BACKGROUND: The term "navigation" describes a device that can pinpoint critical anatomical features, the most direct path to the target, and the optimal surgical orientation. This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive literature search on computer-assisted navigation for use in oral and maxillofacial surgery. METHODS: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement, relevant studies were retrieved from five electronic databases: Medline, Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Saudi Digital Library (SDL)...

BACKGROUND: Many studies have examined the relationship between nutrition and dental caries. However further studies are needed regarding nutritional factors that can have a strong impact on the incidence of early childhood caries (ECC). Nutrition is one factor that determines caries occurrence. Exposure to carbohydrates in the oral cavity causes carbohydrate fermentation, which produces acids. This acidic substance erodes the enamel surface of teeth, leading to ECC. This systematic review and meta -analysis of cohort studies assessed the aspects of nutrition and diet that contribute to the incidence of ECC in children...

Access to potable water is a significant concern due to the increasing global threat posed by fluoride contamination in groundwater sources. This study investigated the concentrations of fluoride (F- ), the suitability of groundwater for human consumption, the physicochemical characteristics affecting the water quality, and non-carcinogenic adverse health risks to both children and adults in the Bongo district in Northern Ghana. The findings revealed that the groundwater had a mean pH, salinity, TDS, conductivity, and turbidity below the WHO guideline values with a mean fluoride concentration of 1...

BACKGROUND:  The development of computerized aids for dental education offers potential benefits in teaching complex procedures, such as the design of removable partial dentures (RPDs). This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a novel computerized tool in enhancing the ability of both dental students and practicing dentists to design RPDs, as well as to evaluate its utility as an interactive educational instrument. METHODS:  A cohort comprising a total of 75 individuals (25 practicing dentists and 50 undergraduate dental students) was enlisted...

INTRODUCTION: Approximately, 5.5 million dental implants are estimated to be surgically placed in the United States yearly, with an anticipated long-term failure rate ranging from 3% to 10%. At the Salt Lake City Dental Clinic within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VHA), specific protocols have been established to mandate that clinicians present every dental implant case for review by a committee. To understand the effectiveness of this approach, a comparative data analysis was undertaken to compare local dental implant failure data against national VHA data...

The integration of dentistry into primary health care is crucial for promoting patient well-being. However, clinical studies in dentistry face challenges, including issues with study design, transparency, and relevance to primary care. Clinical trials in dentistry often focus on specific issues with strict eligibility criteria, limiting the generalizability of findings. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) face challenges in reflecting real-world conditions and using clinically relevant outcomes. The need for more pragmatic approaches and the inclusion of clinically relevant outcomes (CROs) is discussed, such as tooth loss or implant success...

We report a new method to make air-stable n-type organic mixed ionic-electronic conductor (OMIEC) films for organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) using a solution-processable small molecule helical perylene diimide trimer, hPDI[3]-C11 . Alkyl side chains were attached to the conjugated core for processability and film making, which were then cleaved via thermal annealing. After the sidechains were removed, the hPDI[3] film becomes less hydrophobic, more ordered, and has a deeper lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO)...

INTRODUCTION: Understanding the rationale for adult patients undertaking orthodontic treatment and the impact of appliances on their quality of life has become increasingly important to research efforts and clinical care. This study aimed to understand why adult patients undergo orthodontic treatment and their overall experience with the choice of appliance. METHODS: A cross-sectional qualitative study using semistructured interviews with adult patients from 4 private specialist orthodontic practices in the London region involving a purposive homogeneous sampling technique to obtain variation regarding gender, treatment modalities (fixed ceramic [FC], removable aligner [RA], and fixed lingual [FL] appliances), and stages of treatment (early, late, and posttreatment stage) was undertaken...

Increasing difficulties in recruitment and retention of dentists and dental care professionals in general dental practice in the UK is affecting delivery of NHS dental services. Reports of dissatisfaction among the general dental practice workforce indicate there is a significant risk to the future dental workforce supply which will affect access to dental care and worsen oral health inequalities. Understanding the factors related to job satisfaction and dissatisfaction of dental professionals would be useful in managing recruitment and retention issues and ensure a dental workforce exists which is able to meet the needs of the population...

Transposition of teeth may present to the general dental practitioner and in some circumstances transposed teeth may present with other dental anomalies. Although dental transpositions are rare anomalies, management of transposed teeth can often be complex, requiring multidisciplinary management. It is therefore important for dentists to be familiar with the clinical and radiographic presentation of transpositions and understand the aetiology to aid early diagnosis and appropriate management. Clinical relevance: Dentists are best placed to detect transposed teeth and should be familiar with the clinical and radiographic presentation, aetiology, and classification of transpositions in order to aid early diagnosis and their subsequent management...

Digital smile design (DSD) plays an essential role in the planning of aesthetic treatments. However, most digital smile designing software programmes are expensive and require specialised training and skill for effective implementation. This paper illustrates the use of Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft PowerPoint, which are economical and user friendly for planning aesthetics in a clinical case.
