Mucosal fenestration is an opening or an interstice through the oral mucosa. A lesion which occurs with greater frequency than generally realised, its occurrence is attributed to a myriad of causes. Mucogingival procedures including connective tissue grafts, free gingival grafts and lateral pedicle grafts are generally considered to be the treatment of choice in the closure of a mucosal fenestration. More often, these procedures are performed in conjunction with other procedures such as periradicular surgery and with bone grafts. However, the concomitant use of gingival grafts and bone grafts in mucosal fenestrations secondary to infections in sites exhibiting severe bone loss is highly debatable. In this article, we report two cases of mucosal fenestrations secondary to trauma and their management by regenerative periodontal surgery with the placement of guided tissue regeneration membrane and bone graft. The final outcome was a complete closure of the fenestration in both the cases.

Odontoma is a hamartoma or developmental malformation of dental tissues and often causes delayed or impacted permanent teeth. This paper reports a case of surgical removal of an odontoma that is closely attached to the labial bone plait and examines the extraction of accompanying high-impacted maxillary canine beside the nose and maxillary sinus. Digital technology was used in reconstructing a part of a patient's maxilla, odontoma, related teeth, and other adjacent anatomical structures, accurately determine the lesion boundary, and design an optimal surgical plan.

Statement Of Problem: Short implants are a therapeutic alternative for edentulous patients with severe bone resorption. Differences in peri-implant bone loss and complications of short implants depending on the type of connection are unclear.
Purpose: The main purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the survival rate after 2 years of the short implants in the Oxtein system (Proclinic).
Soft and hard tissue deficiencies around dental implants which can potentially compromise implant survival are commonly encountered. Complicated interventions are often required to address and resolve combinations of soft and hard tissue defects. This case report describes the management of peri-implant soft tissue fenestration accompanied by bony dehiscence associated with intrabony defect through soft tissue modification.

- Facial jewelry and medical devices can create artifacts in radiographic images, complicating diagnosis.
- This article discusses a unique radiographic anomaly caused by an oral piercing below the lower lip, which resembled dental issues.
- The radiolucency was linked to a large opening from using soft tissue expanders, prompting clinicians to consider soft tissue defects in unusual radiographic findings.

Rationale: Endodontic surgery, which includes apex resection, retro-fill and some regeneration procedures, is a traditional way to deal with apex fenestration. The endodontic surgery could bring large flap, curtate root length, non-healing mucosa and soft tissue deficiency in the apex area. Other treatment options might be considered according to different etiological factors.
