Abstract Objectives To assess the short‐term clinical outcomes of lateral augmentation of deficient extraction sockets and two‐stage implant placement using autogenous tooth roots (TR). Material & Methods A total of n=13 patients (13 implants) were available for the analysis. At the time of tooth extraction, each subject had received lateral augmentation using the respective non‐retainable but non‐infected tooth root where the thickness of the buccal bone was <0.5 mm or where a...
Abstract Objectives To evaluate patients’ perceptions regarding implant treatment and maintenance. Material And Methods A semi‐structured questionnaire was developed focusing on 4 main domains: a) information regarding possible complications received before implant therapy; b) information received after treatment regarding maintenance; c) self‐performed daily home care; d) implant maintenance received at the dental office. Adult patients, restored with implant‐supported prosthesis by at...

Abstract Objectives It has been proposed that citrullination and carbamylation occur in the inflamed periodontium and could be the plausible mechanisms for the generation of antigens involved in the development and progression of RA. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence and location of citrullinated and carbamylated proteins in the gingival tissues and compare their abundance in periodontitis (PD) patients with or without...
Abstract Objectives Sufficient depth of cure allows bulk-fill composites to be placed with a 4-mm thickness. This study investigated bulk versus incremental application methods by visualizing shrinkage vectors in flowable bulk-fill and conventional composites. Materials and methods Cylindrical cavities (diameter = 6 mm, depth = 4 mm) were prepared in 24 teeth...
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the microstructural composition, ion release, cytocompatibility, and mineralization potential of Bio-C Sealer ION+ (BCI) and EndoSequence BC Sealer HiFlow (BCHiF), compared with AH Plus (AHP), in contact with human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs). Materials and methods The sealers’ ionic composition...
Abstract Objectives Conventional dental implants inserted in the molar region of the maxilla will reach into the sinus maxillaris when alveolar ridge height is limited. When surgery is performed without prior augmentation of the sinus floor, primary stability of the implant is important for successful osseointegration. This study aimed at identifying the impact of bone quality and quantity at the implantation site on primary implant stability...
Abstract Objectives The study aimed to compare the acetaminophen administration efficacy or its combination with codeine for pain control in acute apical abscesses cases. Materials and Methods Thirty-nine patients who sought emergency treatment in the Faculty of Dentistry of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul were included, all of them with acute...

Donor site morbidity following radial forearm flap (RFF) harvest remains a controversial issue. The aim of this meta-analysis was to answer the question “Are the range of wrist movements (range of motion, ROM) and hand strength affected after RFF harvesting?” The PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library electronic databases were systematically searched (to December 2019). Self-controlled studies evaluating hand biomechanics after RFF harvest were included. Weighted mean differences with 95% confidence...
The relevance of positional cranial deformity remains a controversial topic. While many specialists support therapeutic intervention with a helmet for severe cases, some are convinced that fears are exaggerated and helmets are unnecessary. In this study, 395 unaffected laypeople were interviewed for their opinion. Standardized photographs of 10 children with different degrees of positional deformity were presented in a randomized order. Values from the literature served as the normal reference (cranial...
I found very interesting the article wrote by Swennen et al.1 about custom-made 3D-printed face masks. The fabrication of this prototype is a promising idea and is a feasible alternative since medical, N95 and FFP2/3 masks are in shortage in different countries2.

Loneliness is associated with a poor quality of life, mental illness, poor physical health, and premature mortality. Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) are at risk of loneliness because of the effects of the disease and its treatment on important social interactive functions such as appearance, speech, facial expression, and eating. Patients treated for primary squamous cell HNC between January 2015 and December 2016 were surveyed in early 2019 using the University of Washington quality of...
We read the article by Bennet et al with great interest and would like to posit our views on the topic.1 Bennet et al gave a detailed overview of thecommon barriers in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) training recruitment and solutions to these barriers. The authors recommend a reduction in training duration and greater provision of university OMFS societies to enhance students’ awareness of training pathways. Although this article considerably contributes to the knowledge of how OMFS recruitment...
Women make up a minority of OMFS consultants and trainees. The long training pathway has been highlighted as a barrier for prospective applicants. Maternity leave and less than full-time training extend time in training. Efforts to streamline and shorten the training pathway will help ensure the diversity and inclusivity of OMFS.

Abstract Oral cancer is among most common neoplasm of oral cavity, in many cases it develops at the site of premalignant lesion. Areca nut has been identified as a carcinogen, which was proved to promote the inflammation level and contributes to oral malignancy. Chewing Areca gut is the main cause of the premalignant disease oral submucous fibrosis (OSF). Bacterial alterations were suggested to be assonated with oral cancer progression. Therefore, the present study was carried out to determine the...
Abstract Objectives The early diagnosis and monitoring of Crohn’s disease (CD) and orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) might be facilitated by assaying potential disease biomarkers in saliva. Markers of oxidative stress and inflammation were assayed in salivas from patients with CD, OFG and concurrent OFG and CD (OFG+CD). Subjects Unstimulated whole mouth saliva was collected from 93 subjects and immunoglobulin A (IgA), lactoferrin (LF) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were determined by ELISA. Markers...
Abstract Objectives Autofluorescence is considered a useful technique in the early detection of oral mucosal alterations. However, its efficacy to discriminate tumor margins is still under debate. The purpose of this pilot study was to confirm the existence of molecular divergence from the centre of a lesion compared to white light and autofluorescence (VELscopeTM) visualized margins in leukoplakia and oral carcinoma. Materials and methods Molecular divergence from the centre of the lesion...

Abstract Background Long‐term follow‐ups after receiving lycopene therapy for management of Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) are scarce. The study aimed to assess the long‐term efficacy of lycopene for management of OSMF symptoms. Methods In this prospective clinical study, 400 clinically diagnosed early OSMF patients were assessed for the efficacy of lycopene in alleviation of burning sensation (BS) and reduced mouth opening (MO) symptoms in comparison to placebo. After one year follow up,...
