Evaluation of platelet-rich fibrin and platelet-rich plasma in impacted mandibular third molar extraction socket healing and bone regeneration: A split-mouth comparative study
Conclusion: Our results showed a significant improvement in the soft tissue wound healing and increase in bone density in PRF site than PRP site. There was significant reduction of the swelling found on the 1stand 3rdday at PRF site as compared to the PRP site. Although the postoperative pain scores were less in PRF site, this was not statistically significant among the two groups. (Source: European Journal of General Dentistry)

Single tooth implant versus resin-bonded bridge: A study of patient & #39;s satisfaction
Conclusion: Both STI and RBB participants were highly satisfied with the aesthetics, phonetics, cost and found that the treatment fees were justified and reasonable in UiTM. Therefore, both treatment options are good to be indicated for single missing tooth replacement. (Source: European Journal of General Dentistry)

Analysis of root and canal morphology of maxillary first and second molars among malay ethnic in the malaysian population with the aid of cone-beam computed tomography: A retrospective study
Conclusions: MB2 canal was common among Malay ethnic with the prevalence of approximately 60% and 35% in maxillary first and second molars, respectively. Our findings will increase the knowledge and awareness of dental clinicians to be more vigilant in identifying the MB2 canal to ensure complete cleaning and obturation of all root canals during root canal treatment.

In vitro evaluation of the erosive effect of probiotic drink on tooth enamel
Conclusion: Although PD was found to be acidic, it exhibited low erosive activity, most probably due to the presence of high calcium content and certain bacterial strains in the drink. The number and type of bacterial strain in the drink did not significantly contribute to the erosion of the enamel, as no calcium loss was found except for certain drinks of repeated exposure in days 3 and 5. However, consistent weight loss was measured over a period of 7 days. In conclusion, PD does not cause any calcium loss on tooth enamel. Other than beneficial to the gut, it also promotes calcium reabsorption to the tooth enamel. (Sourc...

The art of minimal tooth reduction for veneer restorations
Carlos Alberto Jurado, Jose Villalobos-Tinoco, Akimasa Tsujimoto, Pedro Castro, Ysidora TorrealbaEuropean Journal of General Dentistry 2020 9(1):45-52 Minimal tooth reduction is crucial for the long-term success of adhesive restorations. It has been proven that bonding to enamel is more predictable in obtaining better long-term success than dentin due to its higher percentage of mineral content. The diagnostic wax-up and subsequent mock-up are the first diagnostic tools available to evaluate discrepancies between current and ideal tooth proportions. The intraoral mock-up provides the patient a tactile and visual evaluatio...

Effect of two irrigation protocols and obturation techniques on the apical sealing ability of different root canal sealers: An in vitro study
Conclusions: The type of irrigation protocol and obturation technique could affect the apical seal of tested sealers. When the single-cone technique was used, AH Plus with NaOCl + H2O2 and MTA Fillapex with NaOCl + CHX irrigation protocols showed significantly a high apical seal. RealSeal SE showed the worst apical seal when canals were irrigated with NaOCl/H2O2 and filled with the single-cone technique. All sealers showed inferior results when used with the continuous wave technique. (Source: European Journal of General Dentistry)
