Addressing Perceived Barriers to Achieving Competency in Clinical Endodontics: A Mixed‐Methods Study
ABSTRACT Purpose/Objectives The aim of this study was to assess predoctoral dental students’ satisfaction with faculty‐created educational content, aimed at reducing perceived barriers to achieving clinical competency in endodontics. Methods: This mixed‐methods study was conducted with third (D3)‐ and fourth (D4)‐year dental students at New York ...

This study demonstrates that Biodentine XP exhibits superior cytocompatibility, promotes odontogenic differentiation, and enhances mineralization in human dental pulp stem cells, supporting its use in regenerative endodontics. Resin‐modified materials showed lower bioactivity, highlighting the importance of material composition in pulp therapy outcomes.

Reduced Dietary Protein Induces Changes in the Dental Proteome
Low dietary protein (10%) from normal (20%) does change protein expression in tooth proteome and alter developmental pathways. Among the significant protein expressions changes are actin‐based myosins, tooth, and bone development proteins. Perplexingly tooth size is not altered, suggesting more nuanced phenotypic response to low dietary protein in ...

Tracing the evolution of root coverage: Clinical milestones leading to a minimally invasive era
Abstract Over the past several decades, periodontal plastic surgery has undergone a remarkable transformation, particularly in the field of root coverage procedures. This review traces the historical evolution of surgical techniques, from the early use of pedicle flaps and free gingival grafts (FGGs) to the development of bilaminar approaches ...

Dextran sodium sulfate confounds causal role of periodontitis in inflammatory bowel disease
Abstract Background Emerging evidence supports a bidirectional link between periodontitis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). To investigate this relationship, experimental models commonly use dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) to induce colitis. However, DSS is presumed to selectively affect the colon, and its potential off‐target effects on the oral ...
