The occurrence of dental traumas in adult patients is on the rise, according to the literature, and require correct and adequate treatment specific to each fracture in order to preserve the remaining tooth. In this article, two different fracture cases are reported. Based upon these cases, it may be concluded that there are situations that require the clinician to have a multidisciplinary vision of the different dental specializations in order to effectively treat the patient.

Extensive and closely coordinated remodeling processes take place in the periodontal ligament (PDL) and the adjacent bone during orthodontic tooth movement. In complex orthodontic cases, it is necessary to move teeth into an augmented bony defect, for example, in patients with cleft lip, alveolus, and palate. The important role of the PDL during tooth movement is well accepted but not fully understood.

Hard and soft tissue remodelling after tooth extraction may result in a concave profile at the subsequent edentulous ridge. This defect may result in a sub-optimal aesthetic transition zone between the soft tissue and the pontic, which may appear to sit on the ridge, rather than emanating from within the ridge, as would a natural tooth. To optimise aesthetics, pontic site augmentation (PSA) (increasing the volume at the pontic site) and pontic site development (PSD) (remodelling the tissue at the pontic site) may provide a solution.

: The loss of teeth in the posterior maxillary region often leads to significant alveolar bone resorption and maxillary sinus pneumatization, complicating dental implant placement. Maxillary sinus grafting, typically using autogenous bone, is a common solution. However, autogenous bone grafts require additional surgical procedures, leading to increased morbidity.
