Alveolar ridge resorption following tooth loss poses a significant challenge for successful dental implant placement. In cases of severe atrophy, bone augmentation is required to restore sufficient bone volume. This technical note outlines a detailed, stepwise surgical protocol for horizontal and vertical alveolar ridge augmentation using customized titanium mesh.

- Meat is rich in essential nutrients but is highly perishable, making it susceptible to spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms, particularly Pseudomonas species.
- The meat industry commonly uses chemical preservatives to combat microbial growth, but increasing consumer concerns about their safety have led to interest in alternative preservation methods.
- Natural preservatives, like lactic acid bacteria and their metabolites, show promising bioprotective properties against spoilage and pathogens, though more research is needed to assess their effectiveness in various meat products under different conditions.
The present study aims to deepen the knowledge of the microbiota, gross composition, physico-chemical and morpho-textural features, biogenic amines content and volatilome of Njeguški cheese, one of the most popular indigenous cheeses produced in Montenegro. Cheese samples were collected in duplicate from three different batches produced by three Montenegrin artisan producers. For the first time, the microbiota of Njeguški cheese was investigated using both culture-dependent techniques and metagenomic analysis.
