Oral manifestations in women using hormonal contraceptive methods: a systematic review
ConclusionsHormonal contraceptives may increase the risk of alveolar osteitis following tooth extraction and increase the presence of the Candida species in the oral cavity. They also affect the periodontium, such as the frequent development of gingivitis, but do not lead to changes in the salivary microbiome.Clinical relevanceThe increasing number of women using hormonal contraceptives and the knowledge that these contraceptives can produce oral cavity alterations underscore the need to evaluate the oral manifestations found in these women.

Evaluation of bone contact area and intercondylar distance changes in orthognathic surgery - a comparison between BSSO and HSSO technique depending on mandibular displacement extent
ConclusionsCompared to the virtual planning, the predictability regarding BCA and ICD was limited. ICD showed smaller clinical changes, BCA decreased significantly in the BSSO group.Clinical relevanceBCA and ICD might have been less important in choosing the suitable split technique. in orthognathic surgery.

A novel deep learning-based perspective for tooth numbering and caries detection
ConclusionsThe proposed model exhibited good achievement, highlighting the potential use of CNNs for tooth detection, numbering, and caries detection, concurrently.Clinical significanceCNNs can provide valuable support to clinicians by automating the detection and numbering of teeth, as well as the detection of caries on bitewing radiographs. By enhancing overall performance, these algorithms have the capacity to efficiently save time and play a significant role in the assessment process. (Source: Clinical Oral Investigations)

Efficacy of acellular xenogeneic dermal matrix graft in the treatment of multiple gingival recessions: systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsCTG is more effective than AXDM in treating multiple gingival recessions. This is evidenced by significant reductions in gingival recession height and width, a higher mean percentage of root coverage, and a greater percentage of complete root coverage at the 6-month follow-up.Clinical relevanceIn some clinical situations an alternative to CTG is required for the treatment of multiple gingival recessions. AXDM, despite presenting clinical outcomes that are not as satisfactory as CTG, can be used for this purpose. (Source: Clinical Oral Investigations)

The efficacy of 2780 nm Er,Cr;YSGG and 940 nm Diode Laser in root canal disinfection: A randomized clinical trial
ConclusionsIn this study we evaluated in vivo the bactericidal efficacy of three disinfection protocols for endodontic treatment of single-rooted teeth with apical periodontitis. The results indicated that both dual laser Er,CrYSGG/Diode and combined laser EDTA/Diode groups provide superior bactericidal effect compared to the conventional NaOCl/EDTA group.Clinical relevanceThe integration of lasers into root canal disinfection protocols has demonstrated significant bacterial reduction which might promote healing and long-term success.

Is it possible to extract primary maxillary molars without palatal injection?: a controlled clinical trial
ConclusionsWhile the pain reported following administration of anesthesia was found to be higher in the groups receiving palatal anesthesia, no difference was found between the groups in the pain reported after tooth extraction.Clinical relevanceExtraction of maxillary primary molars is possible without palatal injection by injecting 4% articaine or 2% lidocaine into the buccal vestibule of the tooth with a waiting time of 5 or 8 min.

Does surface enamel composition and characteristics vary with inter proximal enamel reduction?
ConclusionsOn analyzing the surface characteristics of enamel using SEM between the stripped and unstripped surfaces, there were irregularities and roughness seen in stripped surface whereas honey comb pattern was observed in unstripped enamel surfaces. The elements found in unstripped and stripped enamel surfaces were calcium, phosphorous, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen. Although the calcium and phosphorus were high in the 0.5 mm IPR group, the difference between stripped and unstripped enamel surfaces was statistically not significant.Clinical relevanceThere have been concerns that IPR can remove the superficial mineral-...

Clinical outcomes of endodontic microsurgery in complicated cases with large or through-and-through lesions: a retrospective longitudinal study
ConclusionsEndodontic microsurgery demonstrates satisfactory outcomes in complicated cases, maintaining a stable success rate after two years. However, tooth survival and surgery success are significantly compromised when apicoectomy involves four teeth. Factors such as guided tissue regeneration, an open apex, and the palatal surgical approach are associated with an increased risk of tooth extraction.Clinical relevanceDespite achieving acceptable outcomes in complicated cases, endodontic microsurgery is adversely affected by the apicoectomy of four teeth.

The impact of craniofacial and dental osteogenesis imperfecta manifestations on oral health-related quality of life of children and adolescents
Conclusions: The study demonstrated that the perception of OHRQoL is similar for both adolescents and children. The oral symptom was the most relevant domain for the index among patients aged eight to fourteen years while the emotional well-being was the most impacted. Clinical Relevance : this study makes contributions by indicating that addressing dental care for children and adolescents with OI is important in clinical management and better OHRQoL for this population.

Low and high hydrogen peroxide concentrations of in-office dental bleaching associated with violet light: an in vitro study
ConclusionsUsing violet light in conjunction with 6% or 35% HP does not alter the physical properties of the bleaching agents, the penetration of HP or enhance color change. However, an increase in temperature was observed when violet light was applied associated with bleaching gels.Clinical relevanceWhile the simultaneous use of violet light with hydrogen peroxide 6% or 35% does not alter the material's properties, it also does not bring benefits in reducing hydrogen peroxide penetration and improving color change. Furthermore, the use of violet light increases pulp temperature. (Source: Clinical Oral Investigations)
