Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) are common in growing children. Among all the dental injuries, complicated crown root fractures (Andreasen Class VI) of maxillary permanent anterior teeth are relatively widespread. Such fractured teeth are often considered as hopeless and are extracted. However, if the tooth is to be retained, various treatment strategies have been proposed. The aim of the present case report is to suggest a new technique to treat a complicated crown root fracture. The management of this case included endodontic procedure and orthodontic extrusion to move the fracture line above the supragingival level. A customized removable Hawley's appliance with a modified single cantilever spring was fabricated and an anchoring Begg bracket was bonded on the residual crown of the tooth. This method is useful in the mixed dentition when there is insufficient anchorage of adjacent teeth because of preshedding mobility and trauma. Mohammad Z, Penmetcha S, Bagalkotkar A, Namineni S.

Retention of CAD-CAM locator retentive attachment insert in mandibular implant overdenture.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Removable Prosthodontics Department, Faculty of Dentistry, October 6 University, Giza, Egypt.
Background: The continuous development in digital prosthodontics allowed the customization of attachments and retentive inserts which offers an easy and cheap solution for regular maintenance of locator overdentures during daily practice. The present study compared the change in retention values of the fully digitally manufactured custom-made locator attachment retentive insert with the ready-made ones after insertion, removal, and masticatory cycles.
Methods: A complete denture was constructed over a mandibular edentulous epoxy model.

Article Synopsis
- Microfluidic channel systems have diverse biomedical applications such as drug delivery and cell culture, with 3D systems providing advanced capabilities to mimic biological processes effectively.
- The study explores a smart additive manufacturing technique to simplify the creation of these channels, using a 3D printed mold to bypass complicated bonding methods while incorporating dual mixing stages to optimize gradient outcomes.
- Optimization techniques revealed that specific channel dimensions and flow rates can significantly improve performance, resulting in low production costs of only 1.42 USD per channel.
Utility of Orthosis in the Conservative Treatment of Proximal Phalanx Fractures: A Preliminary Study in Healthy Participants.
Cureus

Graduate School of Medical, Kitasato University, Sagamihara, JPN.
Background: The standard treatment for the conservative management of a proximal phalanx fracture of the little finger involves immobilizing the fracture site with a cast. However, cast immobilization presents challenges in maintaining hygiene during treatment and restricts the fine motor movements of the fingers. In this study, we developed a removable orthosis that immobilizes only the ring and little fingers.

Department of Removable Prosthodontics, School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia.
This clinical report describes how a decubital ulcer arose from the direct contact of the vestibular movable mucous membrane against mini-implant balled-type heads after the mini-implant insertion in the edentulous atrophic mandible of a 78-year-old patient who was not wearing a conventional mandibular complete denture for more than 10 years. Due to severe alveolar ridge atrophy, mini-implant insertion (2.0 mm wide) was an option without extensive surgical procedures.
