Pulp vitality during ultrasonic tooth preparation.
CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasonic tools are very performing to achieve results in repositioning and polishing of prepared tooth. The in vitro analysis show that the pulp temperature increasing remains within the safe limits literature shows. It is important underline the polishing phase is the most critical and the clinicians have to pay attention to irrigation and pression to avoid pulp damages. Additional clinical studies have to be performed to confirm these results.

Long-term dentoskeletal changes of class II growing patients treatment with the PUL appliance. A prospective controlled study.
CONCLUSIONS: The PUL appliance successfully corrected class II malocclusion. The long term correction was mainly due to dentoalveolar effects: therapy success was 91% for overjet cor- rection and 76% for ANB correction. During the post functional appliance period, overjet was stable in 77% of the treated subjects, and ANB in 74% of the treated subjects.

Characterization of vascular density and collagenous matrix in oral pleomorphic adenomas.
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggested that the increased expression of CD31+ in cells associated with capillaries may be related to tumor neoangiogenesis. Furthermore, an increase in the concentration of collagen fibers proportional to the number of blood vessels in the neoplastic sections suggested the active role of these lesions in the remodeling process.

Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of undergraduate students concerning regenerative endodontics.
CONCLUSIONS: The undergraduates were very optimistic about the future of REPs, stem cell banking, and tissue engineering. Although seniors demonstrated less enthusiasm towards REPs than the freshman, most students are willing to recommend these treatments to their patients.

Relationship between the prevalence of soft tissue radiopacities on panoramic radiographs and medical conditions.
CONCLUSIONS: Soft tissue radiopacities can be a validated risk indicator of cardiovascular events or misdiagnosed pain. Dental practitioners must be aware of these atypical findings as they may be related to serious disease states and may require referral for further investigation.

Effect of neutralization and hydrofluoric acid precipitate remotion on the compressive strength of monolithic lithium disilicate crowns.
CONCLUSIONS: Surface treatments with neutralizing agent associated with the ultrasonic bath as the pre-cementation protocol was the most efficient protocol in eliminating the precipitate deposited on the porosities created by acid etching.

Dental occlusion and sport performance.
Authors: Militi A, Cicciù M, Sambataro S, Bocchieri S, Cervino G, De Stefano R, Fiorillo L
Abstract
In recent years, interest has been given to the relationship between dental occlusion and athletes' performance. A correct occlusion allows for a correct position of the mandible in space and could be reached by wearing a splint made by a dentist. Achieving this condition appears to be an advantage for all athletes, and especially for those who have TMJ dysfunction. The purpose of the study was to investigate the hypothesis and common belief that correcting the occlusion or the use of a splint could improve...

Temperatures generated during implant site preparation with conventional drilling versus single-drill method: an ex-vivo human mandible study.
CONCLUSIONS: In statistical terms, the two methods differ significantly in the temperature increase induced by the drilling procedure, but this difference is clinically irrelevant.

Primary stability of self-tapping dual etched implants.
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the mean ISQ achieved by the participants were comparable with the range reported for this particular type of implants. The patient's age and location of implants were elucidated as the determinant factors of primary implant stability.

Prophylactic extraction of non-impacted third molars: is it necessary?
CONCLUSIONS: Pathologies of the 3rd molars and teeth adjacent to 3rd molars can occur as a result of multiple factors. Caries and periodontal disease may also occur due to the inaccessibility to maintain oral hygiene. With a regular follow-up schedule, reinforced by the dentist and good oral hygiene, several pathologies that are significantly associated with non-impacted 3rd molars can be prevented and may not require prophylactic extraction.
