Evaluation of the Effect of Implants Placed in Preserved Sockets Versus Fresh Sockets on Tissue Preservation and Esthetics: A Meta-analysis and Systematic Review
ConclusionAn alveolar bone defect might reduce the success rate of IIP. Further studies on the tissue preservation and esthetics of implants placed by IIP and ARP are still needed. (Source: Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice)

In Vivo and In Vitro Comparison of Internal and Marginal Fit of Digital and Conventional Impressions for Full-Coverage Fixed Restorations: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
ConclusionsDifferences in marginal adaptation between the digital and conventional groups are not significant for in vivo studies, but for in vitro studies, the digital impression resulted in better marginal adaptation. Based on the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach for marginal adaptation, clinical studies were classified as high confidence and in vitro studies were graded moderate because of the inconsistency. Furthermore, high-quality studies are needed to confirm our results (the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews; CRD42017077925). (Source: Journal of...

Community water fluoridation benefits US children from poor families more than those from more affluent families
ConclusionsThe authors stated: “To our knowledge, this is the first US study to show evidence that water fluoridation attenuates income-related inequalities in dental caries. The degree of attenuation was less pronounced in the permanent dentition, possibly because the level of decay was about half that of primary teeth. Greater attenuation in the permanent dentition might be seen in early adulthood, as the burden of DMFS doubles between adolescence and early adulthood.” They also state: “The current findings provide additional support for water fluoridation as a means toward the Healthy People 2020 goals of achievin...

Laser therapy as an adjunct treatment for peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis provides no extra benefit for most clinical outcomes
ConclusionsBased on the meta-analysis of only 2 studies, the BOP reduction in the short term was more significant in the laser group. No statistical difference was evident, however, between the control and test groups when the other clinical endpoints were assessed in non-surgical and surgical comparisons.

Children in mainly fluoridated US counties have less tooth decay
ConclusionsThe authors stated that when considered at the level of an individual, these effect estimates represent clinical benefits that are either small (1.3 fewer dfs per child) or negligible (0.3 fewer DMFS per child). However, caries experience indices are more meaningfully interpreted for groups, just as clinical trials report number needed to treat. For example, effect estimates from this study translate as 13 fewer primary tooth surfaces and 3 fewer permanent tooth surfaces developing caries for every 10 children who gain access to CWF. The potential public health benefit is substantial in the United States, where ...

The application of fluoride varnish and brushing with 1450 ppm fluoride toothpaste, in addition to receiving evidence-based preventive advice, do not significantly reduce the conversion from caries-free into caries-active in 2- to 3-year-old children
ConclusionsThe authors concluded that the results from this randomized clinical trial failed to demonstrate that the intervention used in this study would prevent children from developing dental caries lesions into dentin when compared to standardized dental health care advice. However, they found that the intervention was able to slow down the progression of dental caries once it had started. (Source: Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice)
