Introduction And Importance: Surgical intervention is necessary to address significant three-dimensional bone loss in the posterior mandibular alveolar ridge when implants are planned, and primary stability cannot be achieved due to anatomical limitations. The objective of this study is to elucidate the surgical procedures for reconstructing significant bone loss in the posterior mandibular region and to present the outcomes and insights gained from this clinical case.
Case Presentation: A 42-year-old woman exhibited first lower molar loss, significant movement of the second molar, and severe bone loss at the same site.

Introduction And Importance: Alveolar clefts are frequently occurring congenital anomalies that can significantly impact both the functional and aesthetic aspects of an individual's life. Thus, reducing the quality of life. These clefts can give rise to difficulties in feeding, speech, and dental development.

This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between intrasinus bone gain (IBG) with the implant protrusion length (IPL) and the initial bone height (IBH) in transalveolar sinus floor elevation (TSFE) without bone graft procedures.

These techniques aim at minimizing postextraction bony resorption, hence, minimizing subsequent follow-up for implant insertion. This randomized clinical study aimed to measure and compare alveolar bone and soft tissue healing between extraction sockets treated with somatropin to untreated sockets.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOdontogenic keratocyst has been of particular interest due to its distinctive behavior and its tendency to frequently recurrence and the diversity of treatment methods. Researchers have differed over the past decades about the nature of this lesion, sometimes it was classified as a cyst and sometimes it was classified as a tumor because of its specific histopathologic features, high recurrence rate and aggressive behavior. We discuss a case of a large odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) that was treated by marsupialization followed by peripheral ostectomy.
