This systematic review aimed to determine the effectiveness and success rates associated with the use of orthodontic closure and dental implants to replace missing first molars. The results of the research taken into consideration in this paper were presented using the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. 8 of the remaining papers were selected because they met the inclusion criteria after 32 articles were excluded due to duplication. The remainin

The last few decades have witnessed an evolution in orthodontics and bone remodeling to meet contemporary aesthetic and therapeutic needs. Over the past century, various methods have been used and investigated, including invasive surgical and non-surgical methods. However, in certain circumstances, significant challenges may arise that can lead to adverse postherpetic outcomes. To minimize patient injury and destruction, a variety of surgical instruments and handpieces are used during corticotom

This study aimed to investigate the effects of different fiber implantation techniques on the microleakage of MOD cavities and fracture resistance in molar teeth. The study was conducted in two phases: the microleakage test group (T2) and the fracture resistance test group (T1). There was a randomization of 110 third molars (T1:n1/4 = 80, T2:n1/3 = 30). Group K was the composite restoration (Gaenial Posterior, GC); group KFT was the cavity lined with polyethylene fiber (Ribbond, Ribbond Inc., Se

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the current relationship between condylar guidance and cuspal angulation in natural dentition. This study included 56 pretreatment samples of subjects (lateral cephalograms and study models). Using 3D technology, the study model was scanned to determine the cuspal angulation. The inclination of a tooth's cuspal slope and the line that passes across its cusp fossa combine to generate the cuspal angulation. An extra-oral scanner (shining 3D auto scanner
