Conclusions There was less MBL loss at implants with platform-switching than at implants with platform-matching (mean difference -0.29, 95% CI -0.38 to -0.19; P <0.00001). An increase of the mean difference of MBL between the procedures was observed with the increase in the follow-up time (P =0.001) and with the increase of the mismatch between the implant platform and the abutment (P =0.001). Due to lack of satisfactory information, meta-analyses for the outcomes ‘implant failure’ and ‘postoperative infection’ were not performed. The results of the present review should be interpreted with caution due to the presence of uncontrolled confounding factors in the included studies, most of them with short follow-up periods. Clinical Significance: The question whether platform-ma…

However, what most people don’t know is that he has a rare genetic condition called hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia , which causes a reduced ability to sweat, missing teeth and fine sparse hair. It impacts approximately 7 in 10,000 births.

ConclusionsRoot canal contents from primary endodontic infections had gelatinolytic activity for MMP?2. Moreover, CMP was effective in reducing endotoxin levels and their antigenicity against fibroblasts on gelatinolytic activity. (Source: International Endodontic Journal)

Conclusions Bonding systems which perform well in completely excavated teeth also yielded good results for selectively excavated teeth in vitro. Using fiber-enforced composites to restore selectively teeth increased fracture resistance. Clinical Significance: Bonding systems which perform well in completely excavated teeth are also suitable for restoring selectively excavated teeth. Using fiber-enforced composites seems suitable for increasing the fracture resistance of selectively teeth and their restorations. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

Abstract The cytotoxicity of a dental alloy depends on, but is not limited to, the extent of its corrosion behavior. Individual ions may have effects on cell viability that are different from metals interacting within the alloy structure. We aimed to investigate the cytotoxicity of individual metal ions in concentrations similar to those reported to be released from Pd-based dental alloys on mouse fibroblast cells. Metal salts were used to prepare seven solutions (concentration range 100 ppm–1 ppb) of the transition metals, such as Ni(II), Pd(II), Cu(II), and Ag(I), and the metals, such as Ga(III), In(III), and Sn(II). Cytotoxicity on mouse fibroblasts L929 was evaluated using the MTT assay. Ni, Cu, and Ag are cytotoxic at 10 ppm, Pd and Ga at 100 ppm. Sn and In were not abl…
