Anatomy of the Soft Palate and Its Role in Upper Airway Function: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT The soft palate is a complex anatomical structure, located at the posterior aspect of the oral and nasal cavities, able to dynamically create valve closure of the nasal and the oral cavities. Its precise movement is critical for speech, swallowing, and respiration. Despite its functional importance, detailed characterization of its constituent

Volumetric analysis of root coverage with porcine acellular dermal matrix: Case study
Abstract Background Gingival recession is prevalent and often treated with coronally advanced flap plus connective tissue graft (CAF+CTG). Porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM) offers a donor‐site‐free alternative. Contemporary digital imaging allows minimally invasive, three‐dimensional (3D) soft‐tissue assessment. This case report quantified 3D soft‐

Abstract Background Traumatic dental injury (TDI) most often requires complex and interdisciplinary management. Several factors are associated with the success of TDI treatment, including proper treatment planning and periodontal maintenance. Methods The present 16‐year follow‐up report describes the interdisciplinary management of an extrusive ...

Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.

The role of Rho GTPases in facial morphogenesis
The role of small GTPases, RHOA, RAC1, and CDC42 and pathway mediators is reviewed in the context of embryonic facial development. Lip fusion requires cytoskeletal remodeling during morphogenesis of the facial processes and during lip fusion. Fnm, frontonasal mass; lnp, lateral nasal process; mnp, medial nasal process; mxp, maxillary process; np, nasal
