Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations
Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Exploring dietary adaptations in Ursus minimus: a 3D geometric morphometric analysis of the mandible
Boreas, EarlyView.Using 3D geometric morphometrics, the dietary adaptations of the extinct Auvergne bear (Ursus minimus) are analysed. Its mandibular morphology aligns more closely with omnivorous rather than insectivorous bears, challenging current ideas. The extinct bear Ursus minimus, which lived in Europe during the Pliocene and possibly Early Pleistocene, is ...

Dental Traumatology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background/Objectives The use of mouthguards protects teeth and the supporting tissues against impacts. Digital impressions and 3D‐printed models can reduce manufacturing steps and minimize discomfort. This study evaluated the fit, comfort, and usability of custom‐made mouthguards, obtained by conventional and digital workflow, in amateur ...

Multiple Myeloma That Required Differentiation From Temporomandibular Joint Disorder: A Case Report
Case Reports in DentistryMultiple myeloma is characterized by a monoclonal neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells. This pathology can manifest as skeletal-related events (SREs), such as bone pain. However, such events are extremely rare in the mandibular condyle.
