OBJECTIVES: Evaluating gingival thickness is an essential factor for aesthetic, function, and the maintenance of soft tissue health around natural teeth and dental implants. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of visual inspection procedures used to identify gingival phenotype by clinicians with different expertise and level of experience. METHOD AND MATERIALS: The gingival phenotypes of a total of two hundred cases were identified as either thick or thin via visual assessment with clinical photographs by eight clinicians...

PURPOSE: This in vitro study evaluated the color differences when discolored tooth substrates were restored with CAD-CAM monolithic ceramics depending on ceramic type and thickness, and the try-in paste shade. METHODS: Six ceramic types were tested: high-translucent lithium disilicate (LD-HT); medium-translucent lithium disilicate (LD-MT); low-translucent lithium disilicate (LD-LT); low-translucent leucite (LC-LT); feldspathic ceramic (FC); BL1 low-translucent lithium disilicate, stained to A1 shade (LD-BL1-LT)...

OBJECTIVES: In early life, children are exposed to microorganisms from maternal and environmental sources, which influence the development of their microbiome throughout life. Several studies have demonstrated the influence of the delivery mode and breastfeeding on the oral microbiome of children, mostly regarding bacterial colonization. However, their influence on the oral fungal carriage is still underexplored. This study aimed to assess the association of the delivery and feeding mode with the oral carriage of yeasts in adulthood...

A peg shaped maxillary lateral incisor, is an underdeveloped small, malformed permanent tooth erupting following a deciduous tooth has been lost. That upper lateral irregularly shaped incisor may appear solitary, on both sides of the central incisors or along with a missing lateral tooth in the contra-lateral side of the arch. Peg shaped upper lateral incisors receive a great deal of attention, play a significant role in the displayed smile, and present a treatment challenge during all stages of a patient's life...

BACKGROUND: Ectopic eruption of the permanent first molar can lead to malocclusion if left untreated. Despite several reported etiological factors and treatment options, ectopic eruption caused by an improper restoration on an adjacent tooth and a simple solution have never been documented. CASE REPORT: An 8-year-old boy presented with an entrapped ectopic permanent mandibular first molar under the poorly-adapted margin of a preformed metal crown (PMC) on the adjacent primary second molar is described...

OBJECTIVES: This manuscript presents a systematic review of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. A meta-analysis was made to compare the number of treated/operated HNC patients in pre-COVID-19 era (PCE) versus COVID-19 era (CE). This investigation is based on previous reports showing a delay in the diagnosis and treatment of new cases of cancer during the pandemic. Worsening in cancer prognosis would be expected as a result of the delayed treatments...

With increasing age and edentulism, numerous aesthetic changes occur to the perioral region. The upper lips lose definition, flatten and lengthen, the cupid's bow is lost, and the oral commissures descend. The nasolabial folds deepen, marionette lines become prominent, vertical rhytids around the lips form, and chin rhytids form. Chronic exposure to UVA radiation from the sun can lead to photodamage, characterized by wrinkles, lentigines, actinic keratoses, and other pigment changes. In addition, edentulism leads to jaw atrophy, which often compromises soft tissue support...

Interim rehabilitation of edentulous patients is essential in implant prosthodontics. However, surgical augmentation may be required for patients with reduced bone density, which complicates the use of an interim prosthesis. This report describes the rehabilitation of an edentulous patient with an interim maxillary overdenture retained by short implants with individual attachments during the healing period of vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation. This technique increased the stability of the interim prosthesis even with shortened flanges to eliminate any pressure on the surgical site...

Peripheral facial nerve palsy (PFP) is a rare occurrence after dental extraction. Early onset PFP after the procedure can be caused by trauma and/or local anesthesia, whereas delayed onset PFP has more speculative etiologies. The latter has a certain affiliation to Bell's palsy and is therefore primordially treated with corticosteroids and long-term follow-up is often warranted. This article reports a unique case of a 30-year-old woman developing a delayed onset right-sided PFP after local intraoral anesthetic injection for molar extraction...

Implant-based rehabilitation is a clinical challenge, especially in the esthetic area. Numerous factors influence the outcome of the rehabilitation; however, the two main factors are the bone and soft-tissue deficiencies at the intended implant site. Peri-implant soft tissue complications can arise from a combination of factors that can be summarized in two categories: diagnostic errors and surgical planning management errors. Most of the complications can be corrected after each step of the treatment and even after the delivery of the prosthetic restoration with adequate soft tissue management in order to give the patient an esthetically pleasing outcome...
