Soft‐Tissue Keratocyst: A Report of Two New Cases

Oral Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Soft‐tissue keratocyst (STKC) is an extremely rare lesion whose histogenesis, nomenclature, and biological characterization remain uncertain, largely due to its close morphological similarity to intraosseous odontogenic keratocyst and its completely extragnathic location.

Reviewing the benefits and clinical outcomes of oral fibroblasts over mesenchymal stem cells for repairing periodontal defects during or after orthodontic tooth movement

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Orthodontic therapy applies forces to teeth, causing an inflammatory reaction in the periodontal ligament. This is repaired by remodeling of the periodontium, allowing tooth displacement. Although orthodontic therapy is mostly initiated during childhood and adolescence, the number of adults seeking this treatment is increasing as our society's

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.

Understanding exosomes in regenerative dentistry

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Regenerative dentistry is shifting from cell‐based strategies to cell‐free biologics capable of orchestrating intricate tissue repair. Exosomes, nanosized extracellular vesicles carrying bioactive molecular payloads, have emerged as central modulators of intercellular communication.
