Outstretching challenges for rehabilitation of a mucormycotic case-a digitally designed patient-specific implant approach in the recent era.

Background: Reconstruction of maxillofacial defects is challenging due to the region's complex anatomy. During the COVID-19 era, many patients lost their maxilla and chewing efficiency as a result of Mucormycosis. In such cases, custom-designed implants offer a graftless solution for seemingly hopeless situations.

Application of Strain Elastography in Dentistry: A Systematic Review.

Strain elastography, a non-invasive imaging technique complements traditional diagnostic methods by offering quantitative and qualitative information about soft and hard tissues within the oral cavity. The article aimed to provide an overview of the currently available data on the use of strain elastography in dentistry.

Addressing the Digital Divide in Health Education: A Systematic Review.

The disparity in access to essential healthcare resources and services is exacerbated by the digital divide, which presents a significant obstacle to health education. Effective tactics to advance digital equity and provide equitable access to resources for telehealth and digital health are needed to close this gap. Digital databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were used to conduct a systematic review.
