Digital work-flow.

Objective: The project presents a clinical case in which the digital work-flow procedure was applied for a prosthetic rehabilitation in natural teeth and implants.

Materials: Digital work-flow uses patient's photo for the aesthetic's planning, digital smile technology for the simulation of the final restoration and real time scanning to register the two arches. Than the scanning are sent to the laboratory that proceed with CAD-CAM production.

Full rehabilitation with nobel clinician(®) and procera implant bridge(®): case report.

Implant surgery has been changing in different ways following improvements of computer technologies. Since its beginning, according to the original procedures of Branemårk system implants, guide-lines in implants-supported prosthetic rehabilitation have been founding on the placement of fixtures in a fairly upright position, after maxillary sinus floor elevation; while in the case of interforaminal rehabilitation, an upright distal implant may need to be placed anterior to the mental foramina without nerve damage (although the consequence would have been bilateral cantilevers to provide good chewing capacity). Some authors have proposed engaging the molar/tuberosity area: Bahat and Venturelli demonstrated these areas reliable and predictable alternative to distal cantilever prostheses or sinus elevation procedures.

Oral tuberculosis: a tongue case report.

The authors report a case of oral tuberculosis in a 38-year-old heavy cigarette smoker man. He showed a painful, non-healing ulcer with indurated borders of the lateral surface of the tongue. No tonsil or lymph node enlargement was also noted.

An unusual case of third molar displaced into the infratemporal fossa.

Third molar displacement into the infratemporal fossa during a surgical extraction is a rare event. Nevertheless, because of the presence of several vascular and neurological trunks through the infratemporal fossa, a correct management of this unusual surgical complication is fundamental in order to avoid many potential serious side effects. In this report, an unusual case of upper third molar displacement into the infratemporal fossa is presented.

Evaluation of effects on bone tissue of different osteotomy techniques.

The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the response of bone tissue after osteotomy carried out with either rotating cutters or with piezoelectric terminals.Bioptic samples of bone tissue were taken during operations with rotating burs and piezoelectric terminals to increase bone volume before implantology. Samples first underwent histomorphometric analysis.
