Skull morphology and histology indicate the presence of an unexpected buccal soft tissue structure in dinosaurs

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A combined approach of osteology and histology was used to examine the cheek regions of dinosaurs. Strong evidence was found for a soft tissue in this region connecting the zygoma to the mandible, here named the ‘exoparia’. Abstract Unlike mammals, reptiles typically lack large muscles and ligaments that connect the zygoma to the mandible.

Diagnostic Accuracy of an Orofacial Scale for the Detection of Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are known to have orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD) compared to healthy individuals. Consequently, treatment with oropharyngeal exercises has shown promise in some OSA cases. However, this requires an adequate orofacial myofunctional evaluation.

Patient Education and Levels of Disease‐Specific Information Needs Among Individuals With Oral Epithelial Dysplasia

Journal of Oral Pathology &Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is a histological diagnosis that carries an increased risk of the individual developing oral squamous cell carcinoma. We assessed the information needs (IN) and explored the sources of education used by individuals with OED using a validated OED‐specific measurement. Methods A total of 102 adults with

Intraoral scanning for implant‐supported complete‐arch fixed dental prostheses (ISCFDPs): Four clinical reports

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Although there are difficulties with using intraoral scans for implant‐supported complete‐arch fixed dental prostheses (ISCFDPs), several commercially available systems have become helpful in simplifying the treatment process in the prosthetic phase.

Effect of build orientation on the fabrication trueness of additively manufactured implant‐supported complete arch interim fixed prostheses

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate how build orientation affects the fabrication trueness of additively manufactured implant‐supported complete arch prostheses by comparing them to subtractively manufactured high‐impact polymer‐based prostheses. Materials and Methods An edentulous maxillary model with four implants at canine and first molar regions ...

Evaluation of thin‐threaded implants primary stability in type IV bone right after maxillary sinus floor elevation: A human cadaver study

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The bone‐implant interface plays a crucial role in obtaining sufficient primary stability for dental implants in weak bone supports. The aim of this human cadaver study was to evaluate the primary stability of new thin‐threaded implants when placed in type IV bone right after maxillary sinus floor elevation.

Case reports of oral appliance therapy on three young adults with Down syndrome and OSA

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Patients with Down syndrome (DS) have a high incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to hypotonia, weight, underdeveloped midface, and relative macroglossia. This article presents three cases of young adults with DS, who were diagnosed with mild to severe OSA and unable to tolerate positive airway pressure therapy.
