Published: January 2014

In this study, the authors review a case of a man who asymptomatically aspired a dental bur in the lower respiratory tract during dental treatment. Lack of any symptoms of foreign body aspiration erroneously suggested swallowing of the object and its passage to the stomach. This suggestion was not excluded by a control chest radiograph. Further specialist imaging examinations allowed for establishing the definite diagnosis and the patient underwent successful retrieval of the bur using left-sided thoracotomy.

Objectives: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of universal cements (UCs) to dentin prepared with different diamond burs using various adhesive strategies.

Materials And Methods: One-hundred-twenty molars were prepared to expose the mid-coronal dentin. The teeth were divided into two groups according to diamond bur preparations: coarse and super-fine grit burs.

This study aims to improve the detection of dental burs, which are often undetected due to their minuscule size, slender profile, and substantial manufacturing output. The present study introduces You Only Look Once-Dental bur (YOLO-DB), an innovative deep learning-driven methodology for the accurate detection and counting of dental burs. A Lightweight Asymmetric Dual Convolution module (LADC) was devised to diminish the detrimental effects of extraneous features on the model's precision, thereby enhancing the feature extraction network.

The aim of the study is to assess the impact of mechanical surface treatments on the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded to three-dimensional (3D) printed and milled CAD/CAM provisional materials. Sixty cylindrical samples were fabricated for each provisional material. Samples were treated with one of the following surface treatments: aluminum oxide airborne particle abrasion, diamond bur rotary instrument roughening, and phosphoric acid etching (control).

Introduction: The dynamic navigation system (DNS) in endodontics presents a significant learning curve. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the number of cases required to achieve consistent performance in DNS-assisted treatment of maxillary anterior teeth with pulp canal calcification.

Methods: A series of DNS procedures were performed on 45 calcified maxillary anterior teeth with pulp necrosis by a single endodontist who had no prior clinical DNS experience.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of laser fluorescence (LF) readings in detection of caries removal by various techniques (CRTs).

Methods: A hundred and eighty extracted human molar teeth included in the study which were scored 3, 4, and 5 according to ICDAS. Each score group was randomly assigned to 4 subgroups according to CRT including ceramic bur (Group A), carbide bur (Group B), carbide bur with alumina abrasion (Group C), and carbide bur with bioactive glass (BAG) abrasion (Group D) (n = 15 for each group).
