Traumatic Dental Injuries: Clinical Case Presentation and a 10-Year Epidemiological Investigation in an Italian Dental Emergency Service.

Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) are very common in the world population, and international literature reports several studies which helped in the definition of international guidelines. The aim of this study is to present two clinical cases of TDI and to investigate epidemiological and etiological aspects of TDIs in patients treated in Modena, Italy, between January 2010 and December 2020. The presented case reports are two explicative clinical cases of successful TDI management with a long-term follow-up.

Acquired White Oral Lesions with Specific Patterns: Oral Lichen Planus and Lupus Erythematosus.

Background: Diagnosis of oral white lesions might be challenging. These lesions represent a wide spectrum of diseases with different etiology and prognosis. Oral white lesions can be categorized into two major groups, congenital and acquired, according to their development, and in four subgroups: lesions which can be scraped off or not and lesions with special pattern or not.

Direct versus Indirect Techniques to Menage Uncomplicated Crown Fractures of Anterior Teeth Following Dentoalveolar Trauma.

Dental trauma are the most common reasons for dental fractures in the anterior area, they have an incidence of 5% in the population, and in permanent teeth, they are mainly caused by sports. The most involved teeth are the maxillary anterior teeth. Direct composite restorations and indirect ceramic restorations are the therapy of choice for restoring anterior teeth after fracture when is not possible to reattach the tooth fragment.

Complex Implant-Prosthetic Rehabilitation Following Sports Trauma with 14 Years of Follow-Up: Case Report.

Tooth loss after traumatic dental injuries (TDI) often requires rehabilitation with a multidisciplinary treatment plan. In growing patients, the therapeutic approach may be different than in adults; the scientific literature offers alternative solutions even if they involve long, complex and uncomfortable treatments. Among the possible therapeutic options, implant-prosthetic treatment through the use of mini-implants is presented in this complex case report with a 14-year follow-up.

Therapy of autoimmune mouth bullous disease: 2020 review.

Most diseases of oral mucosa are either autoimmune in nature or are the results of immunologically mediated events. The diseases with autoimmune pathogenesis are namely pemphigus and pemphigoid; the oral involvement is frequent or regularly observed in these diseases. The treatments with traditional drugs or biologic agents or combinations of these molecules are employed in clinical practice.

Rehabilitation of a patient with mini-implants after avulsion of the upper incisors: A 13-year follow up.

Treatment following avulsion of a tooth in the growing patient requires a complex multidisciplinary therapeutic approach for the clinical team. The literature offers different therapeutic solutions following the avulsion of one or more teeth, but unfortunately all of them have negative repercussions on the patients' life quality, they involve long treatment plans, they are not always feasible, and they have limits. Alternatively, a new treatment concept that uses mini-implants can be considered and is presented with its rationale, clinical steps and 13 years of follow up of one case.

Behçet's disease: minireview with emphasis on oral aspects.

Adamatiades-Behçet disease (BD) is a primary systemic vasculitis of unknown origin, that may involve blood vessels of all sizes. The clinical hall-mark of the disease are recurrent oral aphthous ulcers, painful, sharply margined and often associated with recurrent genital ulcers. A variety of skin lesions, such as erythema nodosum-like nodules and purpuric lesions are frequently observed.

Recurrent aphtous stomatitis.

Recurrent aphtous stomatitis (recurrent aphtous ulcers, canker sores) is the most common ulcerative disease of the oral mucosa. In this paper we presented the main clinical features, epidemiologic data, etiopathogenetic factors and clinical management, based on the current medical literature reports.

Mini-implants in growing patients: a case report.

An immediate tooth replantation is the treatment of choice following avulsion, although it may not always be possible. The therapeutic approach is more complicated in patients that are still growing, as it must not interfere with normal cranial-facial growth processes. This case report evaluates the effectiveness of implant-prosthesis rehabilitation in a growing patient using mini-implants, following a failed post-avulsion tooth replantation.
