Orthodontic and surgical treatment patterns in hemifacial microsomia: a retrospective multi-institutional study in Japan
Hemifacial microsomia is a congenital craniofacial condition characterized by variable facial asymmetry and mandibular hypoplasia. Its management often requires long-term multidisciplinary care, including orthodontic and surgical treatment. However, multi-institutional data on treatment patterns remain limited. This study aimed to describe...
Dentinal tubule penetration of nanoparticle-incorporated calcium hydroxide as an intracanal medicament: a systematic review
Calcium hydroxide is widely used as an intracanal medicament due to its antimicrobial properties and its ability to neutralize bacterial by-products. However, its clinical efficacy may be compromised by poor penetration into dentinal tubules, especially in deeper dentin. Nanoparticle-incorporated calcium...
An in vitro study of a novel chitosan hydrogel blocking agent to prevent microbial leakage via abutment screws of dental implants
Microbial leakage at the implant–abutment–screw interface contributes to biological and mechanical complications in dental implant therapy. A novel chitosan hydrogel (Chitosan-Na 2 CO 3 , CS) against Candida albicans and Enterococcus faecalis to prevents microbial leakage at the implant-abutment interface...

Root canal morphometric indices of anterior teeth and their association with chronological age: a retrospective CBCT study in an Iranian population
Abstract Background This study examined the associations between root canal morphometric indices of anterior teeth and chronological age and evaluated their apparent model fit for age association analysis in an Iranian population using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods In this...
