Improvements of facial profile and smile aesthetic using temporary anchorage devices and botulinum toxin: a case report.

The severe gummy smile and a skeletal class II profile pose challenges in treatment. This case report outlines an effective alternative for addressing these problems in a patient with skeletal class II division 2, class II molar relationship, retroclination of upper incisors, and lip protrusion. Treatment objectives included normalizing the overjet and overbite, improving the gummy smile, and establishing a satisfactory occlusion.

A multidisciplinary approach to managing severe gummy smile using 3D simulation and digital surgical guide: a case report.

A smile that reveals >4 mm of gum tissue is called a gummy smile (GS), offering negative impacts on people's self-confidence and aesthetic appearance. The treatment for GS should be planned according to underlying causes such as altered passive eruption of teeth, dentoalveolar extrusion, vertical maxillary excess, and short or hyperactive lip muscles. In this case report, a patient with severe GS received orthodontic and gingivoplasty treatment, aided by digital tools such as 3D simulation, smile design, and 3D printed guides.

Management of a severe skeletal open bite case using temporary anchorage devices and multiloop edgewise arch wire technique.

The primary cause of complex AOB malocclusion is typically a combination of dental, skeletal, functional, and habitual factors. Open bite correction is a challenging treatment due to its complexity and the requirement for long-term stability, therefore, multidisciplinary treatment is often the best option for achieving stable esthetic outcomes.

Use of surgical grafting as a part of multidisciplinary treatment for a patient treated with fixed orthodontic therapy to improve treatment outcomes.

Key Clinical Abstract: Multidisciplinary treatment options can help provide good clinical outcomes if these are appropriately sequenced and carried out correctly. This case exemplifies interdisciplinary involvement to ensure the patient received an improved esthetic outcome.

Abstract: The presence of anterior diastemas may compromise the esthetics of a patient's smile, causing mental, and social trauma in many patients.

The Economic Burden of Chronic Kidney Disease in Vietnam.

Our objective is to analyze the economic burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Vietnam, particularly in District 2 Hospital at Ho Chi Minh City in 2019. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The data source is the medical records of the patients.

Cross-Sectional Study to Characterise Nicotine Dependence in Central Vietnamese Men.

Tobacco is legally permitted for adults, easily available, and the prevalence of smoking is high. Tobacco use is the largest preventable risk factor for human disease. To reduce smoking, many countries have introduced public policy to restrict the distribution of tobacco.

Effects of probiotic supplement ( and ) on feed efficiency, growth performance, and microbial population of weaning rabbits.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of single or/and double strains of probiotic supplement on feed efficiency, growth performance, and microbial population in distal gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of weaning rabbits.

Methods: Sixty-four weaning (28 days old) New Zealand White rabbits were randomly distributed into four groups with treatments including: basal diet without probiotic supplement (control) or supplemented as follows: 1×10 cfu/g (BS group), 1×10 cfu/g (LA group), or 0.5×10 cfu/g plus 0.

Strong Impact of Smoking on Multimorbidity and Cardiovascular Risk Among Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Individuals in Comparison With the General Population.

Background.  Although acquired immune deficiency syndrome-associated morbidity has diminished due to excellent viral control, multimorbidity may be increasing among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons compared with the general population. Methods.

Rheological behavior of clay-nanoparticle hybrid-added bentonite suspensions: specific role of hybrid additives on the gelation of clay-based fluids.

Two different types of clay nanoparticle hybrid, iron oxide nanoparticle clay hybrid (ICH) and Al(2)O(3)-SiO(2) nanoparticle clay hybrid (ASCH), were synthesized and their effects on the rheological properties of aqueous bentonite fluids in steady state and dynamic state were explored. When ICH particles were added, bentonite particles in the fluid cross-link to form relatively well-oriented porous structure. This is attributed to the development of positively charged edge surfaces in ICH that leads to strengthening of the gel structure of the bentonite susensions.
