- Presence of gingival recession or noncarious cervical lesions on teeth under occlusal trauma: a systematic reviewPublication . Tróia, Pedro Maria Bastião Peliz Senos; Spuldaro, Tobias Rauber; Fonseca, Patrícia Alexandra Barroso da; Fernandes, Gustavo Vicentis de OliveiraThe goal of this research was to carry out a systematic review to verify the possible influence of occlusal factors on the occurrence of gingival recession and noncarious cervical lesions. To answer the specific research question—whether gingival recession or noncarious cervical lesions on teeth are present under occlusal trauma—a bibliographic search was conducted at MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, and Gray Literature databases focusing on articles published, following strict inclusion cri- teria based on randomized clinical trials, controlled clinical studies, and case series, with restricted language (English) and publication date between March 2010 and March 2020, considering patients with occlusal trauma and gingival recession/non-carious cervical injuries. Questionnaires, animal or laboratory studies, case reports, and interviews were excluded. First, the title and/or abstract of the articles obtained were analyzed and, finally, a full-text reading was performed. Given the amount and diversity of the final studies, a qualitative analysis was made. Based on the established criteria, it was possible to obtain an initial 757 articles. After screening, five articles were included, and then qualitative analysis was performed. The results described in the articles were different, given the heterogeneity of the articles subjected to analysis. A few studies were published in the past 10 years, suggesting that the traumatic occlusion seems to be associated with the occurrence of the noncarious cervical lesion while it is not possible to arrive at a conclusion with regard to the association of gingival recession and occlusaltrauma.
- CAD/CAM education in dental medicine courses of Portugal and SpainPublication . Marques, Marina; Araújo, Filipe; Fonseca, Patricia; Campos, J. C. Reis; Correia, AndréAim: to analyse how CAD/CAM technology is included in the dental education curricula of dental schools in Portugal and Spain. Methods: a survey was distributed by e-mail to all Professors of Prosthodontics in Higher Education Institutions of Dental Medicine in the Iberian Peninsula. Response rate was 48% (total: 12 institutions). Results: CAD/CAM technology is covered in the training of future Dentists in the Iberian Peninsula, although at a reduced level. Most of students have access to CAD/CAM systems, within the Institution. However, in Portugal it is used only in specific situations, while in Spain it is used more routinely. The most common CAD/CAM materials used in Portugal are lithium disilicate, zirconia and metals. In Spain, it is also used alumina, leucite, feldspathic ceramics and composites for indirect restorations. Although CAD/CAM technology is taught in different graduation levels in Dentistry, it is considered that Portuguese and Spanish graduation level students are not able to use it without additional training. In a post-graduation level, there is a difference between students in both countries.
