The Spot‐Dam Technique: A Protocol for Adhesive Cementation of BOPT Crowns

open access: yesJournal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, Volume 38, Issue 8, Page 1495-1505, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective The Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique (BOPT) uses vertical tooth preparation without a defined finish line, guided by provisional restorations to shape the gingival emergence profile. Subgingival crown margins inherent to BOPT increase the risk of residual cement and soft‐tissue trauma during adhesive cementation.

The Role of the Hyoid Bone in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 35, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has numerous complications that negatively impact patients' quality of life. Early diagnosis can significantly reduce these complications. The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between the hyoid bone position and the severity of apnea, and to determine if hyoid‐related cephalometric variables can ...
