This study aimed to investigate the artifacts induced by crowns composed of different materials with prepared teeth and titanium implants. Resin, metal-ceramic, ceramic and zirconia crowns were fabricated and placed onto the prepared teeth on a human cadaver head or titanium implants with prosthesis abutments on a dry human mandible. The samples were scanned on a 1.5 T MRI apparatus, and artifact areas were defined as the signal intensity and signal loss adjacent to the prosthesis and measured by a threshold tool with ImageJ2x. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. Resin, ceramic, zirconia, and precious metal-ceramic crowns barely produced artifacts on the cadaver skull (p > 0.999). By contrast, pure Ti and nonprecious metal-ceramic crowns created significant artifacts (p < 0.001). The average artifacts reduction of double Au-Pt and Ag-Pd metal-ceramic crowns combined with titanium implants and abutments was 79.49 mm (p < 0.001) and 74.17 mm (p < 0.001) respectively, while artifact areas were increased in double Co-Cr and Ni-Cr metal-ceramic crowns by 150.10 mm (p < 0.001) and 175.50 mm (p < 0.001) respectively. Zirconia, ceramic and precious metal-ceramic crowns induce less MRI artifacts after tooth preparation while precious metal-ceramic crowns alleviate artifacts in combination with titanium implants.

Binaural auditory beats vs music of choice as audio distraction behaviour guidance technique among children: A randomized controlled trial.
J Oral Biol Craniofac Res
January 2025
Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry, KAHER'S KLE VK Institute of Dental Sciences, Belagavi, Karnataka, India.
Background: Binaural beat is created by presenting two different pure-tone sine waves with less than a 30Hz difference dichotically. In dental settings, children listening to familiar music during treatments gain control over the anxiety caused by tools like the airotor or syringe, creating a comforting, familiar environment.
Aim: To evaluate and compare anxiety level during restorative treatment using No Music, Music of choice and Binaural Auditory Beats as Audio distraction behaviour guidance technique in children aged 6-12 years.
Interdisciplinary Approach to Retreatment of a Full-Mouth Rehabilitation: Horizontal Preparations, Vertical Dimension of Occlusion Increase, and Mucogingival Surgery in a Tetracycline-Stained Dentition.
J Esthet Restor Dent
January 2025
Analysis of Techniques, Material and Instruments Applied to Digital Dentistry and CAD/CAM Procedures Research Group, Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain.
Objective: This case report presents the interdisciplinary retreatment of a patient with a worn full-mouth rehabilitation using defect-oriented restorations, horizontal preparations, and vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) increase.
Clinical Considerations: A 58-year-old woman with a previous full-mouth rehabilitation presented with worn dentition, loss of VDO, and reduced posterior support. Examination revealed signs of parafunctional habits, tetracycline-stained teeth, and compromised aesthetics with exposed discolored teeth and open embrasure spaces.
Evaluation of the efficiency of smear layer removal during endodontic treatment using scanning electron microscopy: an in vitro study.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Department of Dental Science, Damascus University, Damascus, Syria.
Background: The smear layer formed during root canal instrumentation negatively affects root canal irrigation activity, which in turn can affect the treatment prognosis of endodontic treatment.
Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the efficiency of smear layer and debris removal in root canals using different irrigation protocols using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Materials And Methods: The quality of smear layer removal throughout the root canal was assessed in 30 intact extracted teeth divided into 3 groups according to the irrigation protocol: Group 1: 3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL) alternately with 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acetate (EDTA) was used.
Evaluation of Objective Structured Clinical Examination-assessed competence and perceived confidence in oral surgery among final-year undergraduate student.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate dental students' competencies and self-confidence in performing common oral surgical procedures. It further aimed to assess potential correlations among levels of competence and confidence with student gender.
Methods: Final-year undergraduate students from Mosul Dental School in Iraq were enrolled in a summative Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) to assess their competence in core skills and knowledge in oral surgery (OS).

Investigate the impact of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) using different photosensitizers (PSs) such as indocyanine green (IG), curcumin (CC), and methylene blue (MB), with or without intracanal application of calcium hydroxide (CH), on the push-out bond strength of glass-fiber posts (GFPs) to intraradicular dentin, the chemical composition of the root substrate, and the sealing of the adhesive interface across different thirds of intraradicular dentin. A total of 112 bovine teeth underwent biomechanical preparation and were divided into eight experimental groups (n = 14 each): Negative control with deionized water; positive control with deionized water + CH; IG group with indocyanine green and infrared laser; IG + CH group; CC group with curcumin and blue LED; CC + CH group; MB group with methylene blue and red laser; and MB + CH group. The push-out bond strength was measured using a universal testing machine (n = 8), and scanning electron microscopy characterized the fracture patterns.
