Think globally – act locally

A very positive effect of the globalized information streams is that everybody willing to know what is going on can be very well informed. If you stick to facts rather than believe opinions, an analytic mind can infer from the information available that local actions usually have global effects […]

IN VITRO WEAR OF TEN UNIVERSAL COMPOSITES

Since their invention in the 1950s, composites have been continuously  improved, however without abandoning their basic concepts. Over the years it became very obvious that the fillers used had the greatest influence on their physical and mechanical properties. The fillers determine the mechanical properties, they reduce the polymerization shrinkage, the filler selection may optimize wear behavior, they influence the optical properties (translucency) and may enhance the radiopacity[…]

Susceptibility of RBC to various clinical relevant curing conditions

Incremental layering technique is accepted as a golden standard for the placement of regular resin-based composite (RBC) restorations. The increments are limited to a thickness of 2 mm to allow for an adequate polymerization in a clinically reasonable time[…]

Effect of platelet-rich plasma on chronic odontogenic maxillary sinusitis: a pilot study

CMOS is an inflammation of the maxillary sinus caused by dental infection. Patients with chronic periodontitis have an increased risk of developing maxillary sinusitis caused by intra-antral foreign bodies or by oroantral fistulas after tooth extraction [1,2]. According to the literature in the field, the incidence of this disease in the adult population is 10-12%, but according to the latest studies, the incidence increased to 41% [3-5] […]

Root tip migration into the infundibulum of the maxillary sinus after complicated first molar extraction

Extraction of maxillary molars with multiple and separated roots can be complicated with root fracture. Accidentally, these roots can be displaced into the maxillary sinus and cause oroantral fistula, sinusitis, cellulitis and subdural empyema. Displacement of roots into the maxillary sinus can be identified by imaging, which also provides information on the root size and the location within the sinus[…]

Large odontogenic keratocyst of the mandible: A combined intra/extra oral approach followed by enucleation

Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) of the mandible have been of interest since first presented by Philipsen in 1956. OKCs are considered to be benign intraosseous lesions of odontogenic origin. Evidence suggests that OKC’s are to be found posterior to the third molars if offshoots of dental lamina remnants are involved[…]
