The last decennia more and more patients are aware of the advantages of a good dental health. Dental minded parents in their children visit the dentist (general practitioner, GP) on a regular basis for a routine check up. During this check up, signs of possible future orthodontic problems can be encountered by the GP. In this article guidelines are handed to the GP by means of a flow chart which can be used at the end of the dental examination. Anterior/posterior relation, cross-bites, deep and open bite, habits and crowding shall be briefly discussed. Heaving knowledge of these, the GP can decide referring the patient to the orthodontist for further orthodontic evaluation.

Department of Periodontology, Narsinhbhai Patel Dental College and Hospital, Sankalchand Patel University, Visnagar, Gujarat, India.
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the impact of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on pain, swelling, trismus, soft tissue healing and bone regeneration following mandibular third molar extraction.
Material And Methods: A systematic review was conducted from a period of January 2014 to June 2024 using PRISMA guidelines. The search strategy included databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, using key terms related to "PRF", "PRP", oral surgery, and third molars.
Increasing Bone Regeneration in Maxillary Sinus Augmentation Using Platelet-rich Fibrin: An Interventional Pre-Post Study.
J Contemp Dent Pract

Department of Pediatrics Dentistry and Orthodontics, Faculty Odonto-Stomatology, Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Can Tho City, Vietnam.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a combination of immediate implant placement with maxillary sinus augmentation (MSA) solely using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on guided bone regeneration.
Materials And Methods: An interventional before-after (pre-post) study design was used with 30 dental patients (≥18 years of age; 14 males and 16 females) with initial bone heights ranging between 4 and 6 mm. Following the general check-up and the creation of a study model, the planned implant location demonstrated an external right maxilla diameter of more than 5 mm, thereby validating the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiograph.

Body piercing has become popular among people of all ages, inspired by religious convictions, personal aesthetics, and cultural influences. Piercings in the oral cavity frequently involve the lip, buccal mucosa, frenulum, and tongue with needles, hooks, and rings. However, these piercings might cause long-term problems to both the hard and soft tissues of the mouth.

Automatic 3-dimensional tooth segmentation on intraoral scans (IOS) plays a pivotal role in computer-aided orthodontic treatments. In practice, deploying existing well-trained models to different medical centers suffers from two main problems: (1) the data distribution shifts between existing and new centers, which causes significant performance degradation. (2) The data in the existing center(s) is usually not permitted to be shared, and annotating additional data in the new center(s) is time-consuming and expensive, thus making re-training or fine-tuning unfeasible.
