On 238 intra-oral roentgenograms there were assessed carious process, shape, size, extent and depth of defects as well as the possibility of complications in teeth which were not treated. There were assessed 277 defects, out of which 194 in upper teeth and 83 in lower ones. In all the teeth of the maxilla and of the mandible there was found the greatest number of amorphic defects and semilunar contact surfaces. There were also observed a lot of defects in radiciform cementum, thus, often under the gingivae. These are sites difficult for access for clinical examination. That is why radiologic examination is often conclusive in localizing carious process and in accurate diagnosing in the case of pulpitis going on.

Double-vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (double-VISTA) with connective tissue graft for treating multiple gingival recessions: 2-year follow-up.

Background: Gingival recession has a multifactorial etiology, involving various predisposing and precipitating factors. Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are often associated with gingival recession and pose challenges due to their complex pathodynamics. There is limited evidence regarding tunnel-based procedures combined with connective tissue grafts (CTGs) for treating recession-associated NCCLs.

Background: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has gained popularity for its caries-arresting properties, yet its tendency to cause esthetic concerns due to black-staining limits its widespread acceptance.
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the shear bond strength of Activa BioActive and Giomer restorative material with different protocols of SDF pretreatment on carious dentin.
Materials And Methods: Ninety-two extracted teeth were decoronated at the cementoenamel junction, sectioned 1 mm into dentin, mounted in acrylic resin and randomly divided into four ( = 8) control and six ( = 10) experimental groups.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and experience of dental caries in 15-year-olds in the Arctic region of Russia through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
- Only 4 out of 208 identified publications met the criteria for inclusion, with a total of 1567 adolescents analyzed, revealing a high caries prevalence rate of 87.9%.
- The findings emphasize the urgent need for further research on adolescent dental health and the development of effective preventive strategies in this region.

The combination of different methods has been advocated to increase sensitivity in detecting secondary caries lesions. This cross-sectional study compared the detection of caries lesions around posterior restorations and treatment decisions using bitewing radiographs alone or in combination with clinical information from patient records. The radiographs (n = 212) were randomly distributed into two sequences for assessment across two phases, with a wash-out period of two weeks.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: During the dental examination, the incidence of dental caries in 360 children aged 15-18 years from various biogeochemical zones of the cross-border region of the Upper Tysa region was studied and assessed using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System - ICDAS II (International Caries Detection and Assessment System).
Results: Results: It was found that the use of physiologically suboptimal drinking water from decentralized water resources is among the environmental determinants of the state of dental health of children in the Upper Potyssia.
