Effects of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Haptic Technology Versus Conventional Training on Dental Education Outcomes: An Umbrella Review

European Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Context Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and haptic technologies are increasingly integrated into dental education, offering new approaches to skill acquisition, student engagement and pedagogical efficiency. However, their comparative effectiveness relative to traditional methods remains underexplored.

Comparison of surface topography changes from conventional metal brackets and self-ligating metal brackets after immersion in three different mouthwashes using atomic force microscopy: An in vitro study

Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2023
In orthodontics, the surface roughness and corrosion behavior due to metal ion releases in orthodontic brackets and archwires affect the effectiveness of tooth movement. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) can provide three-dimensional information measurements

Influence of rubbing during etching on surface roughness and interfacial characteristics of intact enamel

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Rubbing phosphoric acid during etching has been shown to improve surface roughness in prepared enamel. This study aimed to compare intact enamel's surface roughness and resin tag lengths after etching with and without rubbing. Extracted sound third molars were used for testing, mesially for conventional and distally for dynamic (rubbing ...

Histogram‐Corrected Intraoral Photographs for Early Gingivitis Screening in Orthodontic Patients

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Gingivitis has a significant impact on periodontal health, both during and after orthodontic treatment. Early detection and management are essential for minimizing tissue damage. This study investigated an early gingivitis detection method using intraoral photographs (IOPs) taken before, at the midpoint (MO), and three‐quarters of ...
