(1) Background. Nanotechnology offers significant alternative ways to solve scientific, medical, and human health issues. Dental biomaterials were improved by nanotechnology. It manufactures better materials or improves the existing ones and forms the basis of novel methods for disease diagnosis and prevention. Modern nanotechnology makes oral health care services more acceptable for patients. Nanotechnology is now important area of research, covering a broad range of applications in dentistry. (2) Methods. Relevant literature from Scopus published in English was selected using the keywords “nanoparticle” and “dentistry”. To the selected articles we applied the inclusion and exclusion criteria to choose the relevant ones. (3) Results. Based on the relevant articles, a literature review was prepared. This review provides an insight into the applications of nanotechnology in various branches of dentistry. We applied several regression models to fit number of papers versus time and chose the best one. We used it to construct the forecast and its 95%-confidence interval for the number of publications in 2022–2026. (4) Conclusions. It shows that a significant rise in papers is expected. This review familiarizes dentists with properties and benefits of nanomaterials and nanotechnology. Additionally, it can help scientists to consider the direction of their research and to plan prospective research projects.
The aim: To evaluate the recent scientific articles concerning peculiarities of this oral pathology. The goal is to carry out a literature review by evaluating all signs and clinical symptoms related to this disease, so as to provide the clinician with a useful tool for an early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Materials and methods: The collection of relevant data were done using the scientific databases Pubmed, Google Scholar. A manual search on Dentistry and Pharmacological sources was also conducted for relevant studies published. The selected key words: (“Herpes virus” OR “HSV”) AND (“oral” OR “oral lesions”) were used for collecting the data. Conclusions: The article presents clinical peculiarities of herpetic stomatitis depending on disease severity and course. Primary herpetic stomatitis appears as spherical clustered vesicles on the gingival and adjacent mucosa. Soon after eruption of elements of lesion they rupture forming painful halo like aphtae / ulcers. Typical symptoms are: pain from ruptured vesicles, lymphadenitis, fever etc. Early diagnosis of disease is important and treatment with antiviral medicaments can modify the course of the disease by reducing symptoms and potentially reducing recurrences. Management of acute herpetic stomatitis include antiviral medicaments intake, maintenance of fluids and electrolytes level in a body. The treatment principles based on etiotropic, pathogenetic and symptomatic therapy are considered in manuscript.
Background. The importance of fluorides in caries prevention is discussed in the article and practical recommendations for the use of fluoride containing products are presented. Objectives. The primary objective of this systematic review is to assess the evidence on the comparative effectiveness of topical fluoride therapy (TFT) in the form of toothpastes, mouth rinses, gels and varnishes in prevention of dental caries in children and adolescents. Methods. A systematic electronic literature search was conducted in the PubMed and Web of Science databases using search terms. Current reports in the literature concerning means and methods of use of fluoride-containing medications are considered. Results. A large number of scientific studies, reviews based on them and meta-analyses conclude that the central element of caries prevention, on which the decrease in caries prevalence and caries experience is based, is the regular topical use of fluoride medications for oral cavity. Conclusions. Topical use of fluorides is a key element in successful caries prevention.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
