Disturbances of dental development may result in anomalies, which may be apparent as soon as the child is born. This report aims to describe the occurrence of natal teeth in a non-syndromic case of neonatal septic arthritis of the knee joint. Various systemic conditions have been associated with the occurrence of natal teeth in the past. The present report highlights the importance of a proper referral system between the pediatrician and the pediatric dentist to provide a multidisciplinary approach in the first few months of life.

Background: Cleft lip and/or palate is the most common congenital orofacial deformity, affecting 1/800 births. A thorough review of the literature has shown that children with cleft have poorer oral hygiene and dental health than other children, with higher levels of caries in both temporary and permanent teeth and poorer periodontal health. Cleft patients are treated by a multidisciplinary team that aims to provide comprehensive care from pre- or post-natal diagnosis to early adulthood and the end of growth.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a xenogeneic collagen matrix (XCM) in treating gingival recessions (GR) in a thin gingival phenotype. This double-blind, planned, controlled, split-mouth clinical trial included 30 patients with bilateral recessions, randomly assigned to a test group (extended flap + XCM) and a control group (extended flap + connective tissue graft; CTG). Root coverage at 18 months was 1.
