Summary: This study aimed to examine the immediate and delayed effects of kinesio taping at different stretches on tuck jump performance in active individuals. However, the results showed no improvement in tuck jump performance after the application of kinesio taping, regardless of the stretch level. There were no significant differences in tuck jump performance between the different kinesio taping groups at any time point.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to explore patterns of pre-operative pain and test for the relationship between symptom patterns (such as pain intensity, tooth location, and referred pain area) and third molar extraction surgery. A retrospective observational study was conducted on 86 patients, and a significant correlation was found between pain score and pain area. The study concludes that pain intensity plays a role in determining the orofacial distribution of pain.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of latex and calcium-sodium alginate mouth flat drains on postoperative complications after surgical removal of mandibular third molars. Results showed that intraoral drainage with a flat drain did not significantly reduce pain or swelling, while latex drains did not significantly reduce trismus and calcium-sodium alginate drains increased trismus.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether the knowledge and experience acquired by dentists with different levels of training influenced the perceived difficulty of mandibular third molar extraction. The results showed that dentists with postgraduate training in oral surgery considered patient-related factors more important than operative factors, while those without surgical training perceived the surgery as more difficult.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the influence of orthodontic mini-implant thread design on its stability. The results showed that the thread pitch of mini-implants is crucial for their retention and stability. A denser thread pitch leads to better stability. However, the depth of the thread has minimal impact on the stability of mini-implants. Additionally, there is no clear scientific evidence for the optimal thread shape factor.

Summary: This study investigates the reasons for marginal bone loss (MBL) after dental implant insertion without loading, finding that torque value during implant insertion and procedure location are related to MBL. Through analyzing texture features, some potential indicators of MBL in digital dental surgery were also discovered.

Summary: Compound odontoma is a common malformation in young adults, with a male predominance and a preference for the anterior region of the maxilla. It is usually asymptomatic and can be detected through radiological investigation in connection with the persistence of deciduous dental elements and the impaction of permanent teeth. Excisional surgery is the preferred treatment method with rare recurrence. Orthodontic therapy is typically not necessary due to the small size of odontomas, which are localized lesions similar in size to permanent teeth.

Summary: There are interrelationships between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and periodontitis pathophysiology, with similar risk factors. Patients on hemodialysis (HD) due to CKD are more susceptible to oral mucosal pathology. This study aimed to evaluate the oral cavity condition of end-stage renal disease patients in Poland and found a higher prevalence of oral lesions in the HD group compared to the control group. The most common symptoms reported by HD patients were xerostomia, taste disorders, and burning mouth.

Summary: No attempts have been made to legally classify dental impressions, plaster models, and intraoral scanning. This study aims to determine the extent to which the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to 3D intraoral scans and plaster models and establish their legal protection in the context of personal data safety. The authors analyze international legal acts, particularly GDPR, to guide the deliberations on legal protection.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to assess the value of perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) in differentiating sellar and parasellar tumors using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Analysis of 124 brain and pituitary MRI examinations showed that meningiomas had significantly higher values of relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) compared to non-functional and hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas (PitNET). Additionally, meningiomas showed higher relative peak height (rPH) values compared to adenomas. DSC PWI imaging adds significant value to conventional MRI examinations and can aid in differentiating equivocal pituitary tumors.

Summary: This study analyzed the available evidence on caries experience and molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) in children. The results showed a positive correlation between MIH and dental caries. It is important to diagnose MIH correctly and on time, and treatment options should consider known risk factors.

Summary: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are biological products derived from autologous blood with high platelet concentration. They contain cytokines and growth factors, which have gained attention in dentistry. This review examines the latest scientific evidence on the use of PRF and PRP in oral surgery and describes current operational protocols. Promising results have been shown for the usage of PRF-PRP in oral surgery, but consistent protocols are lacking, highlighting the need for further research.

Summary: Effective brushing is crucial for oral health, and the development of new materials and devices has led to the need for modern brushing simulation models. This study presents the development of a novel computational model that can estimate the forces exchanged between toothbrush bristles and the tooth surface through numerical simulations. The model has been verified and proven reliable through experimental results.

Summary: Recent research has shown that genetic factors play a significant role in the positioning and eruption of teeth in the maxilla and mandible. This study aimed to determine the predisposition to tooth impaction by evaluating specific polymorphic markers of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the PAX9, MSX1, AXIN2, and IRF6 genes. The findings suggest that genetic variations in these genes, which are involved in tooth and periodontal tissue development, may be significant factors contributing to tooth impaction.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of smoking on the peri-implant jawbone corticalization phenomenon. The research found that smoking leads to marginal bone loss, which affects the success rate and bone structure of dental implants. The Corticalization Index of bone structure near the implant can be used as an indicator of the implant success rate.

The results demonstrate the accuracy of estimating the forces exerted by the bristles and evaluating their displacement during toothbrush motion. The suggested model could guide holistic toothbrush design and improve cleaning effectiveness.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the activity of ozonated water alone and in combination with appropriate light radiation in photodynamic treatment (PDT) against the cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans. The UV-Vis absorption spectrum of the ozonated water was evaluated to determine the appropriate light wavelength. The results showed that a concentration of ozone of 0.06 mg/L had the most effective antibiofilm activity against this microorganism when used alone or with PDT treatment. These findings provide encouraging evidence for further research and in vitro/in vivo experimental investigations for a comprehensive antimicrobial treatment protocol against S. mutans tooth infection.
