As an alternative to regenerative therapies, numerous authors have recently proposed bringing back subperiosteal implants. The aim of the study was to present our clinical experience with a subperiosteal jaw implant that needs minimal bone preparation and enables the rapid implantation of prosthetic teeth in edentulous, atrophic alveolar bone. The research included 36 complete or partial edentulous patients (61 subperiostal implants) over a period of 6 years. To create the patient-specific subperiostal implants design, DentalCAD 3.0 Galway software (exocad GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany) was used and fabricated with a Mysint 100 (Sisma S.p.A., Piovene Rocchette, Italy) by titanium alloy powder. The results showed that only 9 of the 36 cases were successful at 6-year follow-up, while 27 cases had complications, including exposure of the metal frame (early or delayed), mobility of the device prior to the first 4–6 months, and late mobility due to recurrent infections and progressive structure exposure; 1 case failed for reasons unrelated to the device. This study indicated that the prudent application of fully customized subperiosteal jaw implants is a dependable alternative for the dental rehabilitation of atrophic edentulous cases that necessitate bone grafts for traditional fixed dental implant solutions.

The article "Strategies for Motivating and Retaining Human Resources in Dentistry" emphasizes the significance of motivating and retaining dental staff for the success of dental offices or clinics. It discusses the importance of a united and professionally trained team to provide quality services, reduce costs, and promote a healthy organizational culture. The article explores various strategies to improve motivation and long-term stability, such as investing in employees, creating a rewarding work environment, and promoting employee retention. It also discusses the impact of employee motivation on the quality of services, patient experience, recruitment and training costs, and organizational culture. The article references Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory and Herzberg's theory of motivational and hygiene factors to provide insights into employee motivation. [Extracted from the article]

This article explores the connection between periodontal disease and cardiovascular diseases, emphasizing the importance of oral health in cardiovascular patients. It discusses the role of oral dysbiosis and inflammation in the development of cardiovascular conditions. The article suggests that oral rehabilitation and cardiac rehabilitation are crucial in the care of cardiovascular patients. The document is a list of references that provide a comprehensive overview of the current research on the link between periodontal disease and various systemic conditions, particularly cardiovascular disease.

The concept of machines learning and acting like humans is what is meant by the phrase "artificial intelligence" (AI). Several branches of dentistry are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The literature usually focuses on AI models. These AI models have been used to detect and diagnose a wide range of conditions, including, but not limited to, dental caries, vertical root fractures, apical lesions, diseases of the salivary glands, maxillary sinusitis, maxillofacial cysts, cervical lymph node metastasis, osteoporosis, cancerous lesions, alveolar bone loss, the need for orthodontic extractions or treatments, cephalometric analysis, age and gender determination, and more. The primary contemporary applications of AI in the dental field are in undergraduate teaching and research. Before these methods can be used in everyday dentistry, however, the underlying technology and user interfaces need to be refined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abnormal functions, such as mouth breathing, swallowing, and unilateral chewing, and aberrant postures of the oral circumferential muscles, such as forwards tongue thrust, tongue biting, and low tongue at rest, can also contribute to the development of malocclusion. Even the most conservative of orthodontists would admit that aberrant tongue movement is a common contributor to misaligned teeth. This research was conducted with the intention of shedding light on the tongue's structure and development, as well as its functions and orthodontic consequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aging is a universal and irreversible biological process characterized by reduced defense mechanisms against the environment, loss of functional reserves, and a tendency for organs and apparatuses to atrophy. Age-related involutional physiological changes underlying the natural aging process can promote the occurrence of oral pathologies in the elderly. Globally, poor oral health among older people has traditionally been manifest in high levels of tooth loss, dental caries and periodontal disease experience, as well as xerostomia and oral lesions.

As a result of a network of collagen, elastic, and fat fibers, the Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System (SMAS) connects face muscles and dermis. Compared to the rest of the body, the face’s subcutaneous morphology is the most structured. The forehead, parotid area, zygomatic region, temporal region, cheek, infraorbital region, nasolabial fold, and lower lip all have SMAS-specific characteristics that distinguish them from other facial structures.

The most frequent oral cancer is oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC). Tobacco products, alcohol, betel quid, areca nut and genetic mutation are also significant risk factors for OCSCC. In spite of this, new treatment options are constantly being developed because the survival rate lowers as the disease progresses. a comprehensive understanding of the molecular process of oral cavity cancer (OCC) is vital to developing targeted treatments. It is the purpose of this review to keep the researcher abreast of the latest developments in oral cavity cancer research, including risk factors, genetic alterations and molecular mechanisms.

Occur at a similar rate, the knee orthopedics sector receives more funding and offers more effective end-stage therapy options. However, whereas translational research has resulted in the production of tissue-engineered products for the repair of knee cartilage, the same cannot be said for the repair of TMJ cartilages.

Residual ridge resorption is a multi-factorial biomechanical condition caused by a combination of anatomic, mechanical, and metabolic variables, according to a study of the literature. Because occlusal forces can produce fast resorption without causing systemic bone loss, they are thought to be the most common cause of residual ridge resorption. The rate of resorption differs from one individual to the next. Residual ridge resorption is a chronic, progressive, and irreversible condition. It's a dangerous oral condition that can lead to physical, financial, and psychological issues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In dentistry, interdisciplinary applications are a particularly important acquisition for the health of the components of the stomatognathic system. There are few studies on the impact of dentures on temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Ccomponents of the stomatognathic system cannot be interpreted separately, but in close functional and dysfunctional correlation and all this in a correlation and interdependence with the other systems and subsystems of the human organism. In this context, a complex, documented study was performed that outlines the TMD that occurs in conditions of a dysfunctional syndrome of the stomatognathic system. The current study shows that there is a low prevalence of signs and symptoms of TMJ alterations in elderly people of 15%. Complete dentures wearers have TMD represented by muscle sensitivity, sounds or limited movement. It is not necessarily associated with pain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Unlabelled: This paper seeks the characterization of new polymers acrylic cross-linked structure, prepared in the presence of a template that creates the polymer synthesized the property of saving template form., Material and Method: For carrying out synthesis of polymers reticulate-based on dimethacrylate monomer was left to the mono-, di-and trietilenglicol dimethacrylate. Cross-linked polymerization reaction was initiated with benzoyl peroxide., Results: New structures are obtained witch respond to the need to diversify and improve the biomaterials used in dentistry. The materials are chemically thermally and mechanically inert. Reticulate polymers are non-biodegradable and therefore do not produce intoxication and not degrade biological fluids.
