Objectives: To draw up guidelines for ENT management associated with dental implant surgery with or without sinus lift.
Materials And Methods: The methodology followed the rules of laid down by the French Health Authority (HAS): "Methodological bases for drawing up professional recommendations by formalized consensus". The chosen method was the RAND/UCLA "RAND appropriateness method" (short version).
Results: In the pre-implantation check-up, it is recommended to systematically screen for sinonasal pathology on medical interview and to favor 3D CT or cone-beam imaging. It is recommended that imaging include the entire maxillary sinus when the patient does not have sinonasal history or functional signs on interview. Otherwise, examination of all sinonasal cavities is recommended. This attitude enables simultaneous analysis of maxillary infrastructure for pre-implantation work-up and assessment of sinonasal cavity status. Sinus mucosal incidentalomas are very common in the healthy population and must be assessed with reference to the clinical, endoscopic and radiological context.
Conclusion: This formalized expert consensus establishes a common base of knowledge, to clarify the issues and clinical situations and to standardize practices.

Implant placement for dental rehabilitation has gained more popularity among patients in the recent past. Dental Implants are the workhorse of dentistry. Previously, the implants were placed with the help of the traditional freehand approach.

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.

Mechanical and thermal cell damage can occur due to invasive procedures related to drilling, the insertion of dental implants, and periodontal treatments. Necrotic cells release the content of their cytoplasm and membrane fragments, thereby signaling the need for repair, which includes bone resorption by osteoclasts and inflammation. Here we screened lysates from human gingival fibroblasts, HSC2 and TR146 oral squamous carcinoma cell lines, as well as murine IDG-SW3 osteocytic and RAW264.

Objectives: To investigate the correlation between gingival thickness (GT) and buccal bone thickness (BBT), as well as the effects of GT, BBT, bone crest level (BC), and tooth position on the buccal gingival margin location of maxillary teeth in the esthetic zone.
Materials And Methods: Periodontally healthy subjects with prior cone beam computed tomography and intraoral scans for dental implant planning were included. The hard and soft tissue measurements were retrospectively analyzed digitally.

Aim: To evaluate risk indicators for gingival recessions (GRs) in the lower anterior teeth of orthodontic patients post treatment and during a retention period of at least 5 years, compared to non-treated controls.
Material And Methods: Eighty-nine orthodontically treated patients who were recession-free before treatment were recruited. Demographic, cephalometric and occlusal records were retrieved before (T1) and after treatment (T2), and periodontal outcomes were clinically evaluated at least 5 years post retention (T3).
