Background: As a combination of curve of Spee and curve of Wilson, the Monson sphere reflects the arrangement of teeth in three-dimensional (3D) space. For occlusal analysis, the Monson sphere can provide an important reference for prosthetic reconstructions or orthodontic treatments.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to generate and investigate the 3-D Monson sphere through a complete digital workflow with intraoral scanning models and custom software.

Soft tissue integration surrounding dental implant is considered as a biological barrier against the oral microorganisms and external stimuli. At present, successful soft tissues integration around implants remains a challenge. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of nanostructured zirconia abutment surfaces on fibroblasts viability and Porphyromonas gingivalis adhesion, which are the two main factors influencing the quality of peri-implant soft-tissue seal.

Article Synopsis
  • The study introduces a new chimeric flap called the femur-vastus intermedius muscle-anterolateral thigh osteomyocutaneous free flap (FVATLO flap) for reconstructive surgery after head and neck malignancy resection, addressing the common issue of facial defects.* -
  • Researchers conducted dissections on 18 fresh cadavers to analyze the blood supply and anatomical characteristics of the vastus intermedius muscle and femur, noting two main patterns of blood supply for the muscle (from LCFA-db and LCFA-tb) and details about the femur's dimensions.* -
  • The findings suggest the FVATLO flap is a valuable option for reconstructive surgeries involving significant soft tissue loss and minor
