Article Synopsis
- The zygomatic bone, crucial in facial anatomy, is prone to fractures from impacts like accidents and sports, and zygomatic implants may increase this risk.
- A complex anatomical model using finite-element analysis (FEM) was created to simulate the zygomatic bone's behavior under various impact velocities.
- Results indicated that higher speeds (15 and 20 km/h) caused severe crush fractures, while lower speeds led to less severe local damage, highlighting specific high-stress areas crucial for injury prevention.

Article Synopsis
- A gummy smile is defined as showing more than 3 mm of gum tissue above the upper front teeth, and this study explored a new hyaluronic acid technique to reduce it.
- Fifty patients received the treatment, with evaluations conducted at various intervals for aesthetics, patient satisfaction, and side effects.
- Results showed a 2.5 mm average reduction in gum exposure after treatment, with 82.1% patient satisfaction, and 100% would recommend the procedure, while side effects like pain and bruising significantly decreased.
Article Synopsis
- * The main challenges in addressing gummy smiles stem from multiple underlying causes, inconsistent classification criteria, and difficulties in creating tailored treatment plans for patients.
- * This article proposes a new classification that focuses on muscle dynamics, aiming to enhance the understanding of gummy smiles and promote more personalized treatment approaches.
Article Synopsis
- - Periodontal disease (PD) is a chronic inflammatory condition related to oral health that affects 19% of adults globally, and there's concern that it may increase preterm birth risks in pregnant women due to inflammation and immune responses.
- - A systematic review involving five clinical trials with 1,984 pregnant patients assessed whether non-surgical treatment for PD could prevent preterm births, revealing that most studies leaned towards treatment being beneficial but lacked significant statistical evidence.
- - Ultimately, the research found no strong association between PD and preterm birth rates in pregnant women, although there was a slight suggestion that treatment could be advantageous.
Numerous studies in the literature have aimed to evaluate the difficulty level of removing third molars. However, most of these studies have focused on the lower third molars, which can lead to complications. There is a lack of a method to determine the complexity of upper third molar extraction.
