In open bite case treatments, a proper diagnostic differentiation is essential in determining the appropriate corrective procedures. Dental open bites are generally more responsive to treatment with orthodontics alone, whereas skeletal open bites often require a combination of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. Patient selection and treatment principles for non-surgical open bite treatment routinely include fixed appliances both labial or lingual. However, removable clear aligners have gained a consistent popularity in the treatment of complex cases including open bite malocclusions. In this article, the authors describe three different clinical cases in which open bite cases had been satisfactorily treated by using clear aligners.

Background: R21 is a novel malaria vaccine, composed of a fusion protein of the malaria circumsporozoite protein and hepatitis B surface antigen. Following favourable safety and immunogenicity in a phase 1 study, we aimed to assess the efficacy of R21 administered with Matrix-M (R21/MM) against clinical malaria in adults from the UK who were malaria naive in a controlled human malaria infection study.
Methods: In this open-label, partially blinded, phase 1-2A controlled human malaria infection study undertaken in Oxford, Southampton, and London, UK, we tested five novel vaccination regimens of R21/MM.

Despite frequent occurrences, especially throughout the Appalachian region, fish bite injuries remain largely underreported. Muskellunge anglers are at a particularly heightened risk due to the fish's large mouth and notably sharp teeth. We present a case of a male who sustained an injury to the right volar thumb following a muskellunge bite.

Introduction: Macroglossia is a frequent clinical feature of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), a congenital overgrowth disorder. Macroglossia can lead to abnormal breathing, feeding, speech, and dentoskeletal development. Partial glossectomy is a common intervention aimed at reducing these abnormalities.
