Lips are important features because of their location, function, and aesthetics. Reconstruction of the upper lip presents the surgeon with one of the greatest challenges. Total upper lip reconstruction is a frequent and demanding procedure, and its difficulty is related to the size and the site of the loss of the aesthetic subunits such as the Cupid's bow and the philtral columns.

Non-surgical correction of an adult Class II high-angle with occlusal plane cant by four compromised permanent first molars extraction, preadjusted lingual appliance and miniscrews: A case report.
Int Orthod
January 2025
Private Practice, Osaka, Japan.
This case report describes a complex full-step asymmetrical Class II division 1 high-angle in an adult patient treated by extraction of compromised first molars with a preadjusted lingual appliance. Since the patient presented severe sagittal and vertical discrepancies combined with an Izard orthofrontal profile with upper lip protrusion, an extraction camouflage was performed with the twofold aim of obtaining ideal occlusal relationship and profile improvement, correcting occlusal plane cant by selective intrusion with interradicular miniscrews. Appropriate biomechanical strategies, including extraction choice and anchorage control during space closure, were needed to achieve the planned results.

Purpose: The current project aimed to examine the effects of two experimental cognitive-linguistic paradigms, the Stroop task and a primed Stroop task, on speech kinematics and perioral muscle activation.
Method: Acoustic, kinematic, and surface electromyographic data were collected from the verbal responses of 30 young adult healthy control participants in choice response, classic Stroop, and primed Stroop tasks. The classic and primed Stroop tasks included congruent and incongruent trials.

Keloid tissue represents an abnormal proliferation of fibroblasts, typically resulting from skin injury. These lesions can lead to significant physiological dysfunction and aesthetic concerns, particularly when located on the face. Traditional treatments, such as intralesional injections, laser therapy, and surgical excision, have shown limited efficacy and are associated with high recurrence rates.

The literature suggests that the cranial base angle is considered one of the contributing factors to sagittal jaw malpositions when its relationship with the viscerocranium is examined. Our study aims to compare and evaluate the outcomes of fixed functional orthopedic treatment in patients with mandibular retrognathia across different cranial base groups. Participants were treated at Erciyes University with fixed functional appliances and categorized by CBA into low (<130°), medium (130°-134°), and high (>134°) groups.
