Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of short dental implants (TG) to longer implants (CG) with single crown restorations after 10 years. The results showed that the survival rates of TG and CG were 85.7% and 97.1%, respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups. The study concluded that short dental implants with single-crown restorations can be considered a valuable alternative, especially when vertical bone dimensions are limited.

Summary: In this study, it was found that interproximal implant thread exposure may be an independent risk indicator for peri-implantitis. Clinicians should closely monitor patients with implant threads that have no bone-to-implant contact for incident peri-implantitis.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of a partially exposed non-absorbable membrane (dPTFE) on clinical, tomographic, immunoenzymatic, implant-related, and patient-centered outcomes in Alveolar Ridge Preservation (ARP) procedures. The results showed that dPTFE was superior in increasing Keratinized Mucosa Width (KMW) gain, but it had similar bone loss compared to unassisted socket healing (USH) in the absence of bone graft.

Summary: This systematic review examined the effectiveness of autogenous dentin block grafts for alveolar ridge augmentation. Dentin blocks showed similar vertical bone gain and significantly higher width gain compared to bone blocks. The resorption rates and occurrence of complications were similar between the two groups. Autogenous dentin blocks could be a possible alternative to established bone augmentation techniques, but further studies are needed to confirm its efficacy.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the histological wound healing and alveolar ridge dimensional changes following ridge preservation using two different xenograft/collagen matrices. The results showed that Group B yielded significantly more vital bone over the healing period and the ridge dimension changes were similar between the two groups.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of specific periodontal phenotypical characteristics on alveolar ridge remodelling after tooth extraction. The results showed a marked dimensional reduction of the alveolar ridge over time, with greater bone loss and volume reduction in sites exhibiting a thin facial bone phenotype. Overall, alveolar ridge remodelling is a physiological phenomenon that occurs after tooth extraction.

Summary: This study compared the clinical and histological performance of autogenous tooth block (ATB) and autogenous bone block (ABB) grafts in lateral alveolar ridge augmentation (LARA). It found that ATB grafts resulted in greater bone width and less graft resorption compared to ABB grafts. There was no significant difference in postoperative complications, and ATB grafts showed positive replacement resorption with alveolar bone for favorable new bone activity signs on histology and histomorphometry.

Summary: This article compares the healing outcomes of ridge preservation using a combination allograft at 4 months and 12 months. The results show that longer healing time leads to more vital bone formation and less graft residue.

Summary: This retrospective study investigated the association between the amount of initial physiological bone remodeling (IPBR) during the first year of implant placement and the incidence of peri-implantitis as well as the pattern of progressive bone loss. The results showed no significant association between IPBR and peri-implantitis, but splinted implants had a higher marginal bone loss rate compared to non-splinted implants from T1 to T2.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical performance of a porcine dentin-derived bone graft material compared to a commercial bone-derived material for implant placement after tooth extraction. The dentin graft material showed significantly better new bone formation, bone-graft integration, and bone density compared to the bone-derived material. Both materials had similar clinical safety and tolerability.

Summary: The study suggests that post-extraction socket preservation using demineralized autologous tooth-derived biomaterial can generate new vital bone to support dental implant rehabilitation in maxilla edentulous patients. The overall implant survival rate was high with low rates of failure and post-operative complications observed in the patients.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of toothbrush bristles end configuration on abrasive dentine wear at different brushing forces. The results show that brushing with tapered-end bristles significantly reduces abrasive dentine wear compared to brushing with round-end bristles, regardless of the applied brushing force. This suggests that tapered-end toothbrushes may be a safer choice, especially for patients showing signs of non-carious cervical lesions.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of toothbrush tuft arrangement and bristle stiffness on abrasive dentin wear. The results showed that crossed tuft toothbrushes caused less wear compared to parallel tuft toothbrushes. Additionally, soft crossed tuft toothbrushes resulted in higher wear compared to medium crossed tuft toothbrushes. These findings can provide useful guidance for dentists and dental hygienists in advising patients.

Summary: The wear rates of hypselodont teeth in lagomorphs or rodents are higher compared to ungulates, possibly due to differences in enamel hardness. In this study, the hardness of enamel from cattle and nutria incisors was tested, and the susceptibility to enamel abrasion was assessed using different abrasives. The results showed that nutria enamel had lower hardness than cattle enamel and was more susceptible to abrasion when exposed to fine silt and volcanic ash.

Summary: This study compared different microbial methods to evaluate the properties of antimicrobial toothpaste and assessed the antibacterial efficacy of different toothpastes against various oral microorganisms in a laboratory setting. The results showed that toothpastes with amine fluoride and triclosan had the highest antimicrobial efficacy, while the addition of activated carbon had no significant effect on the antimicrobial action. Additionally, the selection of a wide range of oral microorganisms is crucial when testing the chemical impact of toothpaste and its supplements.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of abrasive slurries with different RDA values and increasing brushing forces on dentin wear. The results showed that the abrasivity of the slurry did not contribute to abrasive wear when the brushing force was kept at 1N. However, increasing the brushing force to 2N resulted in significantly higher abrasive wear, particularly with the use of a high abrasive slurry.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the wear of resin-based fissure sealants with different compositions properties under erosive, abrasive, and erosive/abrasive conditions. Results showed that sealants with higher filler content exhibited better wear resistance, while the addition of fluoride reduced the wear resistance of sealants at similar filler contents.

Summary: This research investigated the effect of simplified adhesive strategies on the marginal integrity in primary molars. The results showed that universal adhesives applied in selective enamel etch or self-etch mode resulted in comparable marginal integrities when restoring class-II cavities in primary molars. Shortening the adhesive application time could lead to a reduction in the marginal integrity.
