Abstract: Background: Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) may promote post-extraction healing. Objective: To compare postoperative pain, clinical healing and complications among patients aged ≥70 years with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This prospective comparative clinical study included 40 patients (20 PRF and 20 controls). Pain was evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS, 0–10) on postoperative days 1, 3 and 7, and healing on days 7 and 14. Results......

Abstract: Background: Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) affect an estimated 7.2 million Americans aged 65 years or older, and their prevalence is projected to nearly double by 2060. Because no therapy yet cures these conditions, the identification of modifiable risk factors has become a national priority. Periodontitis, which affects about 42% of dentate U.S. adults aged 30 years or older, and tooth loss have emerged as candidate risk factors for cognitive decline.

Abstract: Introduction: Irrigating solutions can alter the dentin substrate and thereby influence the sealing performance of root canal sealers. This in vitro study evaluated the apical sealing ability of three sealers used with continuous wave obturation after irrigation with 3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 2% chlorhexidine (CHX), or 0.2% chitosan.
Methods: One hundred ten extracted single-rooted mandibular premolars with straight, fully formed canals were decoronated to 14 mm and prepared with ProTaper Universal instruments to F3. A glide path was established with a....

Abstract: Full-mouth rehabilitation has been revolutionized by the development of digital dentistry, which offers precise diagnosis, dependable treatment planning, and efficient clinical execution. A fully digital approach for FMR is described in this paper, which includes, computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM), digital smile design (DSD), and intraoral scanning. The benefits of digital techniques such as reduced chair times, enhanced patient communication....

Abstract: The word syndrome is derived from the Greek synonym (together) and dromos (running) and refers to a "running together" or concurrence of symptoms. Teeth are specialized structural components of the craniofacial skeleton. Developmental defects occur either alone or in combination with other birth defects. Focusing on dental aspects, we will review a selection of multiple congenital syndromes (MCA) associated...
