The Impact of Digital Devices on Children's Health: A Systematic Literature Review.

Background: The impact of prolonged digital device exposure on physical and mental health in children has been widely investigated by the scientific community. Additionally, the lockdown periods due to the COVID-19 pandemic further exposed children to screen time for e-learning activities. The aim of this systematic review (PROSPERO Registration: CRD42022315596) was to evaluate the effect of digital device exposure on children's health.

Computer-Guided Surgery Can Avoid Prophylactic Endodontic Treatment in Autologous Tooth Transplantation: A 5-Year Follow-Up Case Report.

Autotransplantation is a successful technique to replace compromised teeth. This study presents a computer-guided surgical approach for preparing the receiving socket for a mature mandibular third molar donor tooth with a wait-and-see approach instead of prophylactic endodontic treatment. A 42-year-old woman developed root resorption of tooth 3.

Lateralization of the Inferior Alveolar Nerve in the Rehabilitation of Mandibular Atrophy: Case Report.

The lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve, or LIAN procedure, may be a surgical consideration for implant-prosthetic rehabilitation in the edentulous mandibular posterior region. This technique can be advantageous in that it does not require a donor site and allows for the immediate placement of an implant, potentially leading to reduced morbidity, healing time, and costs. Although such risks as altered sensory nerve function and weakening of the mandibular body are associated with the LIAN procedure, it is a viable alternative to various regenerative techniques to rehabilitate a patient with an implant-supported fixed prosthesis.

Prosthesis Complications in Elderly Patients: A Case of a Swallowed Overdenture.

Swallowed or aspirated dentures may result in serious systemic complications and require multidisciplinary attention or intervention. With an increasing number of edentulous elderly patients, such situations are not uncommon occurrences in everyday dentistry. In fact, dentures are the most ingested foreign body in the elderly patient population, and this is a particular risk if the dentures are lacking in stability.

Interplay between Protein Kinase C Epsilon and Reactive Oxygen Species during Myogenic Differentiation.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are currently recognized as a key driver of several physiological processes. Increasing evidence indicates that ROS levels can affect myogenic differentiation, but the molecular mechanisms still need to be elucidated. Protein kinase C (PKC) epsilon (PKCe) promotes muscle stem cell differentiation and regeneration of skeletal muscle after injury.
