External apical root resorption is characterized by the gradual blunting and shortening of the root, leading to open apices that complicate the achievement of an adequate three-dimensional seal in the root canal system. A common treatment approach for such conditions has been the placement of an apical barrier. This case report demonstrates the innovative use of an amnion membrane matrix combined with Biodentine as an apical barrier to manage apical root resorption. After performing the initial

This study aimed to evaluate whether the use of alloplastic implants in the mandibular body and angle as an adjunct to orthognathic surgery affects the jaw reflex. 2 patients with severe mandibular asymmetry underwent sagittal split osteotomy combined with Medpor porous polyethylene implants. To examine changes in reflexes, surface electromyographic data were collected from the masseter muscle at multiple time points. The latencies and durations of the silent period were measured. In both patien

This study focuses on the anatomical vulnerability of the buccal bone plate in the aesthetic part of the maxilla, which is prone to significant resorption following tooth extraction. While immediate dental implant placement can help preserve the surrounding tissues, it does not completely prevent bone resorption. This systematic review aims to assess how two key surgical protocols—full-thickness flap elevation and bone grafting—affect bone remodeling after the immediate placement of dental impla

Achieving optimal pink and white esthetics is essential in the rehabilitation process, but it can be challenging when relying solely on surgical or prosthetic approaches. Successful esthetic restoration requires careful planning and a multidisciplinary approach for the best results. This case report describes the use of a fixed gingival prosthesis to treat a Siebert’s Class III anterior ridge defect following Le Fort osteotomy and rapid maxillary expansion. A 17-year-old female presented with mi

Understanding bone biology is crucial to ensure the success and longevity of dental implants. This study aimed to evaluate the use of bone turnover markers (BTMs) as a diagnostic method to assess bone quality in patients undergoing dental implant surgery before treatment. This single-center, case-control, cross-sectional study conducted at a private institution in Chennai included patients with a single edentulous space lasting for at least 6 months. Saliva samples were collected alongside routi

This study aimed to assess dental students’ understanding and perspectives on the use of immediate implant placement as a solution for replacing missing teeth. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 300 dental surgeons (150 male and 150 female), aged between 20 and 55 years, to assess their awareness and knowledge regarding immediate implant placement for tooth replacement. Participants were provided with a clear explanation of the study’s objectives, and written informed consent was obtain
