Do Probiotics Affect Oral Health in Patients Under Treatment with Fixed Orthodontic Appliances? A Systematic Review
(2019)AIM: As the presence of fixed orthodontic appliances increases biofilm retention, a deterioration in periodontal clinical parameters can be observed and, under certain conditions, a cariogenic environment may develop, ... -
Do the various interceptive interventions improve the position of palatally displaced permanent canines? A meta-analysis
(2021)Background: Extraction of maxillary primary canines (Cs) and other interceptive interventions in the mixed dentition have been suggested to increase the rate of normal eruption of palatally displaced permanent canines ... -
Educational Initiative for School Nurses and Physical Education Teachers on the Emergency Management of Traumatic Dental Injuries in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
(2017-08)Introduction: Emergency management of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) is an urgent matter crucial for long term prognosis, especially in cases of tooth avulsion. School playgrounds and physical education (PE) classes are ... -
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, ... -
Effect of estrus cycle on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement: A systematic review of animal studies
(2020)Background: As estrogen levels affect bone metabolism, the hormonal changes encountered during the estrus cycle may exert an influence on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement. Aim: To systematically investigate ... -
Effect of nicotine exposure on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement: a meta-analysis based on animal studies
(2020)Background: Nicotine exposure has been reported to modify bone metabolism with potential effects on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement. Aim: To systematically investigate and appraise the quality of the available ... -
Effect of Ovariectomy-Induced Menopause on The Rate of Orthodontic Tooth Movement: A Systematic Review of Animal Studies
(2019)Background: The menopause may theoretically affect the biochemical events leading to orthodontic tooth movement. Aim: To systematically investigate and appraise the quality of the available evidence from animal studies ... -
Effect of Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) Solution on the Stem Cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth (SHEDs)
(2022)Background: SDF is a solution containing silver, fluoride, and ammonia. Clinically, it is used to arrest the progression of carious lesions in primary teeth. Recent studies have shown that SDF has indirect effect on pulp ... -
Effect of supine and upright positions on airway dimensions in patients with obstructive sleep apnea
(2021)Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of supine vs upright imaging positions on airway dimensions in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Materials and methods: This retrospective study included ... -
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 ... -
The effect of varying concentrations of hydrogen peroxide on bovine enamel and dentine
(2021)Background: Bleaching has become a popular treatment option for aesthetic management of discolored teeth. Bleaching is a conservative approach in aesthetic dentistry compared to other invasive restorative treatment ... -
Effect of Voxel Size on the Accuracy of Airway Volumetric Measurements Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography
(2021)Aim: The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the airway volume, dental, and skeletal parameters measured digitally on cone beam computed tomography scans (CBCTs) using ... -
Effectiveness of extraction of the primary canines for the interceptive management of palatally displaced permanent canines - a meta-analysis
(2017-01)AIM: Although extraction of primary canines in the mixed dentition has been suggested as a measure to prevent impaction of palatally displaced permanent canines (PDC), the relevant evidence has been inconclusive. The aim ... -
Effectiveness of Orthodontic Procedures, Alternative or Adjunctive To Extraction of the Primary Canines, For Interceptive Management of Palatally Displaced Permanent Canines: A Systematic Review
(2018)Aim: Although Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME), Trans-Palatal Arch (TPA) and Cervical-pull Headgear (HG) have been suggested as interventions in the mixed dentition to increase the rate of normal eruption of the palatally ... -
Effectiveness of Spray Disinfectants on Three dental Impression Materials
(2019-08)Background: The disinfection of dental impressions is fundamental to prevent cross-infection from the dental surgery to the laboratory. Spray rather than immersion disinfectants have recently been introduced to dental ... -
