Caroline Carrico, PhD, Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry, Richmond, VA, USA.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to measure radiant exposure and time necessary to deliver 16 J/cm2 of radiant exposure to simulated Class I and Class III preparations by first-year dental students. First-year dental students (n=89) received a 60-minute lecture on light-curing. Using the Managing Accurate Resin Curing Patient Simulator (MARC-PS) and protective blue-light-blocking glasses, students twice light-cured Class I and Class III restorations, using the Valo Grand Cordless light-curing unit with infection-control barriers on both Standard and High Power Plus modes.

Background: The purpose of this publication is to report on the 12-month clinical and radiographic results comparing the surgical use of the Er,Cr:YSGG laser (ERL) and minimally invasive surgical technique (MIST) for the treatment of intrabony defects in subjects with generalized periodontitis stage III, grade B.
Methods: Fifty-three adult subjects (29 females and 24 males; 19-73 years) with 79 intrabony defects were randomized following scaling and root planing (SRP) to receive ERL monotherapy (n = 27) or MIST (n = 26). Fifty subjects completed the study.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of the erbium, chromium-doped:YSGG laser (ERL) compared to minimally invasive surgical technique (MIST) in treating intrabony defects in patients with chronic periodontitis.
- Fifty-three adults underwent randomized treatment after initial cleaning, with measurements of clinical attachment level (CAL), probing depth (PD), recession, and patient-reported outcomes taken at multiple time points.
- Results showed that ERL was as effective as MIST in clinical outcomes but demonstrated faster procedure times and better patient-reported experiences regarding bruising and swelling, marking it a promising option for treatment.

Aim: To compare the effectiveness of two-ridge preservation treatments.
Materials And Methods: Forty subjects with extraction sockets exhibiting substantial buccal dehiscences were enrolled and randomized across 10 standardized centres. Treatments were demineralized allograft plus reconstituted and cross-linked collagen membrane (DFDBA + RECXC) or deproteinized bovine bone mineral with collagen plus native, bilayer collagen membrane (DBBMC + NBCM).
