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.

Article Synopsis
  • Facial skin issues like dimpling require accurate diagnosis, especially when they might be linked to dental problems, as shown in a case study of a 19-year-old girl with a facial dimple tied to dental infections.
  • * The girl had a dimple that appeared after a failed root canal treatment, suggesting a connection between her skin condition and a dental abscess.
  • * Identifying the dental origin of skin lesions is crucial, as it helps avoid incorrect treatments and ensures that the right medical care is provided for dental-related skin issues.

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.

Unlabelled: A transalveolar sinus lift is a safe and predictable long-term surgical approach. Several factors affect clinical and radiographic outcomes. 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.

Unlabelled: Techniques for preserving alveolar bone after tooth extraction are becoming a part of the usual clinical practice of clinicians. 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.

Odontogenic 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.
