The feasibility of the adult age estimation 3D-CBCT method on ancient human remains.

The age estimation of skeletal remains still represents a central issue not only for the reconstruction of the so-called "biological profile," but mostly for the palaeodemographic investigation. This research aims at verifying the feasibility of the adult age estimation method developed on living people by Pinchi et al. (2015 and 2018), for estimating the age at the death of 37 subjects from ancient populations found in two different Italian necropolis of archaeological interest (Mont'e Prama and Florence, X-IX century B.

Early Alpine occupation backdates westward human migration in Late Glacial Europe.

Before the end of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, ∼16.5 ka ago) set in motion major shifts in human culture and population structure, a consistent change in lithic technology, material culture, settlement pattern, and adaptive strategies is recorded in Southern Europe at ∼18-17 ka ago. In this time frame, the landscape of Northeastern Italy changed considerably, and the retreat of glaciers allowed hunter-gatherers to gradually recolonize the Alps.

Periodontal Pocket: An Ecologic Niche Promoting the Germination of a Plant Seed.

During a scaling and root planing procedure, a large, actively germinating seed was removed from a deep periodontal pocket. The histologic examination confirmed that it was a germinating tomato seed (). Since all seeds inside their fruits are in a quiescent stage, this seed was quiescent when the patient ate the tomato.

Conservative treatment of unicystic odontogenic keratocyst by piezosurgery approach. A case report.

The present case report describes the case of a 15-year-old female who was referred with a radiolucent lesion between her mandibular right molars. The original radiographic image suggested the presence of an odontogenic cyst. The surgical enucleation and the following osteotomy of the residual cavity was performed by using the piezoelectric technology.

Central odontogenic fibroma: a case report.

Objective: The aim of this case report was to analyze clinical and histological features of a central odontogenic fibroma followed up for 6 years after surgical excision.

Methods: A 26-year old Caucasian female was referred, reporting a painless gingival swelling in the buccal area of the maxillary right canine. There were no other symptoms and no recent history of pain.
