Neurofibromatosis type 1 is the most common autosomal dominant disorder of the nerve sheath and best defined phakomatosis. It usually affects skeletal system, central nervous system, eye, endocrine gland and cardiovascular system. Gingival involvement is very rare. We report radiological findings of three patients with plexiform neurofibroma who had diffuse, unilateral gingival involvement.

Enamel renal gingival syndrome in Indian scenario: A systematic review.
Med J Armed Forces India

Commandant, Army Dental Centre (Research & Referral), New Delhi, India.
Background: Enamel renal gingival syndrome (ERS) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the FAM20A gene located on long arm of chromosome 17. It is characterized by presence of intra-oral features like hypoplastic type of amelogenesis imperfecta, fibromatosis of gingiva and nephrocalcinosis in addition to delayed eruption. The oral phenotype is evident in childhood, whereas the renal involvement is clinically silent at this age and requires further investigation for detection at later age.

Materials And Methods: Patients needing implant therapy in the posterior area were treated with a 1-stage surgery protocol; concave (CONC) or straight (STR) healing abutments were randomly assigned after implant installation. Before surgery, a CBCT and an intra-oral scan were obtained (IOS#0); IOS#1 was taken after soft tissue healing.
Pulp health and calcific healing of a complicated crown-root fracture with additional root fracture in a maxillary incisor: A case report.
World J Clin Cases

Stomatological Hospital and College, Anhui Medical University, Hefei 230032, Anhui Province, China.
Background: Complicated crown-root fracture (CRF) involves severe injury to the crown, root, and pulp, and may be accompanied by multiple root fractures. The loss of a tooth has lifelong consequences for children and teenagers, but the maintenance of pulp health and the calcific healing of multiple root fractures are rarely reported in the literature.
Case Summary: This case reports healing of a permanent tooth with complicated crown-root and additional root fractures, in which pulp health was maintained.

Objective: the ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE4) is recognized as the primary genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and has been associated with chronic inflammatory conditions, such as periodontal disease (PD). PD has been identified as having a potentiating effect that favors the development and progression of AD. This scoping review investigates the potential relationship between PD and AD through APOE4 METHODS: the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology was used.

Department of Biomedical and Neuromotor Sciences, Bologna University, Piazza di Porta S. Donato St 2, 40-127, Bologna, Italy.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to propose a new difficulty score for the treatment of multiple gingival recessions (GRs) with Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel (MCAT), and to test the score's reliability.
Material And Methods: A difficulty score was developed for the assessment and grading of 13 relevant anatomical parameters at baseline. Six experienced dental practitioners evaluated existing GRs in three patients.
