Objective: To develop consensus from experts in Restorative Dentistry based in the United Kingdom (UK) on the most appropriate tooth replacement strategies in adult patients with reduced dentitions using a modified Delphi analysis.
Methods: An expert panel of UK specialists (n=20) in Restorative Dentistry or Prosthodontics were asked to answer the following question: using available evidence and your clinical experience, how appropriate is each tooth replacement strategy for each clinical scenario of tooth loss in the mandible presented? Five specific clinical patterns of tooth loss were presented to panellists using clinical photographs, and using a 9-point Likert scale, they were asked to rate the appropriateness of listed tooth replacement strategies during two Delphi rounds. The target level of consensus for each statement was 70%.
Results: Consensus was reached on the appropriateness of thirty-seven tooth replacement strategies (37%) across ten clinical scenarios. Of these, thirteen were considered appropriate (13%) and twenty-four were considered inappropriate (24%).
Conclusion: The results from this Delphi process represent the consensus professional views of an expert panel of UK specialists in Restorative Dentistry and Prosthodontics.
Clinical Significance: Tooth replacement for partially dentate patients is a common clinical consideration. This study provides evidence from a Delphi process to help clinicians and patients make informed choices about appropriate and inappropriate treatment options.

Lightweight YOLOv8 for tongue teeth marks and fissures detection based on C2f_DCNv3.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Key Laboratory of Instrumentation Science, Dynamic Measurement of Ministry of Education, North University of China, Taiyuan, 030051, Shanxi, China.
This paper propose a significantly enhanced YOLOv8 model specifically designed for detecting tongue fissures and teeth marks in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnostic images. By integrating the C2f_DCNv3 module, which incorporates Deformable Convolutions (DCN), replace the original C2f module, enabling the model to exhibit exceptional adaptability to intricate and irregular features, such as fine fissures and teeth marks. Furthermore, the introduction of the Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) attention mechanism optimizes feature weighting, allowing the model to focus more accurately on key regions of the image, even in the presence of complex backgrounds.

Comparative Evaluation of Microleakage in Class V Cavities Restored with Newer Bioactive Restorative Materials: Activa Bioactive Restorative and Activa Pronto.
Int J Clin Pediatr Dent
November 2024
Private Practitioner, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
Aim: To compare the microleakage in class V cavities restored with Activa Bioactive Restorative, Activa Pronto, and nanohybrid composite.
Materials And Methods: Standardized class V cavity preparations (mesiodistal: 3 mm; occlusocervical: 2 mm; axial depth: 1 mm) were made on the buccal surface of 60 extracted intact maxillary premolar teeth. The preparations were divided into three experimental groups ( = 20) depending on the restorative material used.
3D Printed Endocrowns versus Prefabricated Zirconia Crowns for Pulpotomized Primary Molars: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
J Dent
January 2025
The department of pediatric dentistry and dental public health, faculty of dentistry, Ain Shams university. Organization of African Unity St. Abbasia - Cairo, Egypt, Post No. 11566. Electronic address:
Objectives: This study aims to compare the clinical performance of 3D printed endocrowns (ECs) and prefabricated zirconia crowns (PZRCs) in restoring pulpotomized primary molars, over 3, 6, and 12 months.
Methods: Thirty pulpotomized mandibular primary molars in 16 children aged 4-8 years were randomized with a 1:1 allocation ratio into two groups: group (A), PZRCs, and group (B), 3D-printed ECs. All restorations were evaluated for esthetic, functional, and biological properties using FDI criteria at 3-, 6-, and 12-month intervals.
