Orthodontic management of uneven gingival margins in patients with healthy or reduced periodontium to improve smile aesthetics

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Uneven gingival margins may cause visible asymmetries during smiling and may reflect alterations in the tooth shape and morphology, particularly in cases requiring restorative procedures. Despite being perceived as a minor health condition, presence of uneven gingival margins usually impacts the smile aesthetics and could affect the individual'

Periodontal and orthodontic management of impacted canines

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The maxillary and mandibular canines are described by many clinicians as the “cornerstone” of the arch. When in their optimal position, they play a critical role in providing a well‐balanced occlusal scheme that contributes toward functional as well as neuromuscular stability, harmony, esthetics, and dentofacial balance.

Ideal soft tissue graft in periodontal and peri‐implant applications: A scoping review

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft tissue grafts (STG) are used in a wide range of clinical situations including volume augmentation, keratinized tissue increase, and recession coverage around teeth and implants. Each STG, produced from different sources and processed with various techniques, possesses unique material properties and interaction with the host tissues, which

Exercise‐induced dynamic hyperinflation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung disease caused by inhalation of noxious particles, most commonly cigarette smoking. The consequent changes in airways, lung parenchyma and pulmonary vasculature lead to increased resistive, elastic and threshold loads and impaired capacity of the respiratory muscle pump. COPD

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.
