Orthodontic treatment aims to realign teeth in a functional and esthetic manner. When applied on an unhealthy periodontium, this may lead to advanced periodontal tissue breakdown. The present 12-year follow-up report describes the multidisciplinary management of a severe, iatrogenic, generalized periodontitis case that was caused/aggravated by orthodontic therapy on unhealthy periodontal tissues.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the radiographical outcomes, survival rate, and amount of bone formation around implants placed during graftless lateral sinus lift approach (GLSLA). Five patients (6 sinus augmentations) were consecutively treated with GLSLA. After Schneiderian membrane elevation and implant insertion, only blood clot was left to fill the new sinus compartment.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the radiographical outcomes and survival rate of implants placed during graftless lateral sinus lift approach (GLSLA) using an absorbable collagen sponge.

Materials And Methods: Fourteen patients (14 sinus augmentations) were consecutively treated with GLSLA. After Schneiderian membrane elevation and implant insertion, only collagen sponges were used to fill the new sinus compartment.

Root resection and hemisection is a treatment option for furcated molars, and the prognosis of this technique has been well documented. The aim of the present paper is to systematically review studies examining the survival and/or failure rate of root resection and hemisection and to determine the factors behind the variability in the outcome reported. A Medline (PubMed), Embase, and Google Scholar search was undertaken, looking for articles published up to September 2016.

Root resection and hemisection is a well-documented treatment option for extending the life span of furcated molars. The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the long-term results of root resection and hemisection of 195 patients with up to 40 years of follow-up. Records of 195 patients who had undergone root resection or hemisection were reviewed.
