Background And Objectives: Idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) can be described as a dysfunctional remodeling of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). It is clinically characterized by morphological changes in TMJ including reduced ramus height, accelerated mandibular retrusion and reduced growth in juveniles. With a strong predilection towards females (90 %) within an age group of 10 to 40 years, diagnosis and management of ICR is a critical clinical challenge.

Extended temporomandibular joint reconstruction (eTMJR) combined with the advancement in VSP not only offers improved functional and esthetic outcomes but also signifies a significant leap forward in the realm of TMJR interventions. In comparison to autogenous grafts, alloplastic pro$stheses exhibit superior outcomes concerning MIO, pain management, and dietary functionality, underscoring their potential as the preferred treatment modality.

- The study aimed to assess age and gender differences in chronic disease prevalence and calculate atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk scores in adults aged 30-75 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
- Conducted with 2,997 participants from 2015 to 2016, the study measured health indicators like blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and calculated both 10-year and lifetime ASCVD risk scores.
- Results showed that women had higher prevalence rates of diabetes, hypertension, and obesity compared to men, particularly in the 50-59 age group, while younger adults had a higher lifetime ASCVD risk.
Background: Unhealthy lifestyles are a global concern. This study measured the prevalence and factors associated with an unhealthy lifestyle in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: An interview-based, cross-sectional study was conducted with 968 males and 2029 females, aged 30-75 years, covering 18 primary health care centers in Riyadh.
