The Effect of the Bass Intrasulcular Toothbrushing Technique on the Reduction of Gingival Inflammation: A Randomized Clinical Trial
ConclusionsWithin the limitations of this randomized controlled clinical trial, the BIT used by participants in the BT group was significantly more effective in reducing gingival inflammation as determined by BoP than the techniques used by participants who had no instructions on brushing techniques; at 12 weeks, the BT group experienced less toothbrush deformation than the control group.Clinical RelevanceBIT should be recommended particularly to patients exhibiting BoP and periodontal diseases.

Are Technology-Based Interventions Effective in Reducing Dental Anxiety in Children and Adults? A Systematic Review
ConclusionsA limited number of studies supported the effectiveness of technology-based interventions in the treatment of dental anxiety in children and adults.Clinical significanceThe quality of the methods of studies on the effects of technology-based interventions allows only limited inferences on the effects of these interventions. However, within the limitations of the systematic review, the results converge to suggest that technology-based interventions may be useful as an adjunct to standard dental care. High-quality RCTs are needed to determine the (relative) effectiveness of these interventions.PROSPERO registratio...

The clinical efficacy of subgingival debridement by ultrasonic instrumentation compared with subgingival air polishing during periodontal maintenance: a systematic review
ConclusionIt remains inconclusive that the clinical efficacy of SubGAP compare to UD for periodontal maintenance on account of limited evidence. To date, neither SubGAP or UD showed superior clinical effect when put in comparison. High-quality, well-designed clinical studies are still needed to ascertain the long-term clinical stability.
