Two rare cases of concomitant dental anomalies-supernumerary and missing teeth
Though supernumerary tooth / teeth, particularly mesiodens are not rare, the condition in which supernumerary teeth occur with one or more congenitally missing teeth in the same or opposite arch, in absence of any syndrome is unusual.

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Maximizing Neurovascular Outcomes of Facial Transplantation: A Comprehensive Review
ABSTRACT Facial transplantation is a division of reconstructive surgery which aims to improve the function and appearance of a face that has endured severe disfigurement. Currently, the face transplant procedure uses allogenic tissue, harvested from a brain‐dead donor, to replace damaged facial components.

Bone stability after regenerative peri‐implantitis treatment: A 10‐year follow‐up case study
Abstract Background Peri‐implantitis poses a significant challenge to implant longevity, leading to progressive bone loss and potential implant failure. While reconstructive surgery has been proven effective in regenerating peri‐implant tissues, the long‐term stability of the regenerated tissues and the impact of supportive peri‐implant care (SPIC) on ...

Abstract Background Delayed wound healing following implant placement surgery is an uncommon complication, usually attributed to systemic (smoking and alcohol), local (severely inflamed tissues), or technical (poor suturing) factors. However, delayed wound healing after implant placement caused by severe hypovitaminosis C has not been previously ...

Effect of aesthetic crown lengthening on life quality and self‐esteem: 2‐year study
Abstract Background A gummy smile can result from several factors, often leading to a disharmonious appearance and causing physical and psychological discomfort for the patient. This study aimed to evaluate changes in self‐esteem and quality of life for patients, as well as the recidivism rate, following aesthetic crown lengthening (ACL) surgery ...

Abstract Background Autogenous particulate dentin has emerged as one of the promising biocompatible alternatives to traditional bone graft materials in alveolar ridge augmentation. Although its clinical success is documented, comprehensive studies combining histological and radiographic evaluations remain limited. This case report addresses this gap by

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 ...
