Effects of post drill specification, preparation depth and adjacent tooth status on the scanning trueness of post space: an in vitro study
Abstract Background The indication for direct intraoral scanning of post spaces should be guided by the post drill. This study evaluated the influence of drill specifications, preparation depth, and the presence or absence of bilateral adjacent teeth on the scanning...
Enhanced odontoblast regeneration and anti-inflammatory effects of nanocurcumin-loaded BM-MSC-derived exosomes in an LPS-induced periodontitis rat model
Abstract Background Periodontitis is commonly known as a chronic inflammatory disease which adversely affects pulpal and periodontal tissues, including odontoblasts. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (BM-MSC-Exo) and nanocurcumin (NCUR) possess anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties; however, their combined effects on...
Clinical evaluation of fixed prosthetic restorations requiring replacement and associated patient- and restoration-related factors: a cross-sectional study
Abstract Background Fixed prosthetic restorations may deteriorate through biological, mechanical, and patient-related factors. This study described the clinical condition of fixed prosthetic restorations presenting for replacement, and examined the patient-, restoration-, and clinician-related factors associated with their clinical acceptability, using...
