Cochrane Collaboration Systematic Reviews may be based on trials not approved by a research ethics committee
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-27)
Systematic reviews (SR) may potentially contain reports of primary trials with ethical problems. The Cochrane Collaboration SRs are considered as the highest standard in evidence-based health care resources. All SRs completed during the last 5 years (2013–2017) under the management of the Oral Health Group of the Cochrane Collaboration were identified. All primary trials included in the Oral Health ...

Secondary caries and microleakage
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-28)
Objectives: To critically appraise experimental ex vivo research that has focused on secondary caries, and to offer possible explanations for the seemingly poor correlation to clinical observations.
<p>Methods: The literature relating to the etiopathogenesis or prevention of secondary caries gained from experimental ex vivo research was reviewed, with particular emphasis on microleakage and ...
Group 1 ITI Consensus Report: The influence of implant length and design and medications on clinical and patient-reported outcomes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-17)
<p><i>Objectives</i>: The aim of Working Group 1 was to address the influence of different local (implant length, diameter, and design) and systemic (medications) factors on clinical, radiographic, and patient‐reported outcomes in implant dentistry. Focused questions on (a) short posterior dental implants (≤6 mm), (b) narrow diameter implants, (c) implant design (tapered compared to a non‐tapered ...
Investigational Clinical Trial of a Prototype Optoelectronic Computer-Aided Navigation Device for Dental Implant Surgery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06)
Purpose: New digital technologies enable real-time computer-aided (CA) three-dimensional (3D) guidance during dental implant surgery. The aim of this investigational clinical trial was to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of a prototype optoelectronic CA-navigation device in comparison with the conventional approach for planning and effecting dental implant surgery. Materials and Methods: ...
