[Repair of perirradicular tissues in non-surgical endodontic treatment. A review].

Introduction: Non-surgical endodontic treatment aims to prevent apical periodontitis, achieved with the disinfection of the root canal system. Additionally, there are pathologies where the toxic content of the canal goes to the periradicular tissues, causing osteolysis or lesions of the bone tissue that are radiographically observed as radiolucent images. When the endodontic treatment is successful, the repair of these lesions occurs over time.

[Lingual frenectomy with ND:YAG laser. case report].

Ankyloglossia is considered a congenital patology, whose treatment indicated is a frenectomy, this surgical technique consists in remove the tissue that joins the tongue with the floor mouth. This technique allows the patient a considerable improvement to limitations caused by this anomaly such as difficulties in suction, pronunciation, chewing and difficulty in touching the lower lip with the tip of the tongue. Currently the use of laser technology and its benefits in modern dentistry, allows the realization of surgical procedures free of bleeding, with very little pain and inflammation of the tissues and with a recovery time much lower than necessary with conventional techniques.

[Use of diagnostic modalities for dentofacial imaging in forensic dentistry. Literature review].

Objective: To describe the use of diagnostic modalities for dentofacial imaging in forensic dentistry.

Materials And Methods: A scientific search was carried out in the PubMed, Google Academic, and SciELO databases with the keywords "Dentofacial Imaging", "Panoramic Radiography", "Lateral Cephalogram", "Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)", "Digital Radiography", and "Forensic Dentistry". Forty-eight recently dated articles published in English were selected, seeking information to describe the use of diagnostic modalities pertaining to dentofacial imaging in forensic dentistry.

[Skull-facial anthropometric traits of forensic odontological interest for estimating sex, race and age. Review of the literature].

One of the main functions of anthropologists and forensic dentists is to identify subjects according to physical characteristics of the features presented using non-routine methods. These characteristics, especially bone, allow professional to determine the sex, age and racial origin of the remains or skeleton found. Dentist focus on features belonging to the stomatognathic system, while anthropologists study the bones that make up the human body.
