Efficacy of platelet ‑rich fibrin in papilla reconstruction: A systematic review and meta‑analysis
This systematic review and meta ‑analysis aimed to compare the efficacy of using platelet‑richfibrin (PRF) or connective tissue graft (CTG) for papilla reconstruction in the treatment of blacktriangles. A comprehensive electronic search across PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, ProQuest,and Scopus was conducted to identify the relevant randomized ‑controlled trials (RCTs), cohortstudies, and case series. Quality assessment and meta ‑analysis were performed using R StatisticalSoftware, focusing on the parameters such as papilla height, gingival index, plaque index (PI), clinicalattachment level (CAL), and pocket prob...

A comparative finite element analysis of titanium, poly-ether-etherketone, and zirconia abutment on stress distribution around maxillary anterior implants
Conclusion: PEEK, zirconia, and titanium as abutment material in the anterior region showedsimilar properties. The stress on the bone was proportionately increased during the vertical andoblique loads suggesting the influence of mechanical load in crestal bone loss rather than the typeof abutment material.Key Words: Bone density, dental implant ‑abutment, dental implants, dental stress analyses, poly‑ether‑ether ketone, single tooth HighlightAngel Elias: Pubmed,Google Scholar (Source: Dental Research Journal)

Comparison between three methods of diode laser 810 nm, photodynamic therapy with laser 660 nm, and hypochlorite solution for disinfection of pulp canal of primary teeth
Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, to compare three disinfection methods of thedeciduous teeth canals without preparation of canals, sodium hypochlorite had greater efficiencyAll three groups of laser, photodynamic therapy, and sodium hypochlorite showed reductions ofE. faecalis bacterial colony compared to the control group. The reductive effects of CFU weregreater in the hypochlorite sodium group, followed by photodynamic and direct laser radiationgroups.Key Words:Enterococcus faecalis, low-level light therapy, methylene blue, photodynamictherapy, sodium hypochlorite (Source: Dental Research Journal)

Relationship between periodontal disease and obstructive sleep apnea in adults: A systematic review
The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate whether there are scientific evidence regardingthe association between periodontitis and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults. An electronicsearch was performed on MEDLINE/PubMed for prospective and retrospective longitudinal studies,cohort studies, and case –control studies conducted in human adults affected by both OSA andperiodontitis. Two reviewers extracted the data using a custom Excel spreadsheet. A methodologicalassessment of the quality of the studies was performed using the Newcastle –Ottawa Scale. Fourteenstudies were included. All studies evaluated th...

Effect of 4-META on microtensile bond strength of cements to ceramics
Conclusion: According to the results of this pilot study, the addition of 4 ‑META (10%) to silanecaused a significant improvement in μTBS to light‑cure cement. The addition of 4‑META in allconcentrations significantly improved the μTBS to Enamic ceramic in the use of dual‑cure cement;however, it had no significant effect on μTBS of Celtra Duo. Nonetheless, the results should beinterpreted with caution due to the relatively small sample size.Key Words: Ceramics, resin cements, silanes, tensile strength (Source: Dental Research Journal)
