[PMID: 37953209 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2023.10.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Social media platforms such as Instagram have recently become popular among dentists, dental interest groups, and patients for sharing dental-related information. However, a study that dissects and analyzes implant-related posts on Instagram is lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the type of implant-related information on Instagram by highlighting the characteristics of the top-performing posts and assessing their usefulness as educational content. MATERIAL AND METHODS A list of 12 implantology-related hashtags on Instagram was searched, and, for each hashtag, data were acquired for the "Top 12 posts" listed by the Instagram search algorithm. The contents of each post, including the number of likes and followers, content type, poster role, post content, theme and type, account type, and accuracy of claims, were collected. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and comparisons were performed by using the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests (α=.05). RESULTS The search identified 4 541 867 implant-related posts. The 2 most used hashtags were #dentalimplants (n=1 478 770) and #implant (n=1 303 575). Authorship and content analysis showed that dentists, including specialists, posted about 42% of the posts. More than half of the posts were in the form of pictures (62.5%), self-promotional (77.8%), and used for marketing purposes (61.8%). Most posts were not supported by evidence, and only 27.8% shared clinical facts. However, compared with self-promotional posts, most educational posts shared clinical facts with more likes, views, and followers (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS More than 4 million posts related to implant dentistry were identified on Instagram. Dental interest groups and patients authored most posts, with less contribution from dentists and specialists. Social media awareness among dentists may enhance the number of educational posts and provide a novel platform for networking and communication.

Abstract
Background Diseases such as periodontitis and osteoporosis are expected to rise tremendously by 2050. Bone formation and remodeling are complex processes that are disturbed in a variety of diseases influenced by various hormones. Objective This study aimed to review and present the roles of various hormones that regulate bone remodeling of the craniofacial complex. Methods A literature search was conducted on PubMed and Google Scholar for studies related to hormones and jawbone. Search strategies included the combinations ("name of hormone" + "dental term") of the following terms: "hormones", "oxytocin", "estrogen", "adiponectin", "parathyroid hormone", "testosterone", "insulin", "angiotensin", "cortisol", and "erythropoietin", combined with a dental term "jaw bone", "alveolar bone", "dental implant", "jaw + bone regeneration, healing or repair", "dentistry", "periodontitis", "dry socket", "osteoporosis" or "alveolitis". The papers were screened according to the inclusion criteria from January 1, 2000 to March 31, 2021 in English. Publications included reviews, book chapters, and original research papers; in vitro studies, in vivo animal, or human studies, including clinical studies, and meta-analyses. Results Bone formation and remodeling is a complex continuous process involving many hormones. Bone volume reduction following tooth extractions and bone diseases, such as periodontitis and osteoporosis, cause serious problems and require a great understanding of the process. Conclusion Hormones are with us all the time, shape our development and regulate homeostasis. Newly discovered effects of hormones influencing bone healing open the possibilities of using hormones as therapeutics to combat bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Background:
The decision to save a compromised tooth is a major challenge among dentists and may vary among those with different areas of specialization.
Objective:
The objective of this study was to determine the influencing factors that play a role in decision-making trends when choosing whether or not to save a compromised tooth, either through endodontic treatment or extraction and implant placement.
Methods:
In this cross-sectional study, a questionnaire was administered to a convenience sample to assess decision-making within different dental specialties among various dental schools in Saudi Arabia. Participants were stratified into four groups based on clinical specialties, including endodontists (n = 45, 23.9%), periodontists (n = 51, 27.1%), prosthodontists (n = 55, 29.3%), and oral and maxillofacial surgeons (n = 37, 19.7%). The data of 188 participants were analyzed using Chi-square tests, with significance at p ≤ 0.05.
Results:
Endodontists were significantly more likely than other specialists (p ≤ 0.002) to decide to retain a compromised tooth rather than place an implant. In difficult prosthetic cases, faculty surgeons were significantly more likely to place an implant than other specialists (p ≤ 0.01).
Conclusion:
The assessment of decision-making trends demonstrated that retention of the natural tooth by endodontic and restorative treatments was preferred over extraction and implant placement. Increased prosthetic complexity shifted this preference towards implant placement. This study provides a basis to help identify factors contributing to decision-making among dental professionals; these factors could improve existing guidelines to ensure a successful practice.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this systematic review is to analyze the existing evidence on the quality of life of patients completely edentulous in the mandible. Materials and Methods: A search questionnaire was formulated using population intervention comparison outcome (PICO) analysis, and a comprehensive search was initiated in PubMed Central, Medline, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases for the related topics. Manuscripts published till December 2019 were included in this review. Out of the 63 articles obtained from searching all databases, 27 studies were excluded based on the title and abstract. Out of the remaining 36 studies, 12 were excluded based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria of our interest and 24 were included on the basis of core data. Results: One review author identified randomized trials meeting inclusion criteria for this review. Two review authors extracted data and assessed study quality. The oral health-related quality of life in completely edentulous mandibular patients wearing implant-supported overdentures was better when compared to conventional tissue-supported complete denture, and a minimum two implant-supported mandibular complete denture has sufficient improvement in oral health-related quality of life. Conclusion: There are about more than 170 reviews and clinical trials that have been published in support of the same for the past two decades. Thus, the clinicians may not be tempted in placing additional implants in well-formed mandibular edentulous ridges. To enhance the understanding of mandibular implant overdenture treatment, clinicians must scrutinize the existing evidence and formulate a protocol by striking a balance between efficient and evidence based treatment.

Abstract
To what extent does dental research on implant consultations focus on the use of shared decision making? There has been an explosion in the use of implant therapies in dentistry, but very little is known about the decision-making processes involved in the provision of dental implants. The use of shared decision making (SDM) has been found to reduce undesirable outcomes and increase patient and clinician satisfaction in other health care fields. This scoping review reports on the current status of SDM in research on implant therapies. A scoping review methodology was used. Web of Knowledge, MEDLINE via OvidSP, MEDLINE via PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane, DARE, and CINAHL databases were reviewed between 1900 and December 1, 2017. The search strategy resulted in 2,289 eligible articles; 1,892 duplicated articles were deleted, resulting in a hand search of 397 titles and abstracts. These were subsequently evaluated while applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 48 articles for full-text evaluation. After full-text evaluation of these 48 studies, a further 27 were eliminated as not being relevant, leading to the inclusion of 21 studies for the review. No studies to date have examined how patients and dentists engage in decisions to place dental implants. Aspects that were discussed in the literature related to the decision-making process included a discussion about patients' values and discussing possible treatment options. How patients and dentists interacted during implant consultations was poorly explored. Shared decision making has been shown to improve health care quality and increase clinician and patient satisfaction. Further research concerning dental implant decisions is warranted with emphasis on evaluating patients' contributions to treatment, which is currently poorly understood. Exploring existed methods for examining the SDM process in implant consultations should facilitate improve care and consent. Knowledge Transfer Statement: The findings of this scoping review can be used by all dentists when deciding which decision-making model they wish to use when planning implant therapy. The article places special emphasis on the role of shared decision making in improving health care quality and increasing patients' and clinicians' satisfaction.

Abstract
Contemporary techniques, as well as the availability of bioactive and adhesive materials in endodontics, have helped revivifying teeth that were deemed hopeless. These newer materials and techniques would enable the clinician: (a) to predictably stop microbial activity (b) to achieve a total corono-apical fluid tight seal and (c) to strengthen mutilated teeth by obtaining intra-radicular reinforcement through mono-block effect. This case report demonstrates the successful treatment of a mutilated anterior tooth with the use of bioactive and adhesive materials to obtain a total seal and mono-block effect. This article also shows the use of a simple method in the placement of root filling cement into the root canal.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the importance of a distal proximal contact on the
load transfer to the posterior region of the mandible by non-splinted adjacent
implant-supported crowns using photoelastic stress analysis. Material and Methods A rectangular model (68x30x15 mm) was made of polymethylmethacrylate resin to
simulate half of the mandibular arch. One model was completed with resin replicas
representing the first premolar and second molar and with two 3.75 mm dia.x11 mm
internal hexagon threaded implants replacing the second premolar and first molar.
The other model was manufactured in the same way but without the second molar.
Both models were duplicated using photoelastic resin. The roots of the teeth
replicas were covered with a layer of polyether impression material to simulate
the periodontal ligament. Two different vertical loads were applied to the crowns
as follows: 1 - single static point load alternately applied to the crowns
replacing the second premolar and first molar (50 N); 2 - simultaneous static
point loads applied to both of the crowns replacing the second premolar and first
molar (100 N). The resulting isochromatic fringe pattern in the photoelastic model
was monitored and photographed. Results All loading conditions studied showed that the presence of the second molar has
changed the load transmission and the pattern of stresses. Conclusion Results showed that the presence of a second molar proximal contact can help
minimize the stresses around the implants.

Abstract
The outcomes of both dental implants and endodontically treated teeth have been extensively studied. However, there is still a great controversy over when to keep a natural tooth and when to extract it for a dental implant. This article reviews the benefits and disadvantages of both treatment options and discusses success vs. survival outcomes, as well as the impact of technical advances for modern endodontics and endodontic microsurgery on the long-term prognosis of tooth retention.

Abstract
Prosthodontists face the difficult task of judging the influence and significance of multiple risk factors of periodontal, endodontic, or prosthetic origin that can affect the prognosis of an abutment tooth. The purpose of this review is to summarize the critical factors involved in deciding whether a questionable tooth should be treated and maintained, or extracted and possibly replaced by dental implants. A MEDLINE (PubMed) search of the English, peer-reviewed literature published from 1966 to August 2009 was conducted using different keyword combinations including treatment planning, in addition to decision making, periodontics, endodontics, dental implants, or prosthodontics. Further, bibliographies of all relevant papers and previous review articles were hand searched. Tooth maintenance and the acceptance of risks are suitable when: the tooth is not extensively diseased; the tooth has a high strategic value, particularly in patients with implant contraindications; the tooth is located in an intact arch; and the preservation of gingival structures is paramount. When complete-mouth restorations are planned, the strategic use of dental implants and smaller units (short-span fixed dental prostheses), either tooth- or implant-supported, as well as natural tooth abutments with good prognoses for long-span FDPs, is recommended to minimize the risk of failure of the entire restoration.
