Mapping oral cancer research in South Africa
(South African Dental Association, 2018)
The aim of the present study was to review the scope of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) research in South Africa, including its epidemiology, diagnosis, associated risk factors and management. All publications relating ...
Outcomes of mandibular Kennedy Class I and II prosthetic rehabilitation - an observational study
(The South African Dental Association, 2019)
Loss of teeth may have a negative impact on appearance, nutrition and function. Removable prostheses for mandibular distal extension areas have been associated with more negative outcomes than with tooth bounded saddles.
Surgical placement of implants – experiences, practices and opinions of South African Prosthodontists
(2012-04)
It is generally accepted that dental implant-treatment is "restorative" driven: the virtual blueprint of a prosthesis determines the position and number of implants to be placed. Competent interdisciplinary team-work is ...
Fracture resistance of endodontically treated premolars with fibre-reinforced composite restorations.
(Dennis Barber Ltd, 2011-03)
This study investigated the fracture resistance and failure mode of endodontically treated premolars
restored with a glass fibre-reinforced composite resin. Endodontically treated maxillary premolars were divided in 4 ...
Analyzing Complete Denture Occlusal Contacts: Accuracy and Reliability
(Quintessence Publishing, 2016-02)
The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy and reliability of interpreting occlusal markings made by articulating paper on complete dentures intraorally. Clinical teachers at a training hospital interpreted ...
Descriptive epidemiology of salivary gland neoplasms in Nigeria: An AOPRC multicenter tertiary hospital study
(Wiley, 2018)
Objectives
Accurate diagnosis of salivary gland neoplasms (SGN) in many centers in Africa is limited by poor diagnostic resources and ancillary services. Hence, we have carried out a multicenter epidemiological study to ...
Ion release of chitosan and nanodiamond modified glass ionomer restorative cements
(UWC, 2019)
Purpose: Ion release from glass ionomer restorative cements (GICs) plays an important role in GICs. The ion release from chitosan and nanodiamond-modified glass ionomers was assessed. Materials and methods: Three GICs (Fuji ...
In vitro analysis of techniques that alter the surface hardness of a glass ionomer restorative material
(Original research, 2019)
Glass ionomer cement as restorative materials are advantageous in pediatric restorative dentistry. The main advantages of GIC include
fluoride release up to 50 μg/cm and a chemical adhesion to the tooth structure
Comparison of a piezoelectric and a standard surgical handpiece in third molar surgery
(UWC, 2019)
Aim: The aim was to compare the use of a piezoelectric hand piece versus a standard surgical handpiece in removal of impacted third molars under general anaesthesia. Materials and methods: Thirty patients undergoing routine ...
Systems biology approaches and precision oral health: a circadian clock perspective
(Frontiers, 2019)
A vast majority of the pathophysiological and metabolic processes in humans are temporally controlled by a master circadian clock located centrally in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus of the brain, as well as by ...
