Dental management before radiotherapy of the head and neck region: 4‐year single‐center experience
Abstract Objective To review our experience with a standardized dental management approach in patients with planned radiotherapy of the head and neck region based on preradiation and follow‐up data. Material and Methods Records of patients who underwent radiotherapy between June 2016 and November 2020 were reviewed.

Antibacterial effects of natural compounds on biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans
Abstract Streptococcus mutans is the main cariogenic pathogen in the oral cavity, considered to contribute toward oral diseases. S. mutans is predominantly entrapped in plaque biofilms. Objectives In this study, we surveyed the antibacterial activity of natural compounds in terms of the biofilm production of S. mutans. Material and Methods We extracted

Peri‐implant disease education and diagnosis in the pre‐doctoral curriculum
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess how pre‐doctoral periodontal programs in the United States of America are educating their dental students regarding the management of peri‐implant diseases and secondarily, to determine if a current standard of teaching exists.

Among the treatment options for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) we have surgery to correct dentofacial deformities. OSA patients are routinely and predictably submitted to surgical treatment for dentofacial deformities. Frequently, orthognathic surgery and osseointegrated implants may be necessary to enable fixed rehabilitation.

Powered Prosthesis Locomotion on Varying Terrains: Model-Dependent Control with Real-Time Force Sensing [PDF]
Lower-limb prosthesis wearers are more prone to falling than non-amputees. Powered prostheses can reduce this instability of passive prostheses. While shown to be more stable in practice, powered prostheses generally use model-independent control methods that lack formal guarantees of stability and rely on heuristic tuning.

Introduction: In the present study, the finite element method (FEM) was used to investigate the effects of prosthesis material types on stress distribution of the bone surrounding implants and to evaluate stress distribution in three-unit implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis (FDP). Materials and Methods: A three-dimensional (3D) finite element FDP

The article describes the treatment and 1 year follow-up of a patient with Sjogren syndrome, treated with 6 intraforaminal mandibular implants with delayed loading and an implant-retained fixed prosthesis. The maxillary arch has been treated with a complete denture. This made an enormous difference in comfort and function for the patient.

Abstract A biologic is a therapeutic agent with biological activity that is administered to achieve an enhanced regenerative or reparative effect. The use of biologics has progressively become a core component of contemporary periodontal practice. However, some questions remain about their safety, indications, and effectiveness in specific clinical ...
