Clear aligner treatment among patients with compromised periodontal tissue
Published:October 28, 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1053/j.sodo.2023.10.003 AbstractThe aesthetic advances associated with clear aligner therapy (CAT) encourage the adult

Prosthetic complications and failures of implant-supported fixed partial dentures: A scoping review
ConclusionsBruxism, mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficient, unsatisfactory support of
the framework, choice of cement, shape of the titanium abutments, and extended length
of the cantilever were associated with the longevity of the ISFPD. Despite the high
survival rate of ISFPDs, data must be carefully interpreted because of the variation
in the materials used to manufacture the ISFPD and the heterogeneity of the studies
in this review. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)

Dental patients prescribed far fewer opioid painkillers today, but pandemic slowed decline greatly
ANN ARBOR —Americans who have a tooth pulled or another painful dental procedure in the United States today are far less likely to get opioid painkillers than they were just a few years ago, a University of Michigan study shows. That ' s good news, since research shows that opioids are not necessary for most dental procedures.

Extraction vs nonextraction orthodontic treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions:
Four first premolar extraction results in maxillary and mandibular
inter-first molar width decrease and retraction of upper/lower lips.
Nonextraction treatment results in mandibular intercanine width increase
and shorter treatment duration. There was no significant difference
between the two groups regarding maxillary intercanine width, US PAR
score, and posttreatment smile esthetics. Further high-quality focused
research is recommended. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)
