The Carious Lesion: From Microbial Etiology to Clinical Excellence in Restoration The carious lesion, defined as the outcome of the progressive destruction of the tooth’s mineralized tissues (enamel and dentin), is a chronic infectious process. The World Health Organization classifies it as the most widespread non-communicable infectious pathology globally. Despite advances in prevention strategies, its
Advanced Oral Surgery: Practical Training is essential Achieving operational excellence in the field of Specialized Dental Surgery requires a training pathway that transcends the mere acquisition of theoretical notions. The professional who intends to address the most complex clinical pictures must develop rigorous manual dexterity, indispensable for intervening in high-difficulty scenarios and minimizing iatrogenic risk.
The Evolution of Competence: The Dentist and Facial Aesthetic Medicine The field of dentistry has radically transformed its role, exceeding the sole curative and functional dimension to become a fundamental pillar in the aesthetic harmonization of the facial complex. The modern concept of the smile is indissolubly linked to the aesthetics of the perioral contour
From Mind to Hand: The Balance in Dental Didactics The dental training sector is undergoing a profound evolution, dictated by the increasingly massive adoption of cutting-edge technologies such as “Virtual Reality (VR)” and “Artificial Intelligence (AI)”. The primary objective of this didactic renewal is definitely not to replace manual ability, but rather to create a
The “Caries Risk” in Pediatric Dentistry (Pedodontics) Pedodontic Competence: Prerequisite for Long-Term Stomatognathic Integrity Dentistry dedicated to the developmental age is configured not as simple treatment, but as an essential strategy for establishing the robustness and functional duration of the entire stomatognathic apparatus. The primary purpose of the specialized action is to ensure that infantile
Aesthetic Prosthetic Restorations: the evolution of veneers Laminate restorations, universally known as “veneers”, today represent the apex of aesthetic micro-prosthetics, radically transforming the perception and realization of smile harmony. No longer simple temporary covers, these thin ceramic laminates are definitive, high-quality solutions, essential for achieving a result that is both functional and visually impeccable, acting
The Silent Crisis: The Global Impact of Periodontitis and Edentulism and the Crucial Role of Specialist Odontoiatric Training Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory condition caused by the dysbiosis of the microbial biofilm, stands as the principal motivation behind dental loss among adults, acting through the progressive destruction of supporting tissues, such as alveolar bone and the
Classifications and predictability of implant restoration The long-term predictability of an implant restoration is directly proportional to the ability to achieve excellent primary stability. This crucial biomechanical condition, which acts as an essential precursor for subsequent osseointegration, depends entirely on the structural quality and density of the recipient site, especially when high-demand protocols, such as
Endodontics: From Complex Anatomy to Successful Dental Preservation The preservation of the natural tooth, a cornerstone objective of modern dentistry, finds its most sophisticated stronghold in endodontics. This specialized branch is not limited to the mere eradication of pathologies (often the result of deep caries or traumatic events leading to necrosis or irreversible pulpitis), but
From FDA Guidelines to Educational Ethics: The Rise of Synthetic Models in 3R Dentistry Clinical training and scientific research in the dental field are currently guided by a dual and essential commitment: guaranteeing the safety and functionality of biomaterials and rigorously adhering to the highest ethical standards. This commitment is realized through the systematic application
