Background and Objectives: Caries development is associated with poor oral hygiene, inadequate dietary habits, quantitative and qualitative food content, and a high level of bacterial plaque. Physical and chemical changes in saliva composition and particularly changes in its buffering capability play a significant role in caries development. This study aimed to determine the predictors of poor oral health among a sample of second-year dental students. Materials and Methods: The oral health of students was estimated with clinical examination and the DMFT index. The interview included questions about demographics status (gender, age), a dietary habits questionnaire, questions about oral hygiene, and a demonstration of tooth brushing technique. Unstimulated saliva samples were collected to measure buffering capacity and pH. Results: Almost half of the students have a low level of caries experience (46.7%), followed by a slightly smaller number having a medium level (41.3%), while one in eight students (12.0%) demonstrates a high level of caries experience. Male students have a statistically higher DMFT index 5.7 ± 1.2 than female participants 4.5 ± 0.5 (p = 0.036). Significant predictors for the DMFT index score in students were milk [β-coefficient = −0.338, p = 0.011] and yoghurt [β-coefficient = 0.284, p = 0.040] consumption. All students brushed their teeth two or more times during the day, usually after waking up before breakfast and before bedtime. Most students (85.3%) apply the proper tooth brushing technique, with female students applying it more frequently (p = 0.038). The mean salivary pH was 6.9, while the mean buffer capacity was 5.8. Female respondents have a statistically lower buffer capacity (5.8 ± 0.5) than male respondents (6.1 ± 0.4) (p = 0.047). Conclusions: Dentistry students are introduced to good oral hygiene habits, especially female students, while dietary habits should be improved. However, one in eight dental students is at high caries risk. By assessing the level of caries experience, targeted strategies can be developed to promote, maintain, and enhance oral health among dental students.

Emergence profile of implant-supported crowns is defined by the characteristics of supracrestal connective tissue (SCT), located between the implant platform and cervical soft tissue margin. This paper reflects the soft tissue contour management of implant-supported screw-retained crowns and the transfer of emergence profile using an indirectly customized impression coping. A 27-year-old male was referred for endosseus implant placement (Straumann BLT 0 4.1 mm × 12 mm) in a region of a maxillary right central and lateral incisor. Teeth were extracted due to a cystic formation in the mentioned region. Following the delayed implant loading protocol, implants were exposed, and provisional crowns were fabricated to support marginal mucosa and papillae and to mimic the contralateral site. During the three months of temporization, three-dimensional peri-implant soft tissue changes were validated, and temporary crowns were re-contoured every two weeks to obtain dynamic compression. When adequate soft tissue architecture was achieved, the impression for definitive crowns was taken using customized transfer technique to be able to register the emergence profile of provisional crowns. This case report described a soft tissue management technique, where remodeling the provisional restoration allowed soft tissue to be reshaped. Individual transfer impression technique provides an accurately captured emergence profile of the soft tissue contours around implants in the aesthetic zone. This technique enables contouring of the transmucosal part of the definitive restoration according to the results obtained by individual dynamic compression, which leads to healthy soft tissue contours as well as satisfactory aesthetic results.
