Periodontitis presenting among betel quid users: A case series
Abstract Background Betel leaf chewing habit has been studied extensively, as it has been an ancient practice in many Asian countries. Although betel leaf has been reported to have potential beneficial properties, it has also been shown to have a strong association with oral diseases, including periodontitis. This case series addresses the presentation

Management of post‐implant fibrous dysplasia in the maxilla: A case study
Abstract Background Fibrous dysplasia is generally rare, and even rarer in older adults. Special care is needed when altering the alveolar bone in these cases, especially if an implant is involved. This case study highlights such a scenario. Methods This case study details the experience of a 63‐year‐old African American female who presented with a ...

Guided transpositional bone blocks in esthetic zone: Surgical technique and case report
Abstract Background The ultimate objective of implant dentistry is to position the implant in a three‐dimensional, prosthetic‐driven location. This case highlights a guided approach for harvesting and positioning an autogenous bone block to restore a horizontal bone defect in the anterior maxilla.

Abstract Purpose The aim of the present study was to evaluate the 5‐year results in terms of marginal bone level (MBL) around implants supporting fixed full‐arch metal‐ceramic restorations in a series of cases of patients who had lost their teeth in that dental arch because of severe periodontal disease.

The branching nerve of HDA and the Kan condition [PDF]
One can associate to any strict globular $\omega$-category three augmented simplicial nerves called the globular nerve, the branching and the merging semi-cubical nerves. If this strict globular $\omega$-category is freely generated by a precubical set, then the corresponding homology theories contain different informations about the geometry of the ...

Crossed Simplicial Group Categorical Nerves [PDF]
We extend the notion of the nerve of a category for a small class of crossed simplicial groups, explicitly describing them using generators and relations. We do this by first considering a generalised bar construction of a group before looking at twisted versions of some of these nerves.

A head start: The relationship of placental factors to craniofacial and brain development
Abstract In recent years, the importance of placental function for fetal neurodevelopment has become increasingly studied. This field, known as neuroplacentology, has greatly expanded possible etiologies of neurodevelopmental disorders by exploring the influence of placental function on brain development.

Strongly Proximal Edelsbrunner-Harer Nerves in Voronoi Tessellations [PDF]
This paper introduces Edelsbrunner-Harer nerve in collections of Voronoi regions (called nucleus clusters) endowed with one or more proximity relations. The main results in this paper are that a maximal nucleus cluster (MNC) in a Voronoi Tessellation is a strongly proximal Edelsbrunner-Harer nerve, each MNC nerve and the union of the sets in the MNC ...

Elp1 function in placode‐derived neurons is critical for proper trigeminal ganglion development
Abstract Background The trigeminal nerve is the largest cranial nerve and functions in somatosensation. Cell bodies of this nerve are positioned in the trigeminal ganglion, which arises from the coalescence of neural crest and placode cells. While this dual cellular origin has been known for decades, the molecular mechanisms controlling trigeminal ...
