Clinical effectiveness of space maintainers and regainers in mixed dentition: A systemic review
The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of space maintainers and space regainers in preventing and correcting dental arch reductions in children during the mixed dentition phase. Mixed dentition is a transitional period where both primary (baby) and permanent teeth are present, often leading to dental crowding or arch space […]
Laser Treatment for dentinal hypersensitivity
Dentinal hypersensitivity is a common dental condition characterized by a sharp, transient pain that occurs in response to various external stimuli, such as cold, heat, osmotic changes, tactile sensations, or chemical exposure.
