The Immediate Effects of a 3D Intraoral Scanner as an Adjunctive Oral Hygiene Educational Tool: A Randomised Controlled Trial

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This single‐visit randomised controlled clinical trial (RCT) aimed to evaluate the immediate effects of a three‐dimensional (3D) intraoral scanner as an adjunctive oral hygiene education tool compared to standard personalised oral hygiene instruction (OHI) in healthy adults.

Effectiveness of Augmented Reality‐Guided Interdental Brushing Instruction Compared With Conventional Methods: A Three‐Arm Randomized Controlled Trial

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Patient instruction in interdental brushing is most often delivered chairside using a dentiform model or in‐mouth demonstration, both of which are operator‐dependent and difficult to standardize. Augmented reality (AR) has emerged as a learning aid in clinical training, but its effectiveness for direct patient education in oral ...

Optimal Hypoxia Mimetic Small Molecules for Enhancing Angiogenic Properties of Stem Cells From Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Hypoxic preconditioning of cells holds promise for regenerative therapies, yet identifying effective and safe methods for clinical application remains challenging. We aimed to determine optimal hypoxia‐mimetic small molecules (SMs) that stabilize hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α (HIF‐1α) and their dosages for hypoxic preconditioning in stem ...

The Role of Neuropeptide Y in Dental Pulp: Balancing Neurogenic Inflammation and Pain Modulation

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dental pulp is a densely innervated, low‐compliance tissue in which neurogenic inflammation can rapidly escalate into oedema, raised intrapulpal pressure, microvascular compromise, and pain. While Substance P (SP) and Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) are well‐established drivers of pulp vasodilation, the Neuroopeptide Y (NPY ...

Extended Reality in Endodontics: A Review of Current Applications and Future Potential

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Extended reality (XR) technologies, encompassing augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR), are increasingly used in endodontic education and practice. A gap exists regarding understanding of XR's applications and limitations among endodontic educators and practitioners.
