Effect of telescopic distal extension removable partial dentures on oral health related quality of life and maximum bite force: A preliminary cross over study
ConclusionWITHIN The Limitations of This Study, Mandibular Telescopic Distal Extension Removable Partial Dentures with Cantilevered Extensions Were Associated with Improved Oral Health Related Quality of Life and Maximum Bite Force Compared to Telescopic or Conventional PRDP. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCETelescopic distal extension removable prostheses is an esthetic restoration in partially edentulous patients with free end saddle. This article describes the addition of cantilevered extensions of this prosthesis. The results showed that telescopic distal extension removable prostheses with cantilevered extensions were associated ...

Effect of tooth brushing on gloss retention and surface roughness of five bulk ‐fill resin composites
ConclusionAfter brushing, the bulk‐fill RBCs were all rougher than the control nano‐filled RBC. The nano‐filled bulk‐fill RBC was the least affected by brushing. Clinical SignificanceBulk‐fill RBCs lose their gloss faster and become rougher than the nanofilled conventional RBC, Filtek Supreme Ultra. The nanofilled bulk‐fill RBC was the least affected by tooth brushing. (Source: Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry)

The impact of silver nanoparticles integration on biofilm formation and mechanical properties of glass ionomer cement
ConclusionIncorporation of silver nanoparticles with GIC can limit S. aureus biofilm formation with an insignificant effect on mechanical properties and noticeable influence on its coloration, which restrict its usage in areas where esthetic is not of major concern. Clinical significanceAs the modification of GIC with silver nanoparticles improved the antibiofilm properties without altering its mechanical properties, it could be used as a restoration of root carious lesion mainly in nonesthetic areas, a base under composite restorations in deep posterior cavities and as a core material in caries susceptible patients. (Sour...

Microleakage around zirconia crown margins after ultrasonic scaling with self ‐adhesive resin or resin modified glass ionomer cement
ConclusionsPiezoelectric ultrasonic scaling did not increase microleakage at the margin of zirconia crowns cemented with self‐adhesive resin or RMGI cements. Clinical significancePiezoelectric ultrasonic scaling around zirconia crowns did not impact marginal microleakage cemented with self‐adhesive resin or RMGI cements.

Lip repositioning for the treatment of excess gingival display: A systematic review
ConclusionsDespite the limited available studies on lip repositioning, an estimated mean improvement of 3.4 mm was found to be possible with surgical lip repositioning, suggesting that the technique could be used successfully to treat EGD. However, more studies are necessary to properly evaluate the treatment approach and stability of the technique. Clinical significanceRecently, the demand for esthetics has significantly increased, driven by increased patient awareness and the search for an ideal smile. Creating the perfect smile is an intricate process that requires a multidisciplinary approach, with careful considerati...

A Clinical Study Comparing Digital Radiography and Near ‐Infrared Transillumination in Caries Detection
ConclusionsThe new NIRTI system (CariVu) may serve as an adjunct to BWXR in the diagnosis of proximal caries. Clinical significanceThe NIRTI system could serve as an adjunct diagnostic system that could be used in high‐caries risk programs where patients are closely monitored with regimented follow‐up appointments. NIRTI could also be beneficial with pregnant or pediatric patients, and in situations where radiography may not be available such as remote humanitarian missions.

Protocol for a new concept of no ‐prep ultrathin ceramic veneers
ConclusionThe procedure can be appreciated for the marginal accuracy and the resulting aesthetic stability. The case reports show that properly managed no‐prep veneers can have biologically healthy and aesthetically pleasant tooth‐restoration transitions and emergence profiles. Clinical SignificanceHigh‐quality no‐prep veneers can be more challenging to realize than conventional veneers and the success seems to depend on a combination of good case selection, margins’ position, sound adhesive principles, clinical, and laboratory experience.

In ‐office bleaching efficacy on stain removal from CAD/CAM and direct resin composite materials
ConclusionsBased on material nature, 40% hydrogen peroxide bleaching can remove staining. The new resin‐based CAD/CAM blocks showed promising results in terms of color stability. Clinical SignificanceBleaching using 40% hydrogen peroxide can be an effective method to remove stains from dental restorations. In this way, restoration replacement as a result of discoloration may no longer be necessary. (Source: Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry)

Thickness evaluation of articulating papers and foils
Abstract Articulation and occlusion test materials are tools used in daily prosthodontic and restorative procedures that aid the clinicians in the evaluation of adjacent and opposing natural and/or artificial tooth contacts. A precision micrometer (Series 293, Mitutoyo, Japan) with a resolution of 0.001 mm was used to measure the thickness of five articulating papers and six articulation foils. Four of the articulating foils tested presented thicknesses inferior or equal to 21 μm, confirming their adequacy for the evaluation of natural dentitions. Clinicians and researchers should be aware that some labeled and actual pap...

Effect of composite type and placement technique on cuspal strain
ConclusionsThe tested bulk‐fill composite resins exerted less strain onto tooth structure than the incrementally placed conventional composite resin, although the magnitude of generated strain was product‐dependent. Bulk‐filling with conventional composite resins is contraindicated. Clinical significanceBulk‐fill composite resins exerted less strain onto adjacent tooth structure than a traditional composite, even when that composite is was placed incrementally. Bulk‐filling with traditional composite resins is unpredictable and contraindicated. (Source: Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry)
