Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Intraosseous sarcoidosis imitating peri‐implantitis: A case study
Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown cause, typically affecting the lungs and lymph nodes, but it can also involve the eyes, skin, heart, bones, and other organs. The exact cause is unclear, but genetic factors and environmental triggers like infections, chemicals, or dust may play a role.

Voclosporin‐induced gingival enlargement: A case report
Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Drug‐influenced gingival enlargement (DIGE) is a recognized adverse effect of certain medications, particularly immunosuppressants like cyclosporin and tacrolimus. However, there have been no documented cases of DIGE associated with voclosporin, a newer calcineurin inhibitor used primarily to treat lupus nephritis.

Three-Dimensional Photographic Evaluation of Immediate Soft Tissue Changes Following Rapid Maxillary Expansion [PDF]
, 2011 The skeletal and dental changes associated with rapid maxillary expansion (RME) are well documented. Effects on the soft tissues and the potential impact on facial esthetics have not been well researched.

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Loss of the interdental papilla compromises esthetics, speech, and hygiene, significantly affecting quality of life and psychological well‐being. Reconstruction has long been considered unpredictable, particularly in Cairo RT3 cases with advanced interproximal bone loss.

Rapid maxillary expansion and conductive hearing loss.
The Angle orthodontist, 2003 The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on conductive hearing loss in 35 subjects (21 girls and 14 boys) with an average age of 14 years 6 months. All patients had maxillary constriction with a high palatal vault and a conductive hearing loss.

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.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
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.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
