The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate the relative amount of cancellous bone in the mandibular ramus as a predictor of lingual fracture patterns after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). The study including 78 consecutive patients (156 osteotomy sites). In preoperative cone-beam computed tomographic (CT) scans, the volumes of cancellous and cortical bone in the BSSO surgical field were estimated. Patients were divided into two groups based on the cancellous:cortical bone ratio. We studied postoperative cone-beam CT scans for lingual fracture lines and subcategorised them according to the lingual split scale (LSS). Generalised linear mixed models (GLMM) were estimated to evaluate the association between the cancellous:cortical bone ratio and the lingual fracture pattern. There was a significant association between the cancellous:cortical bone ratio of the mandibular angle and the lingual fracture pattern after BSSO. Mandibular angles with a relatively small amount of cancellous bone showed significantly more LSS3 fracture lines (OR=1.990, 95%CI 1.043 to 3.796, p=0.043). These mandibular angles also showed more unfavourable fractures (LSS4), although this was not significant (OR=2.352, 95%CI 0.748 to 7.392, p=0.143). The relative amount of cancellous bone in the mandibular angle is significantly associated with the lingual fracture line after BSSO.

Mandibular and maxillary fractures are common in small animals and present significant challenges for repair due to the intricate anatomical features involved. This retrospective case series describes a technique for achieving rigid open mouth maxillomandibular fixation using interarch wiring while maintaining correct alignment between the upper and lower teeth with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) moulds of the canine teeth for treating maxillomandibular fractures in cats. The study includes a description of the postoperative outcomes and complications encountered.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of applying a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor on the fracture resistance of root-filled teeth restored with Everstick fiber-reinforced composite resin.
Subjects And Methods: After the selection of 60 freshly extracted human mandibular first molar, root canal access and standard uniformly sized mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavities were made and the teeth were randomly assigned into three groups ( = 20 each): Group I, the MOD cavity was first lined with flowable composite resin and then restored with composite resin. In Group II, Everstick fiber was placed into the bed of flowable composite in buccal-pulpal-lingual direction before the composite restoration was placed.
Comprehensive review of polyetheretherketone use in dentistry.

Article Synopsis
- This study reviews the current applications, limitations, and challenges of using polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in stomatology, highlighting its importance in various dental procedures.
- Numerous studies underscore PEEK's beneficial properties, such as biocompatibility and fracture resistance, and its use in many dental applications, including implants and orthodontic devices.
- Despite its potential, most evidence is based on short-term studies, indicating a need for more long-term clinical research to fully support PEEK's effectiveness in dentistry.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the effect of cavity designs on instrumentation, obturation and fracture resistance for mandibular first premolars with Vertucci V canal.
Methods: Mandibular first premolars with Vertucci V canal were scanned with microcomputed tomography. A total of 20 teeth with moderately curved canal were prepared with conservative endodontic cavity (CEC/M) or traditional endodontic cavity (TEC/M), and 30 with severely curved canal were prepared with CEC (CEC/S), modified CEC (MCEC/S) or TEC (TEC/S).

Objectives: To evaluate the reliability of 3 T MRI nerve-bone fusion in assessing the lingual nerve (LN) and its anatomical relationship to the lingual cortical plate prior to the impacted mandibular third molar (IMTM) extraction.
Methods: The MRI nerve and bone sequences used in this study were 3D-T2-weighted fast field echo (3D-T2-FFE) and fast field echo resembling a CT using restricted echo-spacing (FRACTURE), respectively. Both sequences were performed in 25 subjects, and the resulting 3D-T2-FFE/FRACTURE fusion images were assessed by two independent observers.
