Poster Title: Preparation of Dentin Surface with Erbium Laser
Poster Presenter: Dr. Yuliya Kozlova
Abstract: In modern minimally invasive dentistry, the question of adhesion of filling material to the hard tissue of the tooth is relevant. According to the World Health Organization, caries remains the main oral health disease. In the near future, the issue of increasing the longevity of restorations will become more significant as life expectancy continues to rise. Secondary caries and postoperative hypersensitivity remain as complications after composite fillings. Dr Yuliya will present the results of an in vitro study comparing microleakage between the dentin surface and bonding, after etching the dentin with orthophosphoric acid and Er,Cr:YSGG laser, using different generations of adhesive systems.
Poster Title: A comparison of CAD/CAM-based fixed retainers versus conventional fixed retainers in orthodontic patients: A systematic review
Poster Presenter: Dr. Erfan Bardideh
Abstract: The poster focuses on comparing CAD/CAM fixed retainers and conventional fixed retainers in orthodontic patients through a systematic review and meta-analysis. The objective was to assess their effectiveness by analyzing tooth stability, periodontal status, failure rates, and patient-reported outcomes. The review included seven randomized controlled trials with 601 participants. In the short term (≤6 months), no significant differences were found in intercanine distance or arch length between CAD/CAM and conventional fixed retainers in mandibular retainers. However, CAD/CAM retainers showed a slight advantage with a smaller change in Little's Irregularity Index (LII) compared to conventional retainers. CAD/CAM retainers also exhibited a lower plaque index but no significant difference in gingival index. Failure rates were similar, except for one study with a high number of CAD/CAM retainer failures. Overall, CAD/CAM fixed retainers were considered a viable alternative to conventional retainers, particularly in the mandible, but more research is needed to determine their long-term stability and effectiveness, especially in the maxillary arch.

Poster Title: Understanding student perception of online tooth morphology teaching
Poster Presenter: Dr. Susha Rajadurai
Abstract: The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and enforced national lockdowns in the United Kingdom resulted in a suspension of face-to-face lessons in dental schools. This mandated staff to creatively employ distance learning techniques to contemporize how subjects are taught in dental schools. One such subject is tooth morphology (dental anatomy), a crucial and challenging foundational subject of the dental sciences. Following the return to campus, tooth morphology foundational theory remained as synchronous online learning (SOL) , while consecutive practical learning activities resumed on campus, in-person laboratory sessions. When reflecting upon these innovative efforts, an important question arose on learning gains and effectiveness of learning tooth morphology on an online platform. This study aimed to assess staff and students lived experience and perceptions towards novel educational techniques that combined conventional with novel digital resources and modelling techniques when teaching and learning tooth morphology online.
Poster Title: Accuracy of immediately placed implants using 3D-printed surgical guides from different manufacturers
Poster Presenter: Jeremy Pitman
Abstract: Achieving an optimal 3D position for immediate implant placement is technically challenging given the limited apical and palatal bone volume available after tooth extraction (Christiaens et al., 2020). Additionally, immediate implants should ideally be placed without flap elevation (Pitman et al., 2023), which hampers visual control. The use of 3D-printed surgical guides may facilitate more accurate and predictable implant positioning. The increasing affordability of 3D printers has led to in-house fabricated guides instead of outsourcing to a dental lab or an implant company. Yet there is currently no literature comparing the accuracy of in-house fabricated guides to those from a lab or a company.

Poster Title: Effect of water sorption on the aesthetics of orthodontic clear thermoplastic materials
Poster Presenter: Prof. Liliana Porojan
Abstract: Increased aesthetic requirements direct us more and more towards various types of clear thermoplastic polymers for orthodontic appliances. Polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PET-G) materials are promising and extensively used in dental field due to their excellent mechanical and optical properties. The purpose of the study was to assess the aesthetic characteristics of PET-G thermoplastic dental materials relative to water sorption. The following PET-G polyester thermoplastic materials were evaluated in this study: Crystal® (Bio Art Dental Equipment, Sao Carlos, Brazil), Duran® (Scheu-Dental GmbH, Iserlohn, Germany), Erkodur (Erkodent, Pfalzgrafenweiler, Germany), and Leone (Leone SpA, Firenze, Italy). For all four materials, tests for water absorption and solubility were performed. Surface roughness was analyzed and nanosurface topographic characterization was made by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Optical parameters and color change values were calculated and statistical analyses performed. The specific weight of the studied PETG materials increases significant within the first 12 hours of water exposure. Related to the optical properties, positive correlations were found between optical parameters TP and OP, and chromatic coordinates a* and b* during water uptake. Slight color changes were registered according to NBS levels. Surface roughness values increased with the water uptake, but they were kept within clinically acceptable limits. An increase of inhomogeneity in the network structure of particles was shown on AFM images.

Poster Title: Implant Health Matters: A Closer Look at Peri-Implantitis
Poster Presenter: Safwat AlNahhas
Abstract: Dental implants are recognized as a favorable solution for addressing tooth loss, boasting notably high success and survival rates. Despite the success rates of dental implants, peri-implantitis presents as the most common complication in implant dentistry. Peri-implantitis can manifest clinical signs of increasing probing depths, suppuration, draining sinus, and peri-implant mucosal swelling or recession. If peri-implantitis was not detected early and treated, the bony destruction could extend the whole length of the implant, resulting in loss of implant stability.
Peri-implantitis treatments can be divided into nonsurgical (mechanical, antiseptic, and antibiotics), surface decontamination (chemical and laser), and surgical (air powder abrasive, resective, and regenerative). Moreover, it is emphasized that implant placement in individuals with periodontal disease necessitates a comprehensive assessment and stabilization of periodontal health before treatment.
This review delves into the etiology, diagnostic criteria, use of AI in detecting risk of peri-implantitis and newer treatment modalities for peri-implantitis.
