This study aimed to describe Traumatic Dental Injuries (TDI) in a child population, with a discussion focused on the impact of non-clinical variables on TDI. A cross-sectional, descriptive, and relational study about TDI in deciduous dentition in a children's hospital was performed. A total of 166 patients were included, of which 51.

Purpose: Early implant failures have been observed in dental implant treatments even when the procedures are performed under appropriate conditions and in patients without local or systemic contraindications, suggesting that an intrinsic component of the patient could modify the osseointegration process. The objective of this systematic review was to analyze the association between early implant failure and genetic polymorphisms.
Materials And Methods: A systematic search was performed in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus databases using the PRISMA statement as the main guidelines and "Dental implant" AND "Polymorphism" as search terms.
Aim: To develop a new surgical model for sinus floor augmentation (SFA) in rabbit for experimental purposes.
Materials And Methods: Eight adult rabbits were used, two for a surgical design using the anatomical dissection study, and the other six for an endoscopically assisted intraoral approach of SFA unilaterally, creating a subantral space where an allograft biomaterial was deposited. SFA was verified through cone-beam computerized tomography.
