AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine how reducing occlusal surfaces affects postendodontic pain in patients with specific dental issues.
- Sixty patients with acute pulpitis and apical periodontitis were randomly assigned to either reduce their occlusal surfaces or keep them unchanged, with pain levels measured over time using a visual analog scale.
- Although pain levels decreased for both groups after treatment, there was no significant difference in pain levels between those who had surface reduction and those who did not.
Article Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this randomized clinical study was to investigate the influence of occlusal surface reduction on postendodontic pain.
Methodology: Sixty patients were included with a diagnosis of acute irreversible pulpitis and acute apical periodontitis and divided randomly into two groups. In the intervention group, occlusal surfaces were reduced and left intact in the control group. Postoperative pain was evaluated at the 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after the root canal instrumentation and 6 and 12 h following obturation using visual analog scale. Data were evaluated using the Chi-square test, -test, Friedman test, Mann-Whitney -test, and Wilcoxon rank test.
Results: Postoperative pain levels in both groups were reduced significantly over the time period evaluated, however, between the two groups, there was no difference evident.
Conclusion: Occlusal surface reduction did not influence the pain following root canal instrumentation and obturation.

Unlabelled: A new lower tooth plate of from the Turonian (Upper Cretaceous) of the Dalmatian region (southern Croatia) is documented here for the first time. The specimen represents the first articulated dentition of a ptychodontid shark that has been discovered from the Balkan Peninsula and the most complete ever found for the un-cuspidate species up to now. The reconstruction of the entire lower dentition of based on this exceptionally well-preserved dentition shows a wider crushing plate than previously hypothesised with bulgy teeth limited to the central area.

Background: Long-term durability of a restoration relies on the marginal integrity and its ability to withstand the occlusal forces. Fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) exhibited superior properties in terms of fracture toughness, flexural strength, and wear resistance.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess and compare marginal adaptation and microtensile bond strength (µTBS) of posterior FRCs comparing with a condensable composite.

Objectives: To compare the stress distribution and crack propagation in cracked mandibular first molar restored with onlay, overlay, and two types of occlusal veneers using two different CAD/CAM materials by Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
Materials And Methods: A mandibular first molar was digitized using a micro CT scanning system in 2023. Three-dimensional dynamic scan data were transformed, and a 3D model of a cracked tooth was generated.

Purpose: To evaluate the physical and mechanical properties after brushing and microbial adhesion of printed resins (PRs) and heat-polymerized resins (HRs) for occlusal devices (ODs).
Materials And Methods: Knoop microhardness and roughness were evaluated in three measurements before and after brushing with detergent or dentifrice. Flexural strength and modulus of elasticity were assessed by 3-point bending, and the adhesion of Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans was evaluated by colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL) and metabolic activity using the XTT assay only without brushing.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the fracture strength of 1 mm-thick CAD/CAM occlusal veneers made from lithium disilicate (LD) and resin nanoceramics (RNC) to assess their viability in dental restoration.
- Using a novel testing protocol, the RNC group demonstrated a significantly higher load-bearing capacity compared to the LD group, indicating better durability under stress.
- Both materials experienced similar crack patterns during testing, emphasizing the importance of understanding mechanical properties for ensuring the longevity of dental restorations.
