Knowledge about the stability of fiber posts cemented in widened canal spaces over time is scarce in the literature. Thus, the purpose of this case report was to evaluate the performance of a direct anatomical post in a widened canal space over the course of four years. The present clinical case describes the rehabilitation of a widened canal space using a direct anatomical post (a resin composite combined with a prefabricated glass fiber post) associated with an all-ceramic crown and other restorative procedures. This technique is easy to perform and may solve some of the problems associated with the cementation of a poorly adapted fiber post in a widened canal space.

Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a group of disorders in which there is an alteration in acid-base homeostasis because of the impairment of nephrons to excrete hydrogen ions or reabsorb bicarbonate ions, resulting in chronic metabolic acidosis. RTA is an important cause of rickets, particularly 'resistant rickets'. Dental manifestations frequently reported in patients with RTA include enamel hypoplasia and amelogenesis imperfecta, affecting permanent dentition.

Objective: Size at birth is a key indicator of in utero growth. Our objective was to generate sex-specific percentiles for birth weight and head circumference in neonates born between 22 and 29 weeks gestation from pregnancies without hypertension or diabetes and assess differences between vaginal and caesarean births and between singletons and twins.

Methods: We used data from 12 countries participating in the International Network for Evaluating Outcomes in Neonates database from 2007 to 2021.

Article Synopsis
  • The meta-analysis focused on the morphometric properties of the lumbar vertebrae to provide current and evidence-based data.
  • A total of 1481 patients were analyzed, revealing that the spinal canal width and transverse processes increase towards the lower lumbar vertebrae, while the height of pedicles decreases from L1 to L4 and then increases at L5.
  • The findings aim to aid physicians and surgeons by offering normative anatomical data that can improve surgical outcomes in procedures involving the lumbar spine.

Does internal fixation of shaft fracture show specificities in over-80 year-olds?

Article Synopsis
  • Osteoporotic fractures are becoming more common in elderly people, particularly in diaphyseal locations on native bones, which are less frequent overall.
  • Internal fixation methods must adapt due to changes in bone structure, requiring larger implants and specific types of screws to ensure stability and prevent further fractures.
  • Nailing is primarily used for femoral and tibial fractures, and in cases involving the tibia or humerus, techniques that are gentle on soft tissue are essential to avoid complications in fragile skin.

Abnormal widening of the mandibular canal -A characteristic and valuable imaging phenomenon.

J Stomatol Oral Maxillofac Surg

October 2024

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology, Beijing, 100081, China. Electronic address:

Abnormal widening of the mandibular canal (MC) is rarely observed on radiography. Nonetheless, as most of the current research on abnormal mandibular widening is limited to case reports and MCs have relatively deep and hidden positions, there are challenges in diagnosing and formulating treatment plans for patients with abnormal MC widening. To provide ideas for the differential diagnosis and treatment choices of the characteristic clinical sign, this study included patients with abnormal widening of the MC between July 2014 and October 2023.
