Evaluation of root and canal morphology of mandibular permanent anterior teeth in Emirati subpopulation: A cone-beam computed tomography study
(2021)Background: Failure in mandibular permanent anterior teeth is almost due to missed second canal. Advanced techniques such as using a dental operating microscope and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), one important ... -
Evaluation of the mental foramen and the mandibular canal course in emirati population: a cone-beam computed tomography study
(2021)Background: The mandibular canal (MC) is an important bony structure presents in the mandible that contains a bundle of nerves and vessels including the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and the mandibular division of the ... -
Effect of usage and autoclaving on the cyclic fatigue resistance of heat-treated nickel-titanium instrument
(2021)Background: Nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments are often reused in endodontic treatment for economic reasons. Thus, cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization of these endodontic instruments are essential. Several studies ... -
A retrospective analysis of biological complications of implant-supported fixed dental prostheses
(2021)Background: In the past few decades implant supported fixed dental protheses has become widely accepted treatment option for replacing missing teeth. Despite their high survival rate, complications such as peri-implant ... -
Loss of pulp vitality following preparation of vital teeth for crowns/FDPs restorations for at least 5 years of follow up period: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2022)Background: Loss of pulp vitality is a common biological complication after full coverage indirect restorations, and dental practitioners should be aware of the contributing factors to achieve best treatment outcome. ... -
Evaluation of the submandibular fossa and its correlation to implant placement using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography
(2022)Background: The alveolar ridge morphology in the posterior mandibular region has many variations that may pose fatal complications if not assessed and addressed properly. Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the ... -
Evaluating the Spread of Aerosols During Crown Preparation: An In-Vitro Study
(2022)Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19) brought in an unanticipated dire situation and affected dental practice significantly. Due to the nature of profession, suspension of treatment ... -
Alveolar Ridge Preservation: a Cochrane Systematic Review and Metaanalysis
(2022)Background: Alveolar bone changes following tooth extraction can compromise prosthodontic rehabilitation. Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) has been proposed to limit these changes and improve prosthodontic and aesthetic ... -
Comparative in vitro study between digital and conventional impression techniques for artificial maxillectomy defect
(2022)Background: The trend in using 3D digital dental technology has increased in the past two decades, however, its application in prosthetic rehabilitation of maxillofacial defects is still developing. The aim of this in ... -
Assessment of Anterior Maxillary Labial Bone Thickness Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography: A Retrospective Analysis
(2022)Background: The morphological variations observed in labial bone thickness (LBT) around maxillary anterior teeth can affect the three-dimensional placement of dental implants and its long-term outcomes; making it imperative ... -
Diode laser as an adjunctive treatment for peri-implant mucositis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2022)Background: The early detection and treatment of peri-implant mucositis may help in reducing inflammatory parameters and arrest disease progression to peri-implantitis. The potential clinical benefits of using different ... -
Airflow for initial non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2022)Background: Non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis may help in reducing microbial load and inflammatory parameters. The potential clinical benefits of using different treatment approaches, in the initial non-surgical ... -
Protective Stabilization for Children as Part of Advanced Behavior Management Technique in Dentistry: UAE United Arab Emirates Dentists’ and Parents’ Acceptance
(2022)Background: Behavior Management Techniques (BMTs), used by Pediatric Dentists (PDs) and some General Dental Practitioners (GDPs) for managing children’s dental care, are divided into two categories: “basic behavior ... -
Severity and Pattern of Dental Caries of the First Permanent Molars among 5–12-Year-Old Children attending Dubai Dental Hospital in the United Arab Emirates
(2022)Aims: Dental caries is the most frequent chronic disease in children, with a number of predisposing factors that should be evaluated on an individual basis. We aimed to retrospectively determine the severity and pattern ... -
Prevalence and severity of ectopic eruption of first permanent molars in 5 to 12 year old children attending Dubai Dental Hospital in United Arab Emirates
(2022)Background: Ectopic eruption (EE) occurs when a tooth fails to follow its normal pathway of eruption. Failure to detect EE of a first permanent molar (FPM) can lead to premature loss of the second primary molar, loss of ... -
Effect of enamel deproteinization on bonding orthodontic brackets: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2022)Background: Frequent deboning is common during orthodontic treatment. Enamel deproteinization with 5.25% NaOCl or papain has been proposed as one way to increase shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets. Moreover, ... -
The anteroposterior effect of rapid maxillary expansion using bone-borne VERSUS tooth-borne expander: A comparative study
(2022)Background: In orthodontics, slow, rapid, and surgically assisted maxillary expansions are commonly performed to correct maxillary constriction, posterior crossbite, and crowding. Ideally, this treatment approach is ... -
