Health complaints before and at one and five years after removal of dental amalgam restorations - data from a prospective cohort study in Norway
CONCLUSION: After removal of all amalgam restorations, both local and general health complaints were reduced. Since blinding of the treatment was not possible, specific and non-specific treatment effects cannot be separated.PMID:38699922 | DOI:10.2340/aos.v83.40260 (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)

Skeletal maturation evaluation: which is the reliability of dental calcification Demirjian method versus hand-wrist X-ray in growing subjects? A systematic review
Conclusions: The mandibular second molar might be considered as the best indicator compared to other teeth and that the peak of growth occurs no earlier than stage F in females and stage G in males according to Demirjian method. Also, the mandibular canine might be analysed as indicator of SM in males, and results suggest that the peak of growth occurs no earlier than maturation stage F according to Demirjian method, only in male subjects. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.PMID:38699981 | DOI:10.2340/aos.v83.40485 (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)

Retrospective comparative clinical study on clinical effect of suture micromarsupialization on ranula
Conclusions: Suture micromarsupialisation is a conservative therapeutic method for intraoral ranula. The cure rate of suture micromarsupialisation is similar to that of traditional surgery. It is recommended to use this technique as a first-line conservative therapeutic method for intraoral ranula, as it has the advantages of minimal invasion, simple operation, no pain, no need for haemostasis and no complications.PMID:38700248 | DOI:10.2340/aos.v83.40492 (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)

Dental patients' tinnitus profile: prevalence, types, and associated factors with oral and maxillofacial diseases
CONCLUSION: There may be an association between oral and maxillofacial diseases and tinnitus, especially bruxism and toothache. Therefore, the evaluation of these conditions may be a routine part of tinnitus management.PMID:38682700 | DOI:10.2340/aos.v83.40572 (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)

Radiological features and treatment of erupting maxillary canines in relation to the occurrence of dental developmental abnormalities

Impact of acquisition volume on cone beam computed tomography imaging of marginal bone: an ex vivo study
CONCLUSIONS: Accuracy of measurements of bone loss shows no clinical noticeable effects depending on the CBCT volume in this ex vivo study. There appears to be no relevant advantage of SV over LV, neither in HD-CBCT nor in LD-CBCT and additionally no relevant advantage of HD versus LD in visualizing marginal bone loss.PMID:38661245 | DOI:10.2340/aos.v83.40494 (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)
