The objective of this study was evaluate the compressive strength of Lithium disilicate and shear bond strength with zirconia core after addition of Titanium dioxide and Silica dioxide nanoparticle to Lithium disilicate. Forty samples were divided into four groups. Each group contains (10) samples as follows: Group1 (control) lithium disilicate without the addition of nanoparticles. Group2 lithium disilicate with the addition of Titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Group 3 lithium disilicate with the

This study aimed to assess the relationship between chronic oral candidiasis and the development of early childhood caries (ECC) in preschool-aged children. A prospective comparative clinical-laboratory study included 70 children aged 3-6 years, divided into two groups: a main group (n=35) with verified chronic oral candidiasis and a control group (n=35). All participants underwent a comprehensive dental examination to determine caries intensity indices (DMFT, DMFS) and oral hygiene status (OHI-

Effective control of pain, edema, trismus, and fluid loss is critical for optimal postoperative recovery following third molar extractions. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of tranexamic acid on inflammatory and biophysical parameters after such procedures. A randomized clinical trial with a split-mouth design was conducted, in which patients underwent bilateral lower third molar extractions on separate hemifaces, with a minimum interval of 15 days. One side received oral tranexamic acid

Prostheses supported by implants directly transmit the occlusion loads to the adjacent peri-implant bone, and this can result in complicated patterns of stress distribution affecting long-term implant stability. The biomechanics of stress transfer to the dental implants during complete denture loading and the effects on long-term stability of the implants through the use of a finite element analysis technique. A 3D finite element model of an edentulous mandible provided with an implant-supported

Biopolymer-based delivery systems incorporating plant-derived phytoconstituents are increasingly explored for improving human health and wellbeing through multifunctional biomedical applications. In oral diseases, oxidative stress and inflammation play key roles in disease progression. Gymnema sylvestre and Curcuma longa exhibit established antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; however, their combined incorporation into an alginate-based biocomposite and systematic in vitro evaluation re

Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease affecting human health and oral wellbeing, with Porphyromonas gingivalis as a key pathogen. Effective local therapies are essential to improve clinical outcomes and reduce disease burden, with implications for public health. To evaluate the clinical and microbiological efficacy of subgingivally delivered ranitidine hydrogel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in Stage II Grade A periodontitis. Fifty systemically healthy patients (30–60 years) w
