Oroantral communication is the most common sequalae after extraction of maxillary posterior teeth. Moreover, management of this postoperative complication leads to some permanent side effect with poor prognosis due to donor site morbidity. Therefore, prevention of oroantral communication is better than management of this complication.

Ridge splitting has emerged as a significant advancement in dental implantology. It offers a less invasive and more predictable approach to expanding the alveolar ridge for optimal implant placement. The initial splitting technique of utilizing hand instruments was often associated with significant discomfort, swelling, and prolonged healing times. The introduction of piezoelectric surgery, electromagnetic mallet, Read more about The Evolution of Ridge Splitting: A Journey to Enhanced Implant Placement[…]

Despite the solid principles of ‘Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry’, there remain numerous challenges and questions regarding scientific validity of many of its protocols, which are often marketed as superior options to current adhesive dentistry, despite lacking strong scientific evidence to substantiate such claims. Therefore, this lecture aims to explore the origins of BRD and critically appraise Read more about Unmasking the Myths of Biomimetic Dentistry[…]

The clinical difficulty assessment system of RCT is established based on patient conditions, tooth conditions, root canal configuration, and root canal needing retreatment, and emphasizes pre-treatment risk assessment for optimal outcomes. The findings suggest that the presence of risk factors may correlate with the challenge of achieving the high standard required for RCT. These insights Read more about Challenges Assessment in Endodontics[…]

Reciproc-Blue was more efficient than XP-endo-R in retreatment teeth obturated-with single-cone-technique however XP-endo-R was more efficient than Reciproc-Blue in retreatment of teeth obturated-with warm-vertical compaction-technique. XP-endo-R may be used in retreatment small-size canals only, it may be more-effective rather than in medium-canals like this study although XP-endo-shaper can expand within canal, but maximum expansion reaches Read more about XP-endo R vs Reciporc blue in Retrievability of Bioceramic sealer[…]

Endodontic retreatment is a well-established procedure used to resolve persistent or recurrent infections in previously treated root canals. Selective retreatment refers to cases in which retreatment done to the diseased root only leaving the other healthy roots untouched. Our presentation reviews the indications, techniques, challenges, and outcomes of selective endodontic retreatment. Key factors influencing the Read more about Selective Retreatment in Endodontics[…]

The main goal of root canal treatment is to eliminate the infection in the complex root canal system for the long-term success of root canal treatment. Proper debridement of the root canal system, especially in the extra-canals and hidden canals, is essential for successful root canal treatment. Therefore, clinicians must have a thorough knowledge of Read more about The Complexity of The Root Canal Anatomy and Its Influence on Success/Failure of Endodontic Treatment[…]

Regeneration of the dentin/pulp complex is no longer considered a far-fetched dream. Since the term “regenerative endodontics” was coined in 2007, there have been numerous advancements propelling the field further. On the other hand, there are still numerous challenges such as achieving sufficient disinfection while maintaining stem cell viability as well as developing the right Read more about Regenerating the dentin/pulp complex; Are we getting closer to predictable clinical outcomes?[…]

Buccal bone is relatively thin and bone resorption after tooth extraction in buccal areas is faster. While preparing implant sites in narrow ridges, dehiscence or fenestration defects may occur frequently that threaten the survival of implants. Compared to the lingual bone, especially in the maxillary anterior region, buccal bony housing is thin; thus, bone resorption Read more about Dehiscence Around Dental Implants: Improving Prevention and Outcomes[…]

Currently minimally invasive approaches beside its high Patient acceptance, it covers most of the periodontal defect patterns as a reliable approach. This presentation will cover all of the minimally invasive non-surgical and surgical periodontal approaches and discuss if it is possible to apply these techniques for all periodontal defects in a manner of considering the Read more about Minimally invasive non-surgical and surgical approaches – do you still have indications for conventional therapies ?[…]
