The Effect of Intracanal Medicaments on the Healing of Apical Periodontitis.

Background: Apical periodontitis is a prevalent inflammatory condition affecting the tissues surrounding the root apex of a tooth. The selection of appropriate intracanal medicaments for its management remains a topic of ongoing research. This study aimed to investigate the effect of calcium hydroxide and triple antibiotic paste on the healing of apical periodontitis.

Comparative Evaluation of Disinfection Protocols for Dental Impressions in Prosthodontics.

Background: In prosthodontics, dental impressions are essential for creating precise dental restorations. However, these impressions are susceptible to microbial contamination, which can pose a risk of infection to patients. Consequently, effective disinfection methods are crucial to prevent postoperative infections.

A Comparative Evaluation of the Bonding Strength, Marginal Adaptation, and Microleakage of Dental Cements in Prosthodontics: An In Vitro Comparative Study.

Background: The primary function of dental cement is to seal and support prosthodontic restorative materials. Proper selection of the dental cement contributes to the clinical success of the restoration.

Methods: A total of 166 molar tooth samples were prepared to simulate the type of tooth commonly found in prosthodontic practice.

An In Vitro Investigation of the Role of Implant Abutment Materials on the Fracture Resistance and Failure Mode of Implant-Supported Restorations.

Background: Implant-supported restorations have gained popularity in modern dentistry, and the choice of abutment material is crucial for their long-term success. This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the fracture resistance and failure mode of implant-supported restorations using different abutment materials.

Methods: Ninety standardized implant-supported restorations were included in the study.

Comparative Analysis of Surface Modification Techniques for Assessing Oral Implant Osseointegration: An Animal Study.

Background: Effective implant placement depends critically on the implant's level of osseointegration with the alveolar bone. To increase osseointegration during implant placement, research has concentrated on the surface modification of implants, and morphological analyses have looked at the thread pattern in close interaction with the bone's surface.

Aim: This study aimed to assess and compare the extent of oral implant osseointegration in different surface modification techniques.
