Objective: To treat the patients with anterior spaces caused by periodontal diseases with aligners and evaluate the periodontal conditions before and after treatment.
Methods: Seven patients with anterior spaces ranged from 3.0 to 4.5 mm were randomly selected. All the patients were treated with aligner technique to close the spaces. Bleeding on probing (BOP) and probing depth (PD) were measured before treatment, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after treatment. The CEJ-ABC distance was evaluated before treatment, 1 month, and 6 months after treatment.
Results: No significant differences were found in periodontal evaluation and the CEJ-ABC distance between any two evaluated stages.
Conclusions: The aligners could be used in patients with anterior spaces caused by periodontal diseases. No periodontal tissue damages were found during the observation period.

Orthognathic surgery-related condylar resorption in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion versus class III malocclusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BMC Oral Health

School of Dentistry, Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, 28040, Spain.
Background: Orthodontic-orthognathic treatment is the standard of care for moderate and/or severe skeletal class III (SCIII) malocclusion. Following orthognathic surgery, morphological changes in the temporomandibular joint structures (TMJ) may contribute to condylar resorption (CR).
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to identify the morphological signs of condylar resorption (changes in the condylar head, position, neck, disk, and joint space) following orthognathic surgery in patients with SCIII compared with those with skeletal class II (SCII) malocclusion.
Anterior lumbar interbody fusion: patient selection and workup.

Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is an anterior surgical approach for interbody fusion in the lumbar spine which affords the surgeon unfettered access to the disc space and allows for release of the anterior longitudinal ligament and insertion of a large, lordotic interbody graft. Despite the benefits associated with ALIF when compared with other lumbar interbody fusion techniques, the ALIF approach is associated with a number of unique complications, and certain patient-specific criteria (e.g.

BACKGROUND Surgery involving the right retroperitoneum can result in lymphatic (chylous) leakage from the cisterna chyli located anterior to the L1 and L2 vertebra or from lymph node dissection. This report describes a 46-year-old woman with retroperitoneal lymphatic (chylous) leak following right adrenalectomy for a nonfunctional adrenal adenoma. CASE REPORT A 46-year-old woman presented with a medical history of hypertension.

At present, the choice of approach for the surgical treatment of cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) remains controversial. We performed this meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of the anterior and posterior approaches in the treatment of cervical OPLL. PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for all eligible articles as of August 3, 2023, without any publication date restrictions.

Background: Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are slow-growing, expansile bone tumors most often observed in the long bones and lumbar and thoracic spine. Anterior column ABCs of the spine are rare, and few cases have described their surgical management, particularly for lesions with extension into the odontoid process and the bilateral C2 pedicles. In the present case, the authors describe a two-stage strategy for resection of a symptomatic 2.
