These materials have some clinically relevant limitations due to their lack of fracture toughness, especially when used in larger cavities with high volume factors or when utilized as direct or indirect overlays or crown restorations. Recently, short-fiber-reinforced composite materials have been used in bi-structure restorations as a dentine substituting material due to their superior mechanical properties; however, there is no scientific consensus as to whether they can be used as full restorations. The aim of our review was to examine the available literature and gather scientific evidence on this matter. Two independent authors performed a thorough literature search using PubMed and ScienceDirect up until December 2023. This study followed the PRISMA guidelines, and the risk of bias was assessed using the QUIN tool. The authors selected in vitro studies that used short-fiber-reinforced composite materials as complete restorations, with a conventional composite material as a comparison group. Out of 2079 potentially relevant articles, 16 met our inclusion criteria. All of the included studies reported that the usage of short-fiber-reinforced composites improved the restoration’s load-bearing capacity. Fifteen of the included publications examined the fracture pattern, and thirteen of them reported a more favorable fracture outcome for the short-fiber-reinforced group. Only one article reported a more favorable fracture pattern for the control group; however, the difference between groups was not significant. Within the limitations of this review, the evidence suggests that short-fiber-reinforced composites can be used effectively as complete restorations to reinforce structurally compromised teeth.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2073-4360}, orcid-numbers = {Palkovics, Dániel/0000-0001-6398-1836; Braunitzer, Gábor/0000-0001-8983-5175; Garoushi, Sufyan/0000-0001-9457-2314; Fráter, Márk Tibor/0000-0002-0365-1613} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:34551935, title = {Altered multisensory integration in pediatric migraine without aura}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34551935}, author = {Eördegh, Gabriella and Braunitzer, Gábor and Tót, Kálmán and Kiss, Ádám and Kóbor, Jenő Dezső and Nagy, Attila}, booktitle = {International Neuroscience Conference, Pécs 2024}, unique-id = {34551935}, abstract = {Alterations of visual processing in migraine are well known.

The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the accuracy of osteotomy and apicoectomy performed through a polymer guide, with both drill and trephine, and to compare the accuracy achievable with the two instruments. Six plaster models of a maxilla master model with extracted human maxillary teeth in polymethyl-methacrylate resin were used. The modeled osteotomies were performed in these. The master model was CBCT-scanned, and digital surgical plans were prepared, based on which the surgical guides were printed. The plans contained both drill and trephine apicoectomies. Digital three-dimensional position analysis was performed with dedicated algorithms. A total of 39 drill and 47 trephine osteotomies were analyzed. A statistically significant difference between the two instruments was found only in the global deviation of the distal endpoint, indicating lower deviation for the trephine procedure (1.53 mm vs. 1.31 mm, p = 0.038).

Descriptive and linear regression analyses were conducted. Results: The study included participants from 41 practices. Factors significantly influencing satisfaction and loyalty included location convenience, treatment quality, trust in dentists’ decisions, visit frequency satisfaction, clear treatment explanations, dentist’s interest in symptoms, patient-dental personnel attachment, and dentist’s knowledge of the patient and their medical records. While overall agreement between patients and dentists was high, some areas exhibited notable disagreement. Conclusions: The findings mostly align with existing literature, underscoring the importance of communication, trust, and a personal patient-dentist relationship in promoting satisfaction and loyalty.

This association, however, has not been investigated extensively in the special context of in-stent restenosis. This study aimed to investigate the periodontal status of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for restenotic lesions. Methods and Results: We enrolled 90 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and 90 age- and gender-matched healthy controls in the present study. All subjects received a full-mouth examination by a periodontist. Plaque index, periodontal status, and tooth loss were determined. The periodontal state was significantly worse (p < 0.0001) in the PCI group, and each periodontal stage increased the odds of belonging to the PCI group. This effect of PD was independent of diabetes mellitus, another strong risk factor for CAD. The PCI group was further divided into two subgroups: PCI for restenotic lesions (n = 39) and PCI for de novo lesions (n = 51). Baseline clinical and procedural characteristics were comparable between the two PCI subgroups. A significant (p < 0.001) association was found between the PCI subgroup and the severity of periodontal disease, with the incidence of severe PD reaching 64.1%. Conclusions: Patients undergoing PCI for in-stent restenosis exhibit more severe forms of periodontal disease not only as compared to healthy controls but also as compared to patients stented for de novo lesions. The potential causality between PD and restenosis must be studied in larger prospective studies. © 2023 by the authors.}, keywords = {percutaneous coronary intervention; Periodontal disease; IN-STENT RESTENOSIS}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2075-4426}, orcid-numbers = {Braunitzer, Gábor/0000-0001-8983-5175; Ruzsa, Zoltán/0000-0002-2474-5723; Antal, Márk Ádám/0000-0002-4109-9356} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:34005177, title = {The effect of migraine on visually and multisensory guided associative learning and related memory processes in childhood}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34005177}, author = {Hegedűs, András and Braunitzer, Gábor and Tót, Kálmán and Eördegh, Gabriella and Kiss, Ádám and Kóbor, Jenő Dezső and Pertich, Ákos and Nagy, Attila}, booktitle = {6th Hungarian Neuroscience Doctoral Conference for Undergraduate Students, Graduate Students and Junior Postdoc}, unique-id = {34005177}, abstract = {Cognitive performance may deteriorate during migraine attacks, but little is known about the long-term effects of the disease on cognitive functions. In our work, we aimed to compare the visually and audio-visually guided associative learning abilities of pediatric patients suffering from migraine. In our research the visually guided Rutgers' acquired equivalence learning test, as well as our self-developed audiovisual so-called the Sound Face test were used to investigate association learning in pediatric migraineurs. The performance in the learning phase, where feedback-based matching of different images or images and sounds has to be mastered, depends primarily on the functioning of the basal ganglia frontal cortex loop pathways. The test phase, when already learned pairs must be recalled without feedback, or new pairs must be inferred based on previous associations (generalization), is primarily related to the functioning of the hippocampus-mediotemporal lobe. Error ratios in the different stages of the task (learning, recall, generalization) and the number of repetitions required for learning were examined and measured. In our study, we used the results of 30 children with migraine and 30 healthy children matched in age, gender and intelligence. The population of migraineurs does not perform worse in any of the studied learning parameters, neither in the visual nor in the audiovisual test, compared to the control group. In contrast, the children in the control group formed associations more efficiently (p=0.006) and learned the pairings with fewer repetitions (p=0.002) in the multisensory paradigm than in the visual paradigm. However, this multisensory facilitation was not observed in the migraine group. In our previous studies on an adult population, patients with migraine showed significantly worse performance in the learning and generalization stages of the visually guided test compared to healthy controls. However, we did not find such a clear correlation in the case of children with migraine either during the visually or audio-visually guided equivalence learning. However, the multisensory facilitation described in the control group of healthy children is absent in children with migraine, which may be a sign of the beginning of cognitive changes already expressed in adulthood.

A total of 24 lower first molars and 24 lower second premolars were included in this study. The distal canal of all molars received endodontic treatment. After root canal treatment, the teeth were dissected, and only the distal halves were kept. Standardized class II occluso-distal (OD) (premolars) and mesio-occlusal (MO) (dissected molars) cavities were prepared in all teeth, and premolar–molar units were created. The units were randomly distributed among four groups (n = six/group). With the aid of a transparent silicone index, direct inlay-retained composite bridges were fabricated. In Groups 1 and 2, both discontinuous (everX Flow) and continuous (everStick C&B) fibers were used for reinforcement, while in Groups 3 and 4, only discontinuous fibers (everX Flow) were used. The restored units were embedded in methacrylate resin, simulating either physiological periodontal conditions or furcation involvement. Subsequently, all units underwent fatigue survival testing in a cyclic loading machine until fracture, or a total of 40,000 cycles. Kaplan–Meyer survival analyses were conducted, followed by pairwise log-rank post hoc comparisons. Fracture patterns were evaluated visually and with scanning electron microscopy. In terms of survival, Group 2 performed significantly better than Groups 3 and 4 (p < 0.05), while there was no significant difference between the other groups. In the case of impaired periodontal support, a combination of both continuous and discontinuous short FRC systems increased the fatigue resistance of direct inlay-retained composite bridges compared to bridges that only contained short fibers.
