AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the need for prosthodontic treatment and improve strategies for treating patients with oral lichen planus (LP) and its associated mucoperiodontal lesions.
- A cohort of 74 patients was involved, focusing on the results of prosthodontic treatment in 41 individuals, highlighting the challenges encountered when standard protocols were applied without considering the specific oral conditions linked to LP.
- Improved treatment protocols led to a significant reduction in various oral health complications, enhanced masticatory efficiency, greater speech function, better hygiene maintenance for prosthetics, and decreased adaptation time for patients.
Article Abstract
Objective: To assess the need for prosthodontic treatment and to substantiate the features and perspectives for optimizing prosthodontic treatment in patients with mucoperiodontal manifestations of lichen planus (LP).
Material And Methods: For assessment of the need and identification of problematic aspects of prosthetic treatment 74 patients (48.3% of the primary sample of all patients with oral LP) with oral LP-associated mucoperiodontal lesions (MPL) participated in a multicenter open cohort prospective controlled clinical trial with elements of retrospective analysis. The prospective part of the study summarizes the results of prosthodontic treatment of 41 patients (8 men and 33 women aged 45-70 years) carried out using improved therapeutic and diagnostic algorithms applied to the specifics of the MPL forms and stages.
Results: The use of standard protocols of prosthodontic treatment without taking into account the status of oral mucosa in patients with oral LP was associated with the development of nonspecific (prosthetic stomatitis - 25.8%; contact-allergic stomatitis - 22.6%; focal hyperplasia - 16.1%; decubital ulcers - 12.9%, etc.) and oral LP-associated specific reactions (Kebner's symptom - 35.5%; transformation of the typical form into complicated ones - 22.6%; desquamative gingivitis and gingival lichenization - 19.4% each; gum recession - 16.5%) with the involvement of skin and mucous membranes of other localizations (6.5%) and the appearance of symptoms of carcinophobia/dentophobia (25.8%). Prosthetic treatment according to improved protocols for the management of patients with oral LP indicated a decrease in the frequency of nonspecific oral mucosal reactions (by 70.7%, <0.001), single (4.8%) specific reactions, improvement of masticatory efficiency by 32.8-55.3% (<0.01), harmonization of speech function, maintenance of a high level of hygiene of prostheses, a significant reduction in the time of adaptation to removable dentures and increased satisfaction with the results of treatment on the GRS scale (1.06±0.3 points after treatment; 3.8±0.5 points before treatment; <0.001).
Conclusion: The best dynamics of clinical and sociological indicators was noted in persons with prosthetic replacement structures based on implants.

Background: Dental caries is one of the most common non-communicable diseases in humans. Various interventions are available for the management, of which microinvasive techniques such as infiltration, sealants, glass ionomers, are novel and convenient. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare microinvasive techniques with noninvasive or invasive treatment modalities in terms of effectiveness in halting interproximal caries lesion progression radiographically assessed.

Background: Home bleaching is a promising option for addressing discolored teeth conservatively. However, its impact on the physical and mechanical properties of indirect restorations remains unknown. This study provides comparative insights into the material responses to aesthetic treatments by assessing the effects of home bleaching agents on two hybrid ceramics: VITA ENAMIC and Grandio Blocs.

This in vitro study aims to evaluate various surface treatments on the shear bond strength and failure mode of CAD/CAM PMMA teeth to the heat-polymerized acrylic denture base. The study sample consisted of 100 teeth that were divided equally into five groups: Group 1: denture artificial teeth (control), Group 2: PMMA teeth without surface treatment, Group 3: PMMA teeth with MMA etching, Group 4: PMMA teeth with sandblasting (aluminum oxide particles), and Group 5: PMMA teeth with perpendicular grooves. The shear bond strength test was performed using a universal testing machine and the failure mode was recorded.
