Effectiveness of a miniscrew-assisted technique for protracting mandibular second molars: A prospective quasi-experimental study [PDF]
Objective: This study assessed the effectiveness of a miniscrew-assisted rectangular loop technique for protracting mandibular second molars without using full-arch appliances.Methods: This prospective pilot quasi-experimental study included 10 ...

Oral microbial homeostasis, a dynamic host‐microbe balance, is vital in infectious diseases. Conventional antibiotics often disrupt this homeostasis, spurring interest in nanomaterials for oral microbial homeostasis rebalancing. This review outlines nanomaterial strategies across three ecological levels (population/community, ecosystem, and cross ...

ABSTRACT For effective and safe practice, health professionals need an understanding of functional anatomy. Registration boards, councils or self‐regulating professional associations determine the standards, codes, graduate competencies and education program accreditation requirements which inform health curricula development and content.

Bimanual instrument suturing technique for periodontal and implant microsurgery: A technical note
Abstract Background In the traditional suturing technique, the dominant hand (DH) holds a needle holder, and the non‐dominant hand (NH) performs manual ties without the aid of an instrument. In periodontal and implant microsurgery, finer sutures and needles, e.g., 7‐0 in International Organization for Standardization units, are used, which could be ...

Orthodontic, regenerative, and implant management of a mandibular anterior defect: 5‐year outcome
Abstract Background Severe alveolar ridge defects in the mandibular anterior region, often associated with congenital tooth absence and subsequent loss of retained primary teeth, present significant challenges for implant rehabilitation. Limited space, horizontal ridge deficiency, and complex site anatomy often require a multidisciplinary approach to ...

Long‐term stability after non‐surgical furcation retreatment with adjunctive collagen hydrogel
Abstract Background Management of inflammation at previously surgically treated periodontal sites represents a clinical challenge. Although surgical retreatment may be indicated in selected cases, a conservative non‐surgical approach may restore periodontal stability while avoiding the additional morbidity associated with repeated surgery.

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.

AIM: The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of combined low energy laser application and Micro-Osteoperforations versus the effect of the application of each technique separately on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Three parallel groups (each group contained 10 patients) were performed; Group A: In which one side ...

Abstract Neural crest cells are multipotent, migratory stem‐like cells essential for vertebrate development that contribute broadly to many tissues including the craniofacial skeleton, peripheral nervous system, and pigment‐producing cells. Their development progresses through phases of induction, specification, delamination, migration, and ...
