The association between anxiety levels and postoperative pain following endodontic treatment: a prospective observational study
Abstract Background The aim of this study is to investigate the association between preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain after endodontic treatment in vital symptomatic mandibular molar teeth. Methods 132 patients who came for endodontic treatment of symptomatic molars were asked...
The effect of anterior bite turbos on pulpal blood flow and mobility of the lower central incisors and pain perception
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the biological response of mandibular central incisors to anterior bite turbos (ABTs) during fixed orthodontic treatment, focusing on pulpal blood flow (PBF), tooth mobility, and pain perception. Materials and Methods Fifty-five patients undergoing fixed appliance therapy...
Contributions of anterior and posterior components of cranial flexure on skeletal classification: a cone-beam computed tomography study
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the relationship between skeletal classification and the anterior and posterior components of cranial base flexure and glenoid fossa position. Materials and Methods Pretreatment cone-beam computed tomography records of 420 patients were stratified by sex, age, and...
Sliding osteotomy for reconstruction of short post-gunshot mandibular defects < 2 cm: a prospective case series and narrative literature review
Abstract Background Reconstruction of short mandibular defects (< 2 cm) remains controversial, as these defects lie within a clinical “gray zone” between spontaneous healing and the need for surgical intervention. In cases of compromised soft tissues, particularly following gunshot injuries,...
Immediate implant placement in Type II socket using vestibular socket therapy with pericardial membrane versus simultaneous guided bone regeneration (randomized controlled clinical trial)
Abstract Introduction Immediate implant placement with flap elevation and guided bone regeneration in Type II sockets often leads to midfacial gingival recession and compromised esthetics. To address these limitations, vestibular socket therapy (VST) has been proposed as an alternative technique....
