Tooth impaction is a frequent phenomenon in patients with craniofacial syndrome, and the oral rehabilitation of such cases is considered a therapeutic challenge for the clinician. Placing implants in contact with impacted teeth may provide an alternative treatment for patients who refuse invasive surgery, and for whom orthodontic traction and surgery are not possible. However, the absence of evidence-based guideline protocols may sometimes lead to inappropriate execution by the clinician.

Establishing an accurate occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) is a crucial clinical step during full-mouth rehabilitation. Various techniques have been suggested to evaluate OVD, but none of them is practically reliable, and each one has its shortcomings. The correlation between facial proportions and the lower third of the face is a reliable method but needs to be verified in many ethnic groups.

A structural study confirms that the sample is single phase. Magnetic measurements show that the sample is a charge ordered manganite.

- This study assessed a clinical sign related to disc displacement without reduction (DDWR) in the jaw, focusing on the difference in condylar movement during mouth opening versus jaw protrusion.
- The analysis of 38 TMJ examinations revealed a significant difference in the movement ratio for non-painful DDWR compared to non-DDWR, indicating a lack of additional translation during opening.
- The findings suggest that this absence of movement may also apply to another subtype of DDWR that hasn't been fully validated, highlighting the need for more research to confirm the clinical significance of these observations through both imaging and physical examination methods.
A large group of E3 ubiquitin ligases is formed by the multisubunit SCF complex, whose core complex (Rbx1/Cul1-Cdc53/Skp1) binds one of many substrate recruiting F-box proteins to form an array of SCF ligases with diverse substrate specificities. It has long been thought that ubiquitylation by SCF ligases is regulated at the level of substrate binding. Here we describe an alternative mechanism of SCF regulation by active dissociation of the F-box subunit.
