The aim of this study is to understand the upper alveolar ridge changes and its impact on Caldwell Luc surgery, in a patient papulation from a Medical College Hospital. We undertook a study to measure the thickness of upper alveolar ridge in edentulous and edentulous patients, to know the difference between the two and its effects on Caldwell Luc surgery. The finding of the study led us to conclude that the upper alveolar ridge is quite thin in edentulous patients and requires care while scraping the unhealthy mucosa from the floor of the maxillary sinus in Caldwell Luc surgery.

Background: Gingival recession defects (GRDs) pose functional and esthetic concerns and may be associated with unfavorable tooth positions. Surgically facilitated orthodontic treatment (SFOT) with clear aligners can be a valuable option for adults with severe malocclusion and GRDs.
Methods: A 28-year-old male presented with severe dental crowding, Class III dental malocclusion, localized tooth crossbites, and tapered maxillary arch.

This case report emphasizes the complexities involved in dental implant placement within the anterior esthetic zone, focusing on the integration of advanced surgical techniques and meticulous prosthetic design for optimal esthetic and functional results. A 28-year-old male presented with the absence of the upper left central incisor, which had been extracted 5 years prior due to fracture. Clinical and radiographic assessments indicated normal alveolar bone levels; however, the esthetic demands required a specialized approach.

Apical fenestration is a defect in the alveolar cortical plate, exposing the root without involving the alveolar bone margin, often linked to trauma, periodontal disease, and orthodontic treatment, leading to symptoms such as pain and abscesses from endodontic infections. This case report describes managing a mucosal fenestration in an endodontically treated tooth with nonsurgical root canal therapy and periodontal surgery. A 44-year-old male presented with mucosal fenestration and pain in the upper front jaw due to trauma and an inadequately treated root canal.

Alveolar bone healing is influenced by various local and systemic factors, including the local inflammatory response. This study aimed to evaluate the role of inflammatory responsiveness in alveolar bone healing using 8-week-old male and female mice (N = 5/time/group) strains selected for maximum (AIRmax) or minimum (AIRmin) acute inflammatory response carrying distinct homozygous RR/SS genotypes, namely AIRminRR, AIRminSS, AIRmaxRR, and AIRmaxSS mice. After upper right incisor extraction, bone healing was analyzed at 0, 3, 7, and 14 days using micro-computed tomography, histomorphometry, birefringence, immunohistochemistry, and PCRArray analysis.

Background: Proper torque control is crucial to the outcome of orthodontic treatment. This study aimed to employ finite element analysis to compare the torque capabilities of a novel spherical self-ligating bracket with a lock-hook system against those of commonly used passive self-ligating and conventional bracket systems, as well as to reveal the biomechanical changes in the periodontal ligament (PDL) during torque expression.
Methods: A maxillary right central incisor, along with its PDL and alveolar bone, were modeled.
