Impact of biannual treatment with fluoride varnish on tooth-surface-level caries progression in children aged 1 –3 years
Conclusion No impact on caries progression for biannual treatment with fluoride varnish was found. Clinical significance: Using fluoride varnish as a complement to standard intervention in toddlers did not add in the prevention of dental caries or its progression. The education of parents in the use fluoride toothpaste as they start brushing the teeth of their children is essential. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

The effect of prosthetic rehabilitation and simple dietary counseling on food intake and oral health related quality of life among the edentulous individuals: A randomized controlled trial.
Conclusions Simple dietary advice combined with complete denture treatment could improve food intake of edentulous patients. Clinical Significance: The present study suggests that brief dietary advice provided by dentists can improve food intake of edentulous elderly. This simply diet advice is much easier compared to customized forms, might enable normal dentists provide patients it. The result of this study broadens possibility of nutritional counseling in daily clinical practice. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

Immediate implant placement into posterior sockets with or without buccal bone dehiscence defects: A retrospective cohort study
Conclusions Within the limitations of this study, flapless implant placement into compromised sockets in combination with DBBM grafting may be a viable technique to reconstitute the defected buccal bone plates due to space maintenance and primary socket closure provided by healing abutments and bone grafts. Clinical significance Immediate implants and DBBM grafting without using membranes may be indicated for sockets with buccal bone defects. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

Zirconia-based versus metal-based single crowns veneered with overpressing ceramic for restoration of posterior endodontically treated teeth: 5-year results of a randomized controlled clinical study
Conclusions The present randomized controlled trial shows that the survival of zirconia-based and metal-based single crowns is similar over a follow-up period of 5 years. No significant differences in esthetic, functional and biological outcomes were demonstrated between the two groups. The main failure mode was the chipping fracture of the veneering ceramic in both materials. Study number on ClinicalTrial.gov NCT02758457. Clinical significance According to the results of this clinical study, zirconia-based rehabilitations with overpressing veneering technique represent a valid alternative to metal-based for posterior sin...

Influence of preparation, fitting, and cementation on the vitro performance and fracture resistance of CAD/CAM crowns.
Conclusions Retentive preparation design and/or optimal fitting reduced the number of debondings. For composite restorations, adhesive cementation should be preferred. Clinical significance Preparation design, fitting parameters as well as the type of cementation impact the performance of composite crowns. Retentive preparation design and/or good fitting are mandatory to avoid debonding of composite restorations; adhesive cementation should be preferred in any case. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

Effect of restorations using a flowable resin composite in non-carious cervical lesions: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS We have moderate confidence that the resin composite viscosity does not influence the retention rates at 3 years. Similar marginal discoloration and better marginal adaptation was observed for flowable composites but the quality of evidence is doubtful. (PROSPERO CRD42015019560). (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

In-vitro cytocompatibility of dental resin monomers on osteoblast-like cells
Conclusions Monomer concentrations detected in elution studies caused toxic effects in osteoblast-like cells. Although the results from in-vitro studies cannot be directly transferred to a clinical situation our results indicate that released monomers from composite resin cements may cause adverse biological effects and thereby possibly lead to conditions favoring peri-implantitis and bone destruction. Clinical Significance The wide use of composite resin cements especially in implant-prosthetic treatments should be scrutinized to avoid possible clinical implications between eluted resin monomers and bone cells leading to...

Single mandibular implant study (SMIS) − masticatory performance − results from a randomized clinical trial using two different loading protocols
Conclusions A single midline implant in the edentulous mandible increases masticatory performance significantly, independently from the loading protocol. Clinical significance A single midline implant in the edentulous mandible increases masticatory performance. The loading protocol has no influence. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

Ten-year outcome of zirconia ceramic cantilever resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses and the influence of the reasons for missing incisors
Conclusions Anterior zirconia ceramic cantilever RBFDPs provided excellent clinical longevity. The reasons for missing incisors did not influence the longevity of the cantilever RBFDPs. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

Enamel defects and aphthous stomatitis in celiac and healthy subjects: systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled studies
Conclusions In children, celiac disease was associated with both enamel defects and aphthous stomatitis. The odds ratio estimates, however, should be interpreted with caution due to the high risk of bias showed by all the studies. In adults, the association between celiac disease and enamel defects or aphthous stomatitis was unclear because very few studies were performed on this population. Clinical significance The presence of enamel defects and/or aphthous stomatitis in a child affected by other typical or atypical symptoms of celiac disease represents an indication for further diagnostic exams for celiac disease. (Sou...

Personality traits and dental anxiety in self-reported bruxism. A cross-sectional study
Conclusions Self-reported bruxism is significantly associated to several personality traits (mainly neuroticism and extraversion) and to the level of dental anxiety (MDAS score). Clinical significance: Clinicians should be aware of the typical psychological profiles of patients who experience bruxism and the relationship with dental phobias. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

Open Access: Concepts, findings, and recommendations for stakeholders in dentistry
Conclusions/clinical significance Knowledge about concepts on OA, associated resources and research findings are important for researchers and other users of dental research to make full, appropriate use of OA, and help reduce the avoidable waste caused by inaccessible research. We need more studies into the use and development of OA in dentistry. In addition, joint efforts are required to eliminate the threat of predatory publishing to the dental profession.

Critical Review of Willingness to Pay for Clinical Oral Health Interventions
Conclusions Only a small minority of the studies used strategies to avoid well documented biases related to WTP elicitation. Cost versus benefit of many clinical scenarios remain uninvestigated. Clinical significance WTP studies in dentistry may benefit from pre-testing and the inclusion of a script to minimise hypothetical bias. They may also be better conducted face-to-face and via a shuffled payment card method. Income levels, and potentially education levels, gender and age, should be assessed for their influence on WTP values. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)
