It explains the concept of ‘satisficing’, as opposed to ‘maximizing’, in dentistry, and illustrates how subconscious bias and self-interests might lead supposed experts to promote arbitrary aspirational standards and confuse them with what the law expects (the Bolam Test standard), and what is genuinely in the best interests of an individual patient. It is argued that sound, patient-centred pragmatic planning and treatment is equally valid, with wider applicability than routinely defaulting to a self-serving ‘maximalist’ approach. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The ‘satisficing’ concept has wide and profound application across many fields of dentistry.","PeriodicalId":35831,"journal":{"name":"Dental update","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140267403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clinicians had to weigh the benefits of a new technique versus the cost and time involved in making it an effective investment. In low- and middle-income countries, the introduction of guided implant surgery is still in a nascent state. The procedures that fall into this category merge patients' data, both clinical and radiographic, to better visualize and guide access to the target site. Guided implant surgery is a minimally invasive, reproducible technique that substantially reduces the risk of injuring critical anatomical structures. Previously published data on guided implant surgery are limited and contain outdated methodology. In this review, the authors introduce the benefits, general principles and updated clinical workflow for guided dental implant surgery. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Guided implant surgery is a reproducible technique that results in predictable implant placement.","PeriodicalId":35831,"journal":{"name":"Dental update","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140267898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this, the knowledge and awareness of the factors that predispose sites to recession remains limited, with most people associating it with poor oral hygiene.

Autotransplantation of the tooth has been recognized as an alternative treatment option. This article reports on two cases where a migrated canine was asymptomatic, and accidentally diagnosed during routine examination. The procedure undertaken was autotransplantation of the canine using a physio-dispenser system and a platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane to promote bone and soft tissue healing and regeneration. After a 2-year follow up, the autotransplanted canines showed no signs or symptoms of clinical or radiological failure. On radiographic examination, a patent periodontal ligament space was also appreciated.

Premature loss of the second primary molar before the eruption of the permanent first molar may lead to space loss that results in tooth size/arch length discrepancy. Early loss of a second primary molar is a challenge to paediatric dentists if the first permanent molar has not erupted. A space maintainer of the intra-alveolar type assists in controlling the eruption of the permanent first molar in these circumstances. This report describes the case of space maintenance in a 3-year-old girl for whom the primary second molar was extracted owing to a poor prognosis. A pre-formed intra-alveolar space maintainer, which in this case was a Roche's distal shoe type, was given and followed up for 12 months. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This pre-formed distal shoe space maintainer gives the advantage of reduced chairside time, more stability and strength, and is better accepted by the child.","PeriodicalId":35831,"journal":{"name":"Dental update","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140267638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
