The performance of two-implant overdentures in the atrophic maxilla: a case series with 1-year follow-up
Conclusions Within the limitations of this study, it can be concl uded that patients with extreme resorption of the maxilla that are unwilling to be treated with reconstructive surgery, benefit from two-implant maxillary overdentures retained by solitary attachments in terms of improved masticatory functioning and denture satisfaction. However, they have relativel y high risk of implant loss. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)

ABSTRACT Introduction Root resorption is a destructive process that compromises tooth structure and can result in tooth loss. Often it remains asymptomatic and is an incidental finding on radiographic examinations. The purpose of this study was to determine prevalence and characteristics of root resorption in patients referred for cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging for a variety of indications. Methods The study included CBCT scans of 1,086 consecutive patients referred for CBCT imaging over an 18-month period. A total of 1,148 scans were acquired. Data were abstracted from radiology reports, and prevalence estim...

Accuracy of Teledentistry for Diagnosis and Treatment Planning of Pediatric Patients during COVID-19 Pandemic
Int J Telemed Appl . 2022 Nov 19;2022:4147720. doi: 10.1155/2022/4147720. Abstract Teledentistry is a new technology in the dentistry field, which has great benefits during pandemic such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The overall purpose of the study was to assess the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of virtual (mobile phone teledentistry) compared with clinical examinations during COVID-19. The basic design of the study was based on the comparison treatment plans by the students and the gold standard (clinical treatment plan of an expert pedodontist with 10 years of clinical experience). This double-bl...

Comparison between flapless-guided and conventional surgery for implant placement: a 12-month randomized clinical trial
Research Published: 19 November 2022 Clinical Oral Investigations (2022)Cite this article Abstract Objectives The study was aimed at comparing implants installed with guided and conventional surgery. Material and methods Twenty-nine total edentulous patients were selected, and maxillary contralateral quadrants were randomly assigned to static computer-aided implant surgery (S-CAIS): flapless computer-guided surgery, and conventional surgery (CS): flap surgery with conventional planning. Tomography scans were performed at baseline and 10 days after the surgery for deviation measurement, and radiography was done at baseline ...
