Nanoparticles in Dentistry: Applications and Future Perspectives | Chapter 14 | Medical Science: Recent Advances and Applications Vol. 11

Nanoparticles have emerged as a transformative innovation in dentistry, offering unique physicochemical properties that enhance diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic outcomes. Their high surface-to-volume ratio, antimicrobial activity, and ability to interact at the molecular level have enabled wide-ranging applications across restorative dentistry, endodontics, periodontics, implantology, and oral medicine. Silver, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and calcium phosphate nanoparticles have shown promise in combating oral biofilms, preventing secondary caries, improving adhesion in restorative materials, and enhancing remineralisation of dental tissues. In implantology, nanoparticle coatings contribute to osseointegration and infection resistance, while in periodontics, nanocarriers facilitate targeted drug delivery and regenerative therapies. Despite these advances, challenges remain regarding biocompatibility, long-term stability, controlled release, and potential toxicity. Future research is expected to focus on smart nanoparticle systems with stimuli-responsive behaviours, multifunctional composites, and personalised nanodentistry tailored to individual patient needs. Overall, nanoparticles hold significant potential to revolutionize dental practice, improving both clinical efficacy and patient outcomes.

Long-term Follow-up of BioHorizons® Implants, Placed by Postgraduate Students at the University of Barcelona, Spain | Chapter 2 | Medicine and Medical Research: New Perspectives Vol. 10

The study aimed to evaluate the survival and failure rate, in the short- and medium-term, in addition to its relationship with risk factors, in implants placed by postgraduate students of the Master of Medicine, Surgery, and Oral Implantology course from the University of Barcelona. The success of dental implants is related to both the surgical technique and a series of factors that can contribute to their failure over the short term. Insufficient crestal bone height or width can require regenerative surgeries that sometimes occur simultaneously with implant placement, and can lead to complications, such as soft tissue dehiscence, infections, or insufficient final bone quality. The study was designed by including 192 patients with 422 implants placed between 2015 and 2018. Variables of implant failure were evaluated and related. Failure was split into early failure and late failure. Descriptive statistical parameters were used to evaluate the variables, which included standard deviation and percentage distribution. The chi-squared test was used to compare the qualitative data, with p = 0.05 considered as a significant value, expressed in frequency distribution tables. Qualitative data were compared using the chi-squared test, taking p ≤ 0.05 as a significant value. The comparison of quantitative variables was carried out using the Student’s t-test for independent samples. The survival rate in a period of 6 months to 3 years was 97.87%. The mean age of the patients was (54.5 ± 13), and the largest number of implants were placed in the 51–60 age range. The failure rate was 2.13% (N = 9), 6 failed early and 3 failed after definitive prosthetic loading, with a p value < 0.0001. When comparing the failures according to their location in the anterior/posterior sector of the arch, the anterior sector showed statistically significant results (p = 0.027). Evaluating this risk factor in isolation is difficult, as other factors are in play that when taken in combination, lead to a worse prognosis of success and survival for implants. These include the patient’s systemic condition and smoking habit. Failed implants had a statistically significant relationship when they were placed in the anterior sector and were performed in the early stage. The results showed that the survival and failure rates of implants placed by postgraduate students are similar to those obtained by experienced professionals, being an effective and predictable therapy for partially or edentulous patients.

Noise Pollution in Dental Education: Health Risks and Mitigation Strategies | Chapter 5 | New Ideas Concerning Arts and Social Studies Vol. 2

Dental professionals are exposed to various occupational hazards, including noise pollution caused by dental instruments, particularly high-speed handpieces. Since their introduction in the late 1950s, concerns have been raised about their impact on auditory health, as prolonged exposure to high noise levels can lead to both auditory effects (such as hearing impairment, tinnitus, and acoustic trauma) and extra-auditory effects (including stress, cardiovascular issues, cognitive impairment, sleep disturbances, and risks during pregnancy). The acoustic environment in dental education is especially affected due to the simultaneous use of multiple devices, with studies showing noise levels in preclinical training rooms ranging from 69 dB to 81 dB—close to or exceeding the 80 dB threshold set by international standards for preventive action. Factors such as noise intensity, frequency, exposure duration, and individual susceptibility influence the degree of risk. To mitigate these effects, it is essential to implement noise reduction strategies at three levels: at the source (using quieter, well-maintained equipment and limiting unnecessary noise), during propagation (with acoustic treatments like absorbent materials and soundproof barriers), and through individual protection (including earplugs, noise-canceling headphones, and regular audiometric tests). Additionally, using sound level meters to monitor exposure and integrating haptic simulators for silent learning are recommended approaches to improve acoustic comfort and ensure a safer, healthier educational environment in dental schools.

Quality Assessment of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) for Management of Paediatric Dental Emergencies Applicable (PDEA) during COVID-19 Pandemic | Chapter 9 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 9

 Utilizing the measurement tool AGREE II, the current study assesses the effectiveness of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) for the COVID-19 pandemic's care of paediatric dental emergencies (Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation in Europe).

We did a comprehensive web search for CPG among the best CPG compilers. In order to discover CPG that meet the inclusion criteria, a thorough search was also done among the major national and worldwide dental organisations as well as reliable websites.

According to AGREE II, five (05) out of the twenty-three (23) selected CPG were rated as "acceptable." The "Recommendation degree" of these five guides was assessed.

The AUGE clinical guide for ambulatory dental emergencies—Chile, 2011—was the only CPG that met the quality evaluation criteria and recommendation degree of the AGREEII instrument, and it was exclusively relevant to Spanish-speaking countries. It would be wise to write this manual in English since it is a universal tongue. Using the AGREE II quality assessment and recommendation degrees criteria, high, average, and low quality CPG were identified. Only one CPG received the label "highly recommended" with a score of 75% or higher. Therefore, it is proposed that both current and future CPG updates develop them utilising the available tools and methods in order to ensure their quality.

Integrated Dental Curriculum and Credit Hours | Chapter 9 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 11

 Many researchers believe that immunosenescence is to blame for the higher mortality seen in the elderly population during the current SARS-CoV 2 pandemic. SARS-CoV 2 infection causes a variety of symptoms, ranging from asymptomatic mild instances to more serious presentations. Primary immune cell defects and dysfunctions are thought to be the most crucial component in people who acquire the more serious version of the disease. These flaws could be in the PRRs of Dendritic cells' effective and early identification of PAMPs, or in the monocytes' and macrophages' delayed and hyper-inflammatory cytokine release in the lungs. The innate immune system response is currently being touted as a key element in illness prognosis. Even though immunosenescence is thought to be permanent, it is a dynamic process that can be reconditioned and improved. Gold nanoparticles (GNP), which have lately been explored for their ability to act as carriers of vaccinations and chemotherapeutic medicines, are one agent that can reinvigorate the ageing immune system. GNP treatment in rats resulted in an increase in lymphocyte cell populations as well as dendritic cell and macrophage activation. Because immunosenescence induces a reduction of naive T and B cells, GNP may be beneficial. Dendritic cells and macrophages that recognise PAMPs better may be able to generate a more effective response to the invading virus. For millennia, India has employed elemental gold compositions to treat ailments ranging from fevers to memory loss to senility. Because some formulations are suggested for infants, their safety is unquestionable. Such formulations, when modified appropriately, can play a critical role in oral vaccinations against not only Covid 19, but a wide spectrum of other influenza viruses.

Diagnosis of Dental and Mandibular Pathologies from Orthopantomography | Chapter 9 | Current Approaches in Science and Technology Research Vol. 15

The current study focuses on the diagnostic value of Orthopantomography and the various pathologies that can be seen in panoramic radiographs. For many years, orthopantomography (OPG) has been proven to be effective in dentistry, and it often provides a valuable alternative to the supplementary evidence provided by routine radiological techniques. OPG has found to be quite useful when several dental pathologies are suspected, as well as a cystic or neoplastic disease in the maxillary or mandibular region. In the event of trauma, a full evaluation, as well as pre- and post-operative evaluation, is required.
