Summary: This study reviewed the use of hydraulic materials in Endodontics, categorizing them based on different clinical uses and evaluating their properties such as physical, chemical, biological, and antimicrobial characteristics. The study found that hydraulic cements have a significant impact on clinical outcomes, but the current testing methodologies limit their effective clinical translation.

Summary: This study assessed the measurement of overall oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) construct and its four dimensions using several versions of OHIP, and provided recommendations for their use and scoring. The results showed high correlations between the summary scores of the 5, 14, 19, and 49 item versions, indicating similar measurement of OHRQoL across different versions. Based on the findings, it is recommended to use the 5-item OHIP version for psychometrically sound and practical assessment of OHRQoL.

Summary: Healthy peri-implant tissues are crucial for the success of dental implants. This article discusses the prevention and management of various complications in implant dentistry, including the influence of multiple factors on implant outcomes and the challenges associated with bone augmentation and prosthesis failure. It also highlights the importance of patient-reported outcomes in assessing the success of implant dentistry.

Summary: Therapeutic strategies focused on pulp preservation are important in managing deep caries and exposed pulp in vital teeth. While vital pulp treatments (VPTs) have been used for over a century, recent advancements in regenerative endodontics and biologically based therapies have expanded the indications for VPT to include mature cariously affected teeth and teeth with irreversible pulpitis. However, gaps in scientific knowledge and limited educational dissemination among dentists pose challenges in accurately diagnosing the inflammatory state of the pulp and providing consistent treatment options. This review discusses the current status of VPT, identifies the major problems hindering its clinical acceptance, and offers potential solutions for making VPT a more consistently prescribed evidenced-based treatment in dental practice.

Summary: Clear aligner-based treatment has gained attention from orthodontic professionals and general practitioners, but the accuracy of tooth movement with aligners is still relatively low. This paper discusses the drawbacks of aligner-based therapy, particularly the biomechanical properties of aligner material, and provides clinical insights for improving the effectiveness of aligner therapy.

Summary: This clinical study evaluated the influence of tooth location on the accuracy of intraoral scanning. The results showed that allowing further modification of the preexisting intraoral digital scan significantly decreased scanning accuracy, while the tooth location of the rescanned mesh hole did not impact scanning accuracy.

Summary: Lipopolysaccharide is a virulence factor of gram-negative bacteria that is crucial for the integrity of the bacterial surface. It activates both innate and adaptive immunity and can trigger inflammation directly or indirectly. Chronic endotoxemia, which is associated with an increased risk of inflammation-driven diseases, particularly cardiometabolic disorders, has been linked to the gut microbiota as the main source. Oral dysbiosis in periodontitis may also contribute to endotoxemia. This suggests that lipopolysaccharide could be a molecular link between periodontal microbiota and cardiometabolic diseases.

Summary: The study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the association between tooth loss and nutritional status in adults aged 60 and above in developed countries. Findings suggest that older adults with tooth loss are at greater risk of malnutrition than those with functionally adequate dentition. The use of validated tools to assess the risk of malnutrition in this population is crucial for promoting early intervention and referral to optimize nutrition and oral health status.

Summary: The study systematically reviewed treatment modalities for molar-incisor hypomineralisation in children under 18 years old. Resin-based fissure sealants, preformed metal crowns, direct composite resin restorations and laboratory-made restorations were recommended for affected molars, while specific approaches for management of affected incisors lacked sufficient evidence. Products containing CPP-ACP may be beneficial for hypomineralised teeth.

Summary: Deep learning is a powerful technology for medical image analysis that offers fast and robust object detection, segmentation, tracking, and classification of pathophysiological anatomical structures. However, the lack of sufficient medical images for training sets poses a major limitation for deep learning in medical image analysis.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy and impact of using 40% hydrogen peroxide with different pHs for bleaching. The results showed that the bleaching agent with pH 5.1 had the highest diffusion of hydrogen peroxide in the pulp chamber, but there were no significant differences in color change or enamel morphology among the different pH groups. Therefore, it is suggested to use alkaline gels for in-office bleaching to minimize damage to the pulpal tissue.

Summary: This research aims to describe the changes in perceived infectability, germ aversion, and fear of COVID-19 in adults in Madrid from the beginning of the pandemic to the lockdown exit phase, and their impact on dental care behavior. The study found that participants had higher scores for infectability and germ aversion after the total lockdown. A significant proportion of participants avoided dental visits due to fear of COVID-19. High levels of perceived infectability and fear of COVID-19 were associated with a greater likelihood of avoiding dental care.
