: This systematic review aimed to compare the tunnel technique for pre-implant bone regeneration with traditional flap techniques also involving a crestal incision, in terms of procedure success, graft healing, postoperative course, patient satisfaction, and implant follow-up. : A systematic search was conducted on MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials following PRISMA guidelines, searching for comparative prospective and retrospective studies in English, published between January 2002 and April 2024. The population of interest consisted of patients with edentulous ridge atrophy requiring pre-implant bone regeneration.

Materials And Methods: 72 metal specimens were fabricated using the same Co-Cr alloy (Keramit NP; Nobil Metal) with three different techniques: ingots for casting (Keramit NP); disks for CAD/CAM milling (Synergy Drive Keramit NP); and powder for SLM (Keramit NP-S). Each of the 24-specimen groups, was divided into two subgroups, according to the application, or not, of Nobil Metal Bonding (NMB) (Nobil Metal).
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of a staining solution on color stability of resins for complete dentures produced with conventional and digital technologies.
Materials And Methods: 60 resin specimens were prepared and divided in 6 groups of 10 specimens each: Probase Hot (PH, Ivoclar AG), IvoBase CAD (IBC, Ivoclar AG), Ivotion Dent (ID, Ivoclar AG), Ivotion Dent Multi (IDM, Ivoclar AG), Dima Print Denture Base (DPDB, Kulzer), and Dima Print Denture Teeth (DPDT, Kulzer). One surface of each specimen was polished following the manufacturer's instructions.

Article Synopsis
- Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is an autoimmune disease that causes blistering mainly in mucous membranes, with rare cases affecting the skin; a case study highlighted the impact of the drug etanercept on MMP-like symptoms in a 40-year-old woman.* -
- The symptoms, including recurring desquamative gingivitis, were linked to the timing of drug treatment, with flare-ups occurring when the drug was resumed and improvement when it was stopped, supported by laboratory findings.* -
- The case identifies a possible adverse drug reaction and discusses the significance of TNF-α in the condition's mechanism, emphasizing the complexity of autoimmune disorders, medication interactions, and external influences like viral infections like
At low medically-relevant concentrations, ozone serves as an oxidant with a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity and the ability to promote healing and reduce inflammation. Despite providing therapeutic benefits in a range of diseases, certain adverse effects and contraindications of ozone treatment must be considered. These are primarily related to toxicity from inhalation and systemic types of administration and can be avoided by following relevant guidelines and recommendations.
