The effect of the interproximal creeping attachment in aesthetic site after root coverage surgery with VISTA technique - A case report
Tiago M Marques, Nuno B M. Santos, Javier Montero, André Correia, Gustavo V O. FernandesIndian Journal of Dental Research 2023 34(1):90-93 Gingival recession is a common manifestation in most populations. The mechanism by which gingival recession occurs is not well understood, but it seems to be complex and multifactorial. The main etiological factors are the accumulation of dental plaque biofilm with the resulting inflammatory periodontal diseases and mechanical trauma due to faulty oral hygiene techniques, especially in thin biotypes. This case report describes the treatment of a vestibular recession associa...

The impact of climate change on paediatric dentistry
Sonu AcharyaIndian Journal of Dental Research 2023 34(1):87-89 The effects of global warming and climate change are happening at a faster rate than expected, and they are going to get worse. Global climate change has already started to show the effects on environment—fast melting glaciers, accelerated sea level rise and base shifting of native flora and fauna. There has been an increase in temperature globally with a few countries already showing intense heat waves and extreme cold temperatures. The interrelation between dentistry, environmental impact and human health is still in its nascent stage, but studi...

An insight performance of zirconia implant abutment: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled clinical trial
Vrushali Thakare, Sachin Chaware, Vinay Kakatkar, Abhishek DarekarIndian Journal of Dental Research 2023 34(1):80-86 To determine the clinical performance of zirconia abutment (ZA) by comparing with a titanium abutment (TA) and sub-mucosal-modified zirconia abutment. A systematic search was conducted to retrieve eligible randomised controlled trials (RCTs) from Medline, Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. A search was further divided in two parts. Part I comprises eligible RCTs between zirconia abutment and titanium abutment, and part II included RCTs of zirconia abutment with sub-mucosal...

Comparison of fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth using four different commercially available apexification materials - An in vitro study
Conclusions: Biodentine can be advocated over MTA as an effective material for the management of teeth with wide open apex. Bioactive glass also has shown promising results in increasing the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth. (Source: Indian Journal of Dental Research)

Effect of aging and thermocycling on flexural strength of PEEK as a provisional restoration for full mouth rehabilitation & #8211; An In vitro study
Conclusion: The mean flexural strength of PEEK was statistically significant than the other two materials tested and hence can be recommended for use as a provisional restorative material for long span situations in full mouth rehabilitation. However, the mean flexural strength of PEEK reduced approximately by 44% when subjected to further aging. (Source: Indian Journal of Dental Research)

Socioeconomic determinants of demand for dental cosmetic treatments
Conclusion: Type of job, education level, and marital status had no significant relationship with the choice of cosmetic treatment while age had a significant relationship with the choice of cosmetic dental restoration treatment. In addition, the choice of cosmetic dental treatment was completely related to gender, and women were the main users of it. (Source: Indian Journal of Dental Research)

Magnetic resonance imaging assessment of articular disc position in temporomandibular disorder subjects with various bite registrations
Conclusions: Favourable articular disc positional changes were observed in the Roth power centric bite followed by the initial contact bite and that maximum disc recapture was observed in most patients with the Roth power centric bite rather than in initial contact bite and maximum intercuspation positions. The Roth power centric bite could be assumed to be the ideal method for articulation and fabrication of gnathological splints for treating patients with temporomandibular disorders.

Prevalence and determinants of (work-related) musculoskeletal disorders among dentists - A cross sectional evaluative study
Conclusions: The prevalence of both MSDs and WMSDs was found to be high. Dentists with higher BMI, higher qualifications, lack of breaks, having poor workstations and higher REBA and QEC scores, whose job tasks involve continuous inspection, frequent bending of elbow joints, frequent repetitive motions, tasks that require them to reach distances greater than 20 inches and tasks that involve twisting of the waist are at a higher risk of developing MSDs.
