Occlusal splints are a standard method to treat disc displacement with reduction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). They can be classified into three major groups on the basis of function: stabilization splints, distraction splints (pivot), and ...

A study of the forces generated during equine cheek tooth extraction
Abstract Background Significant force is often applied when elevating equine teeth from the alveolus during extraction. No previous studies have investigated these forces. Objectives To develop a method to allow measurement of elevation forces (EF) applied during extraction, and to record forces during extraction of cheek teeth in both cadaver ...

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

Perceived Educational Value of a Self‐Developed 3D‐Printed Pediatric Dentistry Simulator
ABSTRACT Purpose To design and assess a 3D‐printed pediatric dentistry simulator and to evaluate its perceived educational value and realism through student and expert feedback. Methods A maxillary simulator that is mountable on phantom heads was developed and produced by desktop stereolithography with single‐use inserts, enabling proximal caries ...

NONSURGICAL CLOSURE OF OROANTRAL COMMUNICATIONS USING OCCLUSAL SPLINTS
Purpose: Oroantral communications (OACs) may close spontaneously, especially when the defect has a size smaller than 2-3 mm, whereas larger openings require surgical closure.

Abstract Background To evaluate the change in clinical tooth mobility following scaling and root planing (SRP) and to identify baseline factors predictive of the 12‐month outcome. Methods This retrospective cohort study utilized de‐identified electronic health records from the BigMouth Dental Data Repository. The final cohort consisted of 152 patients,

Abstract Background To identify novel periodontal phenotypes using unsupervised machine learning on a large‐scale, multicenter cohort, specifically characterizing disease patterns based on the “periodontal architecture” of localized structural failures (tooth mobility and molar furcation defects) rather than global severity averages alone. Methods This

ABSTRACT Background/Aim This study aims to evaluate and compare the impact absorption capacities of thermoformed ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) mouthguards and 3D‐printed polyolefin mouthguards used in sports dentistry applications. The objective is to determine whether 3D‐printed polyolefin mouthguards offer superior impact toughness compared to ...
