Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment (NSPT) is the first recommended approach to prevent periodontal infections. This study aimed to compare the HbA1c level in non-diabetic people with chronic periodontitis with people with healthy periodontium tissue. Also, in this study, the impact of NSPT on the blood sugar control of non-diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis was investigated. In this clinical trial study, patients were divided into two control and intervention groups. The intervention g

Vitamin D is one of the steroid hormones that is mainly obtained from food and diet supplements and exposure to sunlight. This vitamin plays a vital role in bone turnover and calcium phosphate homeostasis and as a result the musculoskeletal system. In addition, vitamin D is important in the immune system. This research aimed to review the manifestations of vitamin D deficiency in the mouth, jaw, and face. In this review study, articles published in the English language between 2010 and 2024 were

The purpose of this study is to examine and compare the amount of external apical root resorption (EARR) in incisors observed after orthodontic treatment using fixed orthodontic appliances (FOA) or clear aligners (CAT). The systematic review was carried out adhering to PRISMA guidelines. The review included retrospective studies and randomized control trials, which performed 2D panoramic radiographs, periapical radiographs, and cone beam computed tomography to evaluate EARR levels in anterior te

Intentional replantation involves the purposeful extraction of a tooth, which is then reinserted back into its socket. It is considered one of the alternate options to be considered in the management of hopeless teeth presenting with advanced periodontal destruction in anterior teeth. Intentional replantation is generally opted for the management of endodontically reinfected teeth with good periodontal support and contraindicated in teeth with reduced periodontal support. The main advantage is t

The ideal way to describe minimal invasive dentistry is to treat caries using a biological strategy as opposed to a conventional (surgical) operational dentistry strategy. In cases when surgical dentistry is necessary, treatment is now done as conservatively as possible, causing the least amount of damage to the tooth's structure. This novel method of managing carious lesions shifts the focus from identifying the lesions as cavities (and a recurring cycle of restorations) to identifying the

The dental implants have been successful, which has prompted study into methods to reduce surgical complexity and improve survival. Even in the most critical case, the use of implants has expanded as a result of advanced technology. Reduced bone height and volume as a result of bone resorption after tooth extraction renders implant placement difficult. In situations when the standard implants are not feasible, shorter implants have been proposed as an alternative. It's uncerta

The purpose of this work was to study the possibility of using atomic force microscopy in the assessment of morphostructural changes at increased erasability of teeth. For the experiment, 100 teeth samples from patients of various age groups living in the North Caucasus Federal District of Russia were obtained. Atomic force microscopy made it possible to establish that in teeth with manifestations of increased erasability, the diameter of the tubes and their number are smaller both on the surfac

According to the World Health Organization, dental caries affects approximately 60-90% of schoolchildren and almost 100% of adults worldwide. An urgent task today is the early diagnosis of micro-damage to the tooth enamel. For this purpose, laser-induced fluorescence diagnostics can be used, which allows the identification of caries by analyzing the intrinsic fluorescence of microorganisms. In the framework of this work, a method of laser-induced fluorescence diagnostics of micro-damage to enam

The analysis of the effect of etching of the carious cavity after preparation with a gel containing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on the structure and strength properties of the "dentin- filling" and "enamel-filling" boundaries in permanent teeth with low caries resistance of hard tissues was carried out. The research samples were made from teeth removed for medical reasons in patients aged 18 to 60 years. The sealing was performed with adhesive systems of the IV and V generations, fluid and pac

Understanding the configuration of the root canal systems in detail improves the success rates of root canal treatment and long-term prognosis. A cross-sectional was conducted to evaluate the root canal variations in the mandibular premolar teeth. 151 mandibular premolar teeth w ere analyzed using cone-beam computed tomographic scans. The pulp canal configuration of first mandibular premolar and second mandibular premolar were analyzed using axial, coronal, and sagittal sections. The results rev
