Y-TZP surface behavior under two different milling systems and three different accelerated aging protocols.
CONCLUSIONS: The surface roughness of zirconia-based crowns was not influenced by low temperature degradation or milling system. Regarding the phase transformation, autoclaving and pH-cycling aging presented a monoclinic phase increase when compared to the control group and thermocycled groups.

Periodontitis and the microbiome: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: It seems that changes in the taxonomic composition of the microbiome rather than single targeted pathogens is the key determinant of periodontitis. PMID: 30207437 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Minerva Stomatologica)

Propolis as an adjuvant to non-surgical periodontal treatment: a clinical study with salivary anti-oxidant capacity assessment.
CONCLUSIONS: In the present study, propolis was comparable to chlorhexidine in the clinical management of gingivitis. Further studies are needed to investigate its potential as a redox modulator for the oral microbiome. PMID: 30182639 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Minerva Stomatologica)

Knowledge of primary care professionals about fluoride topics.
CONCLUSIONS: Dentists and pediatricians presented limited fluoride-related knowledge. Continued education/training is encouraged and necessary at this level in order to deliver the benefits of fluoride use to populations. PMID: 30182640 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Minerva Stomatologica)

Sub-periosteal peri-implant augmented layer technique for horizontal bone augmentation at implant placement.
Authors: Trombelli L, Severi M, Pramstraller M, Farina R Abstract In the present study, a novel surgical technique, namely the sub-periosteal peri-implant augmented layer (SPAL), to increase hard and soft tissue dimensions at the most coronal portion of an implant will be thoroughly described. The surgical buccal access at the time of implant placement first consisted of a split-thickness flap to raise the most superficial mucosal layer, followed by the elevation of the periosteal layer which was detached from the buccal cortical bone plate (BCBP). A full-thickness flap was elevated on the oral aspect. A x...

Healing of human critical-size alveolar bone defects secondary to cyst enucleation: a randomized pilot study with 12 months follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitations of this pilot study, the healing of critical-size alveolar bone defects is incomplete at 1 year observation and the use of deproteinized bovine bone graft did not influence the clinical outcomes.

Evaluation of stress biomarkers and electrolytes in saliva of patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: The present data indicate that orthodontic patients are under emotional stress only during the period of higher pain experience, which could also disrupt the masticatory performance. However, these alterations were not correlated with a single measurement of stress-related biomarkers in saliva, suggesting that these solitary endocrine measurements are not adequate to predict the temporary pain and masticatory limitation experimented by patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Beh çet's disease: minireview with emphasis on oral aspects.
Behçet's disease: minireview with emphasis on oral aspects. Minerva Stomatol. 2018 Jun 14;: Authors: Giannetti L, Murri Dello Diago A, Lo Muzio L Abstract Adamantiades-Behçet disease is a primary systemic vasculitis of unknown origin, that may involve blood vessels of all sizes. The clinical hall-mark of Behçet Disease (BD) is oral aphtosis, which is often associated with genital aphtae and a variety of skin lesions. Less common manifestations of BD include thrombophlebitis, central nervous system and ocular inflammation which, however, may impact significant morbidity and mort...
