Summary: This study proposed a protocol for class-II preparations with demineralized gingival margins to improve restoration longevity. The decision tree protocol was developed based on evaluation of demineralized gingival margins characteristics, with further investigations needed for appropriate protocol updates.

Summary: This article introduces a featured application for better surgical planning of the mandibular angle region. It emphasizes the importance of evaluating every aesthetic detail of the face and points out the inadequacy of traditional modeling-based planning compared to CT reconstruction in predicting the mandibular angle region.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential benefits of using digital CAD/CAM technology and assisted training software in evaluating and improving student skills in preclinical and clinical settings. By analyzing 30 dental preparation models, it was found that the software could identify errors made by students during biomechanical preparation, with most preparations meeting specified parameters. The study highlights the advantages of digital technology in teaching.

Summary: Four different teaching strategies were assessed to improve first-year dental students' Class IV restoration proximal contact performance. The strategy that combined waxing exercises with live demonstrations resulted in the best pass/fail ratio, reducing critical errors significantly. This study highlights the benefits of traditional waxing exercises associated with instructor demonstrations as an effective teaching strategy for first-year dental students.

Summary: The study found that direct feedback from faculty staff is still preferred by dental students in tooth preparation examinations, despite no significant differences in performance between digital validation systems and traditional faculty feedback. Students tended to practice more with teachers than with digital systems.

Summary: A standard assumption in latent class analysis is that the items of the model are independent of the covariates given the latent classes. This study compares a likelihood ratio approach with residual statistics (bivariate residuals and expected parameter change statistics) for identifying nonuniform direct effects of covariates on the latent class model items. The results show that the likelihood ratio test performs better in identifying direct effects compared to the residual statistics, although it also has a higher false positive rate. The combined use of residual statistics and likelihood ratio testing is recommended in applied research.

Summary: Implant neck characteristics can affect initial implant stability, soft tissue healing, and early marginal bone loss. Screw-type rough-surface collar implants have poorer soft tissue healing and increased marginal bone loss compared to non-screw type implants at the time of second-stage surgery.

Summary: A software program was developed to assist dental students in access cavity preparation. The study aimed to investigate students' experiences with the new learning method and compare it with traditional teaching. The results showed that the software significantly improved students' access cavity preparation skills and their confidence in those skills.

Summary: This study investigated the physical activity levels of students in a standard fitness walking class and a service-learning dog walking class. The results showed that students in the service-learning fitness walking class were more engaged in physical activity compared to students in the standard fitness walking class.

Summary: This study evaluated the primary reconstruction of maxillary defects with fibula flap and dental implants assisted by virtual surgical planning (VSP) in oncological patients. The results showed that the VSP group had better anatomical position of the bone, higher bone apposition rate, lower change in vertical distance and horizontal shift, shorter ischemia and operative time compared to the standard surgery group.

Summary: Technology-enhanced learning and simulation-based learning are important pedagogic tools that can improve students' preclinical training and manual dexterity. This study evaluated the total occlusal convergence (TOC) angles of dental preparations made by third-year students at the Faculty of Dental Medicine of Casablanca on typodont and simulator. The majority of students achieved TOC angles within the recommended range, indicating satisfactory skill acquisition.

Summary: The prosthodontics preclinical training modules currently rely on textbook-based 2D images, limiting creativity and exposure to digital dentistry. This article presents a dental education technique using computer-aided design software and smartphones to allow 3D rendering of ideal prosthodontic training, providing early exposure to digital dentistry for dental students.
