A Smile Reimagined: Gummy Smile Resolution with Cutting Edge Method Using Chu's Gauge and Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Bone Cement.

Excessive gingival display (EGD) is one of the most common aesthetic concerns, and its correction often presents a challenge to periodontists. It has a multifactorial etiology, and this article describes a case involving hypermobile upper lip (HUL), altered passive eruption (APE), and vertical maxillary excess (VME). Upon investigation, a positive collum angle and marked subnasal skeletal depression were observed.

Evaluation of the surface characteristics and antibacterial properties of Titanium dioxide nanotube and methacryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine (MPC) coated orthodontic brackets-a comparative invitro study.

Objectives: White spot lesions are the most common iatrogenic effect observed during orthodontic treatment. This study aimed to compare the surface characteristics and antibacterial action of uncoated and coated orthodontic brackets.

Materials And Methods: Sixty commercially available stainless steel brackets were coated with TiO nanotubes and methacryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine.

Tilapia fish waste: An asset for tissue engineering - A review.

Fisheries and aquaculture output have exploded due to an alarming increase in consumption due to the global understanding of the nutritional advantages of fish. Inadvertently, the methods produce a massive amount of fish waste, posing a serious environmental threat. Recycling this waste has now become a major point of controversy that must be resolved.

Flap versus Flapless Immediate Implants with Bone Augmentation: A Novel Study.

Background: This study aimed to equate implants placed using a traditional flap elevation technique with implants placed using a flapless process regarding bone healing and success in clinical conditions.

Materials And Methods: Sixty subjects were included in this research work. The participants were randomly divided into two groups.

Decoding the influence of the immune system and immunotherapy targets on carcinomas: A hidden prism in oral cancer therapy.

In recent decades, understanding tumorigenesis and the complex interaction between the host and the immune system has been the pillar for significant advances in anticancer therapy. Conventional anticancer therapy (e.g.

Treatment of Multiple Adjacent Class I and Class II Gingival Recessions by Modified Microsurgical Tunnel Technique and Modified Coronally Advanced Flap Using Connective Tissue Graft: A Randomized Mono-center Clinical Trial.

Background: Complete and uneventful recession coverage should be the aim of gingival recession treatment. Systematic reviews have said that coronally advanced flap with connective tissue graft (CTG) is the gold standard for gingival recession treatment. Minimally invasive procedures with optical magnification allow minimal tissue manipulation and precise adaptation of wound edges helping in faster and uneventful healing, thus bringing about a satisfactory clinical and patient outcome.

Critical Assessment on Unmet Oral Health Needs and Oral Health-related Quality of Life Among Old Age Home Inhabitants in Karnataka, India.

Purpose: To critically assess the unmet oral health needs and oral health-related quality of life among old age home inhabitants in Karnataka, India.

Methods: A total of 96 older adults (males=32, 33.33%, females=64, 66.

Double papilla repositioned flap for the treatment of isolated recession - A case report.

Root coverage is achieved by many procedures like free gingival autografts, connective tissue grafts and pedicle grafts. Several studies state that root coverage using connective tissue grafts have high success rates but have disadvantages like creation of second surgical site and post-operative color harmony is less. Although Cohen and Ross reported more than 85% success in covering denuded roots, the degree of success varies among other clinicians.

Nanorobots: Future in dentistry.

The purpose of this paper is to review the phenomenon of nanotechnology as it might apply to dentistry as a new field called nanodentistry. Treatment possibilities might include the application of nanotechnology to local anesthesia, dentition renaturalization, the permanent cure for hypersensitivity, complete orthodontic realignment in a single visit, covalently bonded diamondized enamel, and continuous oral health maintenance using mechanical dentifrobots. Dental nanorobots could be constructed to destroy caries-causing bacteria or to repair tooth blemishes where decay has set in, by using a computer to direct these tiny workers in their tasks.

Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of potassium nitrate desensitizing mouthwash and a toothpaste in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity.

Potassium Nitrate has been used as a desensitizing agent to treat dentinal hypersensitivity. The effectiveness of a potassium nitrate is evaluated both in the form of a toothpaste and a mouthwash in a clinical study. Thirty patients were assessed using evaporative stimuli and thermal stimuli and response was evaluated using Visual Analogue Scale at baseline, at 2 weeks and 4 weeks.
