Correction of mandibular deviation and maxillary occlusal canting with mandibular "early" surgery and microscrews: Two case reports.

Facial asymmetry is a common complaint in patients with facial concerns. Some patients have mandibular asymmetries that have light maxillary cant compensation due to a reduced gingival exposure. A common treatment in facial asymmetries is bimaxillary surgery treatment.

Direct oral anticoagulants and its implications in dentistry. A review of literature.

Background: Four novel direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) named dabigatran, rivaroxaban, edoxaban and apixaban have been recently introduced to overcome some of the drawbacks of existing anticoagulants. They have less interactions and do not require routine monitoring. However, there is not enough scientific data about the protocol to apply in these patients on DOACs undergoing dental treatment.

Calvarial bone harvesting with piezoelectric device.

We introduce the use of a piezoelectric device in order to harvest calvarial bone grafts. The vibration frequency of the instrument allows for the efficient cutting of bone without the risk of accidentally damaging the dura.
