Fractures: Bone Repair01:27

Fractures: Bone Repair

5.8K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

2.3K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Overview of Regeneration and Repair

4.7K
Regeneration and repair processes are critical in healing damages caused by injury, disease, and aging. In regeneration, the damaged tissue is entirely replaced with new growth that restores the original architecture and function. In contrast, tissue repair usually results in a fixed tissue architecture involving scar formation. Scars generally do not reestablish tissue function and may also exhibit structural abnormalities at the injury site.

Healing I: Introduction

9
Healing is the physiological process by which the body restores the integrity and function of damaged tissues following injury. It involves a coordinated interplay of cellular proliferation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and growth factor signaling. The extent and nature of the tissue damage determine whether healing occurs by resolution, regeneration, or replacement.ResolutionResolution represents the most complete form of healing, occurring when the injury is minimal and tissue...

Base Excision Repair01:54

Base Excision Repair

20.3K
One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.
The first step of...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This systematic review found no published randomized controlled trials on repairing versus replacing defective resin composite restorations in adults. Further high-quality trials are needed to guide clinical decisions for dental restoration repair and replacement.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Materials Science
  • Evidence-Based Dentistry
  • Systematic Review Methodology

Background:

  • Defective resin composite restorations in permanent molars and premolars are common in adult dentistry.
  • Clinical decisions regarding repair versus replacement of these restorations are often based on limited evidence.
  • A clear understanding of the efficacy and patient experience of repair versus replacement is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review published randomized controlled trials comparing the repair versus replacement of defective resin composite restorations in adult permanent molar and premolar teeth.
  • To identify methodologically sound research addressing this clinical question.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive search of multiple databases (Cochrane Oral Health Group's Trials Register, CENTRAL, Medline, Embase, BIOSIS, Web of Science, Opengrey) was conducted.
  • Unpublished and ongoing studies were sought through contact with researchers and experts.
  • Two independent reviewers assessed study eligibility, extracted data, and synthesized findings according to Cochrane Collaboration guidelines.

Main Results:

  • The search identified 298 potentially eligible studies.
  • Upon detailed examination, none of the retrieved studies met the inclusion criteria for this review.
  • No relevant published randomized controlled trials were found.

Conclusions:

  • There is a significant lack of high-quality randomized controlled trials on the repair versus replacement of defective resin composite restorations.
  • Methodologically sound trials, adhering to Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guidelines, are urgently required.
  • Future research should also qualitatively explore patient perspectives on repair versus replacement, including factors like pain, anxiety, time, and cost.
