Assessment of the effectiveness of invisible aligners compared with conventional appliance in aesthetic and functional orthodontic treatment: A systematic review
AbstractTo seek scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of invisible aligners, in the aesthetic and functional aspects, compared with that of conventional braces. An electronic search was performed with a complementary grey literature search for in vivo research. No language restrictions were applied. Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, ClinicalTrials and GreyLiterature databases were used. Studies were first selected by title and abstract; those potentially eligible were read in full. Non ‐randomized studies were assessed for risk of bias using the tools Methodological Index for Non‐randomized Studies (...

Influence of a light ‐activated glaze on the adhesion of Streptococcus sanguinis to the surface of polymers used in fabrication of interim prostheses
ConclusionThe application of glaze and the thermocycling do not influence, in a statistically significant manner, the bacterial adhesion on polymer surfaces. (Source: Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry)

Distribution of platelets, transforming growth factor ‐β1, platelet‐derived growth factor‐BB, vascular endothelial growth factor and matrix metalloprotease‐9 in advanced platelet‐rich fibrin and concentrated growth factor matrices
ConclusionAlthough these preparations do not allow accurate quantification, platelet counts and growth factor levels seemed higher and leukocytes were less activated in A ‐PRF. This may explain A‐PRF’s higher ability to release growth factors. (Source: Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry)

Evaluation of SOX2 and podoplanin expression in oral epithelial dysplasia and its correlation with malignant transformation
ConclusionAlteration in SOX2 and podoplanin is likely an important event in head and neck carcinogenesis; however, their expression may be valuable only in a few cases of oral epithelial dysplasia to assess the risk of malignant transformation.

Mast cell expression in oral lichen planus: A systematic review
AbstractLichen planus is a common chronic, inflammatory, immune ‐mediated mucocutaneous disorder affecting the skin and mucosa. The role of mast cells in the genesis of lichen planus has been debated. Establishing a definitive part played by mast cells and its degranulation would possibly provide a permanent, cost‐effective treatment modality for oral lichen planus (OLP). This review aims to study the expression of mast cells qualitatively and quantitatively in OLP. The research questions were framed to assess the mast cell count, localization within the epithelium basement membrane zone and degranulation of mast cells...

Socket ‐shield technique for implant placement to stabilize the facial gingival and osseous architecture: A systematic review
AbstractThe aim of the present study was to establish the efficacy of the socket ‐shield technique (SST) for the stabilization of the facial gingival and osseous architecture. An electronic search including the Cochrane databases, EBSCOhost, Medline/PubMed and Web of Science was performed. Articles related to SST for placing dental implants were included. Articles and abstract s not written in English were excluded. The initial literature search resulted in 113 articles related to questions raised. Hand searching of the journals related to implants and cross‐referencing related to SST within the selected articles resul...
