Periodontal phenotype modification in surgically facilitated orthodontics: A case report.
Clin Adv Periodontics
November 2024
Background: Orthodontic treatment in adults with thin periodontal phenotype presents challenges such as lengthy treatment time and increased risk for gingival recessions. In this case, surgically facilitated orthodontic treatment (SFOT) was proposed to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement while modifying the periodontal phenotype.
Methods: An orthodontic patient was referred for periodontal evaluation of lower anterior teeth, which presented a thin gingival phenotype and bone dehiscence.
Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is an autosomal dominant disorder that results from mutations in the collagen type III gene. It is a risk factor for medium-sized artery aneurysms, dissections, and ruptures. We report a case of hemoperitoneum due to medial dissection and rupture of the superior mesenteric artery related to vEDS.

Article Synopsis
- A 52-year-old woman experienced severe neck pain and underwent a procedure involving a neck injection of anesthetic and corticosteroid but tragically collapsed during the operation and later died due to complications.
- A thorough postmortem examination included an extensive analysis of the cervical spinal cord, revealing a needle track and signs of injury in the spinal tissues connected to the injection.
- The study underlined the importance of careful planning and detailed examination techniques, including various staining methods, to effectively document and understand the injuries related to the procedure.
CAD/CAM Titanium Meshes for GBR: A Case Series with Preliminary Histologic Analysis.
Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent
May 2024
Titanium has been proposed as a mesh material for guided bone regeneration (GBR) since the 1990s. To overcome difficulties in shaping and adapting meshes to the defect, digital techniques were introduced to digitally print meshes capable of fitting the bone perfectly, reproduced through the patient's CT scan. Five patients were included in this case series, and their CBCT data were acquired and sent to the producer of the titanium meshes.

Implants should be placed with consideration to hard and soft tissue management to optimize long term implant and cosmetic success. In this case report, two maxillary central incisors were extracted in two different time points, separated by 5 years because of horizontal root fractures.
