Dental implants have transformed oral rehabilitation, exhibiting high survival rates; however, biological complications such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis remain prevalent. Poor oral hygiene is a recognized risk factor for these conditions, yet region-specific evidence, particularly in Saudi Arabia, is limited. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the association between patient oral hygiene status and dental implant failure rates at Riyadh Elm University (REU) clinics. Cl

A frequent inflammatory disease in denture wearers is denture stomatitis, which is closely linked with the colonization of denture surfaces with Candida species, in particular, Candida albicans. Denture materials give the optimal microbial adhesion and biofilm formation site which may cause long-term infections and mucosal inflammation. Traditional antifungal therapies can help alleviate symptoms but the reoccurrence of the fungal infection is common because of the biofilm resistance and microbi

This incorporation of embedded electronic sensors into both removable and fixed prostheses can be considered a major breakthrough in prosthodontics and digital healthcare in that real-time clinical parameters such as temperature, pressure, prosthesis forces, prosthesis use, and oral environmental changes can be monitored. Such sensor-based devices as smart dentures, implant-supported prostheses, and intraoral monitoring systems can improve the work of prostheses, to make them more comfortable to

A single-center mixed-methods quality improvement study was conducted at Prince Sultan Military Medical City. A multidisciplinary steering structure implemented phased specialty-based building transfers, centralized patient placement, staff communication and training, and real-time performance monitoring. Quantitative measures included flow failures, average length of stay, patient turnover ratio, time from bed request to assignment, and system downtime. Pre- and post-intervention trends were as

To evaluate the impact of a bed management–led, multidisciplinary capacity optimization initiative on reducing a prolonged waiting list for hospital-based dental treatment under GA. This single-center quality improvement study was conducted in a tertiary hospital. All patients on the existing waiting list were reviewed; no sampling was performed. Baseline capacity allowed treatment of two patients per week, comprising one day-case and one inpatient admission. The intervention included waiting-li
