Aim was to determine the association between malocclusion and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and to test and modify the conceptual model of perceived oral health for malocclusion patients. Two different ...

Reconstruction of defects in the craniomaxillofacial (CMF) area has mainly been based on bone grafts or metallic fixing plates and screws. Particularly in the case of large calvarial and/or craniofacial defects caused by ...

Periodontitis is an infection-driven inflammatory disease affecting tooth-supporting tissues, i.e., the periodontium. Whole saliva, an easily obtained specimen, is attractive to be used in diagnosis of periodontitis ...

Metallic implants have remained the state of the art for skeletal reconstruction for over a hundred years. However, the excessive stiffness of metallic implants can lead to unphysiological direct bone healing and bone ...

The enzymatic degradation of demineralized dentin matrices (DDM) is a challenge in the longevity of adhesive restorations. The activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and cysteine cathepsins (CCs) was shown to be ...

Proteolytic degradation of demineralized dentin occurs due to the catalytic activity of dentin matrix-bound matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and cysteine cathepsins (CCs). This degradation process takes role in the progression ...

Advancements in dental adhesive technology have revolutionized dental treatments, invariably increasing the number and indications of restorative treatment options. Considering current techniques to bond to tooth tissue, ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the varying width and structure of the neonatal line (NNL) and the occurrence of other accentuated lines (ALs) and their association with known early life events. The NNL was ...

This study evaluated global oral health policy integration, interdisciplinary practices, and the effectiveness of an educational intervention among healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia. In phase I, data was collected from ...

Monolithic partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) is commonly used in restorative dentistry for its strength, wear resistance, esthetics, and biocompatibility. However, the effects of thermo-mechanical fatiguing and chairside ...
