Clinical validity of fluorescence-based devices versus visual-tactile method in detection of secondary caries around resin composite restorations: diagnostic accuracy study.
BDJ Open

Professor of Conservative Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt.
Objectives: To assess the validity of light-induced and laser-induced fluorescence devices compared to the visual-tactile method for detecting secondary caries around resin composite restorations.
Materials And Methods: The study included 20 participants with 30 resin-composite restored teeth. Restorations' margins were examined using three diagnostic methods: the visual-tactile method (FDI criteria), the light-induced fluorescence camera (VistaCam iX), and the laser-induced fluorescence device (DIAGNOdent pen), and the reference was visual inspection after removal of defective restorations.

Aim: This study evaluated the smear layer removal provided by conventional, sonic, and ultrasonic irrigation techniques.
Methodology: Forty extracted human mandibular first premolars were selected and instrumented using the ProTaper Next System files and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite.
Advantages of using touch-controlled, minimally invasive implantation technique on soft tissue in the aesthetic zone of maxillary anterior teeth.

Endosseous implant is an ideal treatment option for the treatment of denture defects and omissions. However, how to maintain the perfect gum contour of patients has been an important research topic for stomatologists and has attracted much attention. The objective of this study was to explore the advantages of minimally invasive touch-controlled implantation in maintaining soft tissue morphology in the aesthetic area of maxillary anterior teeth.

Article Synopsis
- Traditional evaluations of dental students' fixed prosthodontic skills are often time-consuming and subjective, prompting the development of a new 3D auto-evaluation tool utilizing augmented reality (3DAR) to improve the efficiency and reliability of these assessments.
- The study involved 50 dental students who prepared tooth models, which were then scanned and evaluated using the 3DAR algorithm, resulting in strong reliability scores compared to a traditional manual scoring method, while also saving significant time during evaluations.
- The results indicated that the 3DAR method not only provided highly reliable assessments but also drastically reduced evaluation time and received positive feedback from users, highlighting its potential to enhance dental education.
Treatment decision for impacted mandibular third molars: Effects of cone-beam computed tomography and level of surgeons' experience.

The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of surgeons' experience and the benefit of using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, compared to the use of panoramic radiography (PAN) images, on their decisions with regard to mandibular third molar treatment modality. Panoramic radiographs and CBCTs from a total of 143 patients who had undergone impacted third molar surgery were randomly evaluated for treatment decision by 10 participants with differing clinical experience (5 novices and 5 experienced surgeons). The degree of agreement between the same type of participants was 'Substantial Agreement' (0.
