: The aim of this matched prospective cohort study was to examine the microarchitecture of the augmented bone following a modified alveolar ridge splitting procedure and compare it to that of native bone. : In the test group, patients underwent a modified ridge split osteotomy procedure to restore the width of the posterior segment of the mandible. Patients with sufficient bone width for dental implant placement in the posterior region of the mandible following 3-month-long spontaneous healing after tooth removal were included in the control group.

Article Synopsis
- Histomorphometry is currently the standard for analyzing bone microarchitecture, but it relies on 2D sections that can obscure 3D structures due to its destructive processes.
- A new approach was developed to reconstruct the 3D architecture from 2D histological samples using advanced imaging and machine learning techniques, achieving an accuracy of 95.26%.
- Results indicate a strong correlation between traditional micromorphometric parameters from microCT imaging and the new histological reconstructions, suggesting that this method reliably improves the examination of bone tissue microarchitecture.
Article Synopsis
- - Snus is becoming more popular among youth, largely due to tobacco industry promotion and a lack of awareness about its harmful effects, particularly on oral health.
- - A study on adolescent athletes found that regular snus users experience higher rates of gum bleeding (60%) compared to nonusers (37%), and poor oral hygiene compounds these issues.
- - The research highlights the need for early education to increase awareness of snus's dangers, as nonusers showed greater knowledge about its adverse effects (49% vs. 27% among regular users).
Article Synopsis
- - The study developed a new AI-assisted technique for creating three-dimensional histological reconstructions of tissues by analyzing bone biopsy samples and aligning serial sections.
- - It aimed to verify whether this method accurately represented the trabecular architecture of bone, using micromorphometric comparisons to traditional microCT imaging.
- - Results showed a strong correlation between micromorphometric measurements from both reconstruction methods, indicating that this novel technique allows for effective simultaneous evaluation of bone structure and histology.
Objectives: This case series aimed to assess the feasibility of a custom-made decompression appliance fabricated using a digital workflow to decompress odontogenic cysts. Additionally, the treated cysts were assessed for volumetric changes.
Methods: A three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction software (CoDiagnostiX version 10.
