Summary: This study compared full-arch screw-retained implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FSI-FDPs) and full-arch telescopic-retained implant-supported fixed dental prostheses with a professional retrieval system (FTI-FDPs) on marginal bone loss (MBL), the risk indicators, and peri-implantitis rate after 7-13 years. The results showed that FSI-FDP and FTI-FDP implants exhibited comparable MBL, but the risk of MBL >= 1 mm in FTI-FDPs was lower. Implant-abutment connection was identified as the risk indicator of MBL >= 1 mm. In terms of peri-implantitis rate, FSI-FDPs and FTI-FDPs behaved similarly.

Summary: Through analyzing 13 studies, results showed that the survival rate of fixed mandibular 3-implant retained prostheses was 95.43%, with an average prosthesis survival rate of 89.66% and a mean marginal bone loss of 1.09mm. The study suggests that the implant and prosthetic survival rates of this type of prosthesis are similar to those of full-arch mandibular prostheses retained by four or more implants. Further research is needed to explore the topic.

Summary: The purpose of this systematic review was to review and classify the techniques for locating the screw access hole in cement-retained implant-supported prostheses. Different techniques were classified and a classification was proposed to help decide the most suitable technique for each specific clinical situation. The proposed classification summarizes precementation and postcementation techniques and indicates that certain techniques can increase the retrievability of cement-retained implant-supported prostheses and reduce complications related to the screw access hole location.

Summary: Oral commensal microorganisms have important impacts on the overall health of the host, but they can also contribute to the development of oral and systemic diseases. The colonization of bacteria, fungi, and viruses on removable and fixed prostheses can lead to pathogenic conditions. Inadequate oral hygiene of denture wearers promotes oral dysbiosis and the transition of microorganisms from commensal to pathogens. Hence, it is crucial to maintain daily hygiene of prosthetic products, design prostheses to facilitate home oral hygiene, and use products that reduce plaque accumulation and oral dysbiosis.

Summary: The study evaluated the performance and fracture load of resin anterior implant-supported interim fixed partial dentures (IFPDs), finding that these interim materials are sufficiently fracture resistant for the fabrication of implant-supported anterior IFPDs, expected to survive between 6 months and 2 years before failure. The stability of IFPDs depended on the type of material but not on the restoration design.

Summary: Un-functionalized NPs exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against E. faecalis biofilms, reducing biovolume and increasing the percentage of dead/injured cells. Doxycycline-loaded NPs showed the highest inhibition of biofilm formation, with reduced biofilm biovolume and a high percentage of dead/injured bacterial cells. The un-functionalized NPs did not reduce biomass growth but had the highest percentage of compromised cells, capable of disrupting biofilm formation.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the role of zinc-doped cements in promoting dentin remineralization through a literature review, finding that zinc enhances the bioactivity and mineralization of dentin, leading to increased hardness and resistance to deformation. Oxipatite-based cements mechanically reinforce dentin structure, promoting remineralization, but also result in high solubility and instability due to the formation of immature crystallites.

Summary: The study compared the bacteria debridement efficacy of the first and second generations of sonic root canal irrigant activation systems. The results showed that activation of 2% NaOCl with either EndoActivator or SmartLite Pro EndoActivator significantly reduced the overall intracanal bacterial load compared to syringe-side-vented needle delivery. However, delivering 2% NaOCl for 5 minutes using the syringe-side-vented needle produced better bacteria debridement than either sonic agitation system.

Summary: The study compares the experience of patients seen using teledentistry with traditional Orofacial Pain and TMD visits. Results indicated a borderline difference in effectively using teledentistry for follow-ups among different age groups, but no significant differences were found in patients' experience between virtual and conventional visits. This suggests that high-quality dental care services can be provided remotely without adversely affecting patient experience or quality of care.
