Agreement of Digital Panoramic Radiographs with and without Software Enhancement in the ...
Conclusion: According to the results, digital panoramic imaging system was as accurate as bitewing radiography in the diagnosis of proximal dental caries. However, using enhancement tools in panoramic radiography was not helpful in the diagnosis of caries.   (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)

Comparison of the Effect of Two Oral Hygiene Education Approaches on the Gingival Health and ...
Conclusion: Due to the significant decline in all three indices of the peer-led group compared to the other two groups, using talented students as“oral and dental health assistants” may be an effective approach for promotion of oral and dental hygiene among teenagers. However, there is aneed to conduct more research in this field of study.  (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)

Cone Beam CT Evaluation of the Bony Changes in the Temporomandibular Joint and the Association ...
Conclusion: According to the results, flattening was the most common bone change in the patients with TMD. In addition, sclerosis had the most significant association with pain, while sclerosis, osteophytes, and erosion were significantly correlated with joint crepitation.   (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)

Processing Capability of Apatite-Mullite Glass-Ceramic Materials for the Production of Dental ...
Conclusion: The materials tested show great possibility as restorative materials and could be heat treated inside and outside the investment casting material to produce a crystalline microstructure of apatite and apatite-mullite. It is possible to produce acceptable restorations using the milling technique. Hot pressing the material is not recommended due to its high liquidus temperature.

Effects of Various Chairside Surface Treatments on Zirconia-Resin Cement Bond Strength
Conclusion: According to the results, grinding and sandblasting were both effective in chairside surface treatments for improving the bond strength of the resin cement to Y-TZP. However, it should be considered that sandblasting may cause phase transformation.   (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)

The Prosthetic Rehabilitation of Phthisis Bulbi Using Semi-customized Ocular Prosthesis: A ...
Mutilation in the facial region may significantly affect the self-image and personality of individuals. Prosthetic rehabilitation of facial defects could increase the quality of life, thereby encouraging the patients to build up their self-confidence to return to normal social life. Acceptable cosmetic results are often obtained through facial prosthesis. Recovery after the loss of an eye requires proper adjustment to monocular vision and the improvement of appearance with an artificial eye, which is meticulously prepared to match the remaining natural eye. The present study aimed to demonstrate a technique for the fabrica...

Using Absorbable Gelatin Sponge to Facilitate Sinus Membrane Elevation during Open Sinus Lift: ...
Ridge atrophy accompanied by the pneumatization of maxillary sinus in the maxillary posterior region may lead to inadequate bone height, thereby precluding implant placement. Therefore, it may be mandatory to perform a sinus membrane elevation procedure and augmentation in the bone. The present study aimed to introduce a novel modification method for sinus floor elevation using a gelatin sponge (Gelatamp, COLTÈNE ROEKO, India) in order for better visualization, hemostasis, and conservative maxillary sinus membrane dissection with the low risk of complications. Implant placement was performed in a case series of 28 p...

Comparative Evaluation of the Fluoride Recharge Ability of Two Glass Ionomers Obtained from ...
Conclusion: According to the results, light-cured, resin-reinforced glass ionomers could release significantly higher levels of fluoride compared to EQUIA Forte. Moreover, the fluoride rerelease was higher by the GICs when recharged with fluoridated dentifrice compared to the MI Paste Plus.   (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)

Lip Leishmaniasis with Oral-mucosal Involvement: A Case Report
Conclusion: Oral mucosal leishmaniasis is rare. However, the swelling may cause different complications like loss of teeth or respiratory obstruction. It should be noted that time is a key point in treatment.  So, it is necessary for us to train the differential diagnosis of chronic ulcerated oral lesions to our dentists.   (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)

A 62-year-old Man with Chondroblastic Osteosarcoma of Maxilla: A Rare Case
     Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignant tumor that induces formation of osteoid or immature bone and rarely occurs in maxilla. Maxillofacial OSs are reported to occur in the third to fifth decades that is 1-2 decades later than the mean age for OS of long bones. The present case is a 62-year-old man with facial asymmetry and pain in his left upper jaw. Intraoral examination showed a bony hard, tender swelling about 50 x 60 mm in diameter in the maxillary alveolar ridge extending unilaterally from the maxillary incisor to the molar region which had expanded the buccal and palatal aspects of alveolar ridge....
