What is the ideal jaw shape for women? According to a study, Belgian scientists have identified angles that can help with jaw-shaping procedures for women. The authors write to help design a jaw-angled implant, determine jaw surgery strategies, clinicians can use shapes deemed attractive or shape t

Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle have developed a toothpaste that could provide permanent treatment for hyperesthesia (dental sensitivity). The lozenge uses a peptide derived from a larger protein called amelogenin, which plays a key role in the biological development of

According to the researchers, the common tissue origin of skin and teeth means that genetic mutations associated with atopic dermatitis may share a pathogenic pathway with abnormalities in tooth development. Skin and teeth share a common origin from ectodermal tissues, and a number of studies have

In 2012, it was estimated that approximately 260 million direct composite restorations are performed on average per year worldwide. It is clear that in 2019 this figure was significantly higher. At the same time, it should be understood that the materials that dentists use in their practice, such as

According to a new study from Sweden, the method of age determination based on the assessment of mandibular third molar root formation appears to be completely unreliable. Determining a person's age plays a key role in various medical, legal, and anthropological contexts. Traditionally, the sta

Clarification of the mechanisms responsible for the restoration of the immune response during plasmolifting in patients suffering from chronic periodontitis will make it possible to prevent the early development of atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other pathological processes that have a m

When silver diamine fluoride (SDF) was applied to the root surface of older people, dentin hypersensitivity was reduced by almost 60%. The authors report that this is the first clinical study investigating the short-term and long-term desensitizing effect of SDF on hypersensitive teeth due to expos

According to a new study, an increased increase in cerebrovascular disease may be due to a genetic predisposition to dental diseases. As evidence for cerebrovascular disease, the researchers used the presence of white matter hyperintensity, which is cumulative damage to the white matter of the brain

According to the report, while treating peri-implantitis, air was introduced into the skull of a 62-year-old woman, which is life-threatening. This happened when a woman was undergoing a submucosal debridement procedure to treat a peri-implant lesion using a special air polishing device. Two second
