outcomes are maintained. Bonded retainers on the incisors and canines provide this stability. Failure of one or two units exposes the teeth to a relapse.
