Presence of nickel in dental bone replacement grafts and barrier membranes. A review of the literature and analysis of commercially available biomaterials

Aim: To review the potential risks associated with the use of bone grafting materials in relation to their nickel content and analyze the elemental makeup of commonly used bone grafts and barrier membranes in dentistry, specifically the concentration of nickel within these materials. Materials and methods: Analysis of the individual dental bone grafting materials was performed with a high-resolution energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometer. Eight different varieties of bone grafts and variety of barrier membranes were analyzed. Results: All bone grafts and barrier membranes analyzed...

Are Surgical Root Coverage Procedures Effective for Controling Cervical Dentin Hypersensibility? A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Are Surgical Root Coverage Procedures Effective for Controling Cervical Dentin Hypersensibility? A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Aim: The aim of this study was to review the efficacy of surgical root coverage for reducing cervical dentin hypersensitivity (CDH), when associated with gingival recession. Materials and methods: The PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Virtual Health Library databases were searched until September 2020. Randomized clinical trials related to dentinal hypersensitivity, before and after surgery, were included. The methodological quality of the studies was determined through an...

Gingival inflammation in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Gingival inflammation in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Aims: This systematic review aimed to compare the gingival status of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) to those without CP. Materials and methods: Nine databases were searched up to May 2020 for observational studies that evaluated the periodontal status of patients with and without CP. Risk of bias between studies was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools. Random effects meta-analysis was performed. Results: The search provided 425 results, from which...

Proven Primary Prevention Strategies for Plaque-Induced Periodontal Disease – An Umbrella Review
Proven Primary Prevention Strategies for Plaque-Induced Periodontal Disease – An Umbrella Review

Aim: The aim of this umbrella review was to provide a summary of the findings based on the highest level of evidence from published systematic reviews to identify proven, self-administered interventions to prevent periodontal disease. Methods: A search for systematic reviews and meta-analyses was conducted using the following search terms: systematic review, periodontal disease, periodontitis, gingivitis, and primary prevention. Outcomes included indices for dental plaque (oral biofilm),...
