A technique which precludes the swallowing of dental restorations during fitting and cementation has been described. An alternative technique is to spot-weld a small loop or wire to the finished crown. Dental floss may be attached to the loop. Another method is to attach a piece of unwaxed floss to the completed crown with Eastman adhesive 910. The floss is removed after the restoration is cemented.

Early introduction of oral feeding and its impact on full oral feeding and discharge in preterm infants: a systematic review protocol.
JBI Evid Synth
January 2025
Department of Health Sciences, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan.
Objective: This review aims to examine the impact of early introduction of oral feeding, compared with standard care, on the duration of achieving full oral feeding, postmenstrual ages at full oral feeding and discharge, and weight gain in preterm infants.
Introduction: Because of their immature oral function, preterm infants are prone to feeding difficulties during hospitalization and after hospital discharge. Early introduction of oral feeding helps infants to coordinate sucking, swallowing, and respiration, thereby improving their oral feeding skills.

Department of Dentistry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences Bhopal, Bhopal, India.
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated mucormycosis of the maxilla emerged as a significant concern in India during the second wave of the pandemic, necessitating surgical interventions such as maxillectomy. This study investigated the quality of life following prosthodontic rehabilitation with interim obturators in patients who underwent bilateral total maxillectomy due to COVID-19-associated mucormycosis of the jaws.
Methods: The study was conducted using questionnaire-based interviews administered by a single investigator employing the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) and Obturator Functioning Scale (OFS) questionnaires.

Department of Removable Prosthodontics and Gerodontology, Osaka University Graduate School of Dentistry, Osaka, Japan.
Purpose: This study aimed to explore the association between oral function and mental health status in older adults and to determine the potential mediating roles of fruit and vegetable intake and social interaction.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 478 community-dwelling older adults aged ≥75 years in Japan. Oral functions (occlusal force, masticatory performance, tongue pressure, tongue-lip motor function, and swallowing function), mental health status, dietary assessment, frequency of outings and interactions with others, and the following confounders were evaluated: educational level, financial satisfaction, residential status, comorbidities, and cognitive function.
Pedicle ossification following mandibular reconstruction using fibular free flap in a patient with osteoradionecrosis of the jaw: a case report.

Article Synopsis
- Pedicle ossification is a rare complication that can occur after using a fibular free flap (FFF) for mandibular reconstruction, potentially simulating tumor recurrence and leading to diagnostic challenges.
- A case study of a 38-year-old male with squamous cell carcinoma highlighted how postoperative complications led to the need for FFF reconstruction, and over 4 years, CT scans showed ossification in the flap's vascular pedicle, yet the patient remained asymptomatic.
- Regular imaging and clinical assessments are key to distinguishing ossification from tumor recurrence, with surgery usually only considered if symptoms arise.
