Association between dental caries and adherence to the Mediterranean diet, dietary intake, and body mass index in children BMC Oral Health (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-03-02 Kübra Esin, Beyza Ballı-Akgöl, Saniye Sözlü , Betul Kocaadam-Bozkurt
Children with healthier nutritional status are less likely to develop severe caries than those with a high-sugar content diet. Studies evaluating dental caries and nutritional status in school-age children have generally focused on dietary intake, diet quality, or anthropometric measures, and the number of studies evaluating them together is limited. It was aimed to evaluate the relationship between

Optimizing fracture resistance of endodontically treated maxillary premolars restored with preheated thermos-viscous composite post-thermocycling, a comparative study. Part I BMC Oral Health (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-03-02 Heba B. Abdel-Maksoud, Bassem M. Eid, Mai Hamdy, Heba M. Abdelaal
This research aimed to investigate fracture resistance of endodontically treated maxillary premolars restored using preheated thermo-viscous and fiber-reinforced bulk fill resin composite, in vitro. Sixty sound human maxillary premolars were selected and divided randomly into 6 groups of ten teeth each (n = 10). Group 1; is the positive control with sound unprepared teeth (P), Group 2; is the negative

Micro-computed tomographic evaluation of the shaping ability of three nickel-titanium rotary systems in the middle mesial canal of mandibular first molars: an ex vivo study based on 3D printed tooth replicas BMC Oral Health (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-03-02 Qi Zhu, Chao Liu, Bingbing Bai, Fan Pei, Ying Tang, Weijian Song, Xiuchun Chen, Yongchun Gu
The preparation of the middle mesial (MM) canal of mandibular molars represents a challenge because it is often curved, narrow, and close to the root concave. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ex vivo shaping ability of 3 nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary systems in the MM canal using 3D printed resin tooth replicas. A permanent mandibular first molar with a MM canal was acquired from a pool

Comparation of the effectiveness of conventional needle irrigation and photon-induced photoacoustic streaming with sodium hypochorite in the treatment of teeth with apical periodontitis: a randomized clinical trial BMC Oral Health (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-03-02 Jian Zhao, Shengxuan Wu, Yuting Huang, Yuxuan Zhao, He Liu, Qianzhou Jiang, Ya Shen, Minle Chen
Photon-initiated photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) with an Er: YAG laser has been introduced in root canal treatment to improve irrigation and facilitate the removal of bacteria in the root canal system. This study aimed to compare the antibacterial effectiveness of two different root canal irrigation techniques, conventional needle irrigation (CNI) and PIPS, using 1% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), in the

Orthodontic treatment demand for fixed treatment and aligners among young adults in middle Europe and South America – a questionnaire study BMC Oral Health (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-03-02 Maciej Jedliński, Joyce Belfus, Marta Milona, Marta Mazur, Katarzyna Grocholewicz, Joanna Janiszewska-Olszowska
Patients experiencing any malocclusion, may desire for treatment. However, there is no scientific information orthodontic treatment demand and the knowledge of young adults about orthodontic treatment. The aim of the study was to assess orthodontic treatment demand in young adults from Poland and Chile, their previous orthodontic experience and their knowledge on fixed and aligner orthodontic treatment

Long-term effect of simulated five years professional mechanical biofilm removal on the luting gap of ceramic restorations BMC Oral Health (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-03-02 Miriam Cyris, Philipp Holtmann, Christof E. Dörfer, Louise Holtmann, Matthias Kern, Christian Graetz
Achieving sufficient professional mechanical biofilm removal (PMPR) can be challenging in supportive periodontal therapy (SPT), particularly in patients with prosthetic restorations. This experimental study aimed to simulate five years of SPT with periodic PMPR near the luting gap of ceramic restorations using a rubber cup with polishing paste (RCP), air polishing with two different low-abrasive powders

The growth factor multimodality on treating human dental mesenchymal stem cells: a systematic review BMC Oral Health (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-03-01 Huiying He, Yun-Hsuan Yang, Xuesong Yang, Yue Huang
Ensuring the quantity, quality, and efficacy of human dental mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has become an urgent problem as their applications increase. Growth factors (GFs) have low toxicity, good biocompatibility, and regulate stem cell survival and differentiation. They bind to specific receptors on target cells, initiating signal transduction and triggering biological functions. So far, relatively
