Digital and analog techniques for cemento-enamel junction reconstruction: A case study.

Background: Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) refer to the loss of dental hard tissue in the cervical region due to physical and/or chemical factors, often associated with the disappearance of the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), posing challenges in both diagnosis and treatment of gingival recessions (GR). This case study introduces two protocols for multidisciplinary CEJ reconstruction prior to the root coverage therapy (RCT).

Methods: Two patients with GR and NCCLs were treated using two CEJ reconstruction techniques: both, analogically and digitally guided.

Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Review and Update.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) was first described in the 1990s, showing an increasing incidence and prevalence since then, being the leading cause of food impaction and the major cause of dysphagia. Probably, in a few years, EoE may no longer be considered a rare disease. This article discusses new aspects of the pathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of EoE according to the last published guidelines.

Hypoesthesia of the malleolus as a soft sign in depression.

Background: Physical signs often are present in many psychiatric conditions, making up a fundamental part of them and accompanying the psychiatric manifestations themselves. Identifying minor neurological signs is especially of interest due to they are easily accessible through simple neurological examination and could be a useful if underused tool for the diagnostic process and patient therapy.

Method: A group of depressed patients (n=85) and group of healthy individuals (n=101) that served as control were examined using the Wartenberg wheel, a medical device for neurological use, in order to determine the presence of hypoesthesia on both sides of their ankles.
