The article presents a case of spontaneous recession repair in a male patient with Class II malocclusion, division 1, after orthodontic treatment with aligners. The difference in digital recession depth was measured before and at the end of treatment by means of automatic intraoral scans superimposition within adapted software while using "Cross section" and "Measuring" instruments. Digital analysis of intraoral scans obtained before and at the end of treatment has revealed that recessions within the area of teeth 1.

The present study was organized in the form of a questionnaire-based survey among 300 foreign students of Medical Faculty and Faculty of Dentistry in Ukraine. The questionnaire was ad mistered via Google form in a multiple-choice, closed-ended format.

Detailed and clear images at different slice intervals can be obtained with CBCT, and mineral density can be measured from the image data on a computer with a Hounsfield unit (HU) scale. In addition to the broad opportunities presented by CBCT, this feature has presented a wider perspective to researchers.

Materials And Methods: Ante-mortem orthopantomogram and post-mortem peri-apical X-ray images were converted in *.jpeg format with their further import into GIMP 2.
Objective: To analyze a bibliometric profile of scientific production published in Acta Stomatologica Croatica (ASCRO).
Material And Methods: Scientific papers published from March 2009 to December 2018 were analyzed. Information on the year of publication was collected by four trained examiners.
Objective: To estimate the actual parameters of bacterial load in subgingival plaque during periodontitis and peri-implantitis pathologies using the RT-PCR (real-time polymerase chain reaction) method and evaluate their associations with clinical periodontal indicators.
Materials And Methods: Five different groups of subjects were selected according to a formulated design of the study: with mild/moderate periodontitis, with severe periodontitis, with peri-implantitis, healthy periodontal group and healthy peri-implant group. Subgingival plaque samples were formed with paper points inserted in the pocket/sulcus area for 30 seconds.
The problem of complex dental rehabilitation of a patient after partial or complete teeth loss is an urgent issue for dental practice. The most of patients coming to dentist with to make dentures on dental implants after tooth loss in lateral part of maxilla are often observed with atrophy of the alveolar bone resulting in maxillary sinus (sinus Haymori) enlargement. Creating an additional space for dental implant placement in the maxilla is possible by performing a sinus lift (subantral maxilla augmentation) - artificially thickening the lower and outer wall of the maxillary sinus with usage of osteoplastic materials.
