The authors report two cases of galactoceles with unusual radiographic patterns, different from those ordinarily described either (opacity or radiocrescent); that is an aspect with a clear superior crescent related to a level between milk and fat, included in a localized galactophoric dilatation.

Background/purpose: Identifying crestal bone level (CBL) on the buccal and lingual aspects poses challenges in conventional dental radiographs. Given that optical coherence tomography (OCT) has the capability to non-invasively provide in-depth information about the periodontium, this in vitro study aimed to assess whether OCT can effectively identify periodontal landmarks and measure CBL in the presence of gingiva.
Materials And Methods: An in-house handheld scanning probe connected to a 1310-nm swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) system, along with self-developed algorithms were employed to measure the CBL in dental models with artificial gingiva.

Background/purpose: Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury is the most serious complication associated with dental implant surgery, posing difficulties in treatment and potential for permanent disabilities. This study aimed to identify patient-related risk factors for IAN injury during implant placement and to investigate sensory disturbances depending on whether the implant was removed.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-eight patients with implant-related IAN injury were included.

Background: Indirect pulp capping is the main treatment modality for reversible pulpitis.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Biodentine® and Calcium hydroxide in the formation of dentin bridge.
Materials And Methods: A double blinded, randomized clinical control trial involving 50 consenting subjects, aged 16 to 55 years with deep carious vital teeth.

The paper presents a detailed gross anatomical description of the elements of the pelvic limb in the African green monkey and provides comparative and differential elements on pelvic limb monkey osteology. The osteometric investigation adds value to the gross morphological and radiological investigation, adjoining metric data to the gross descriptive data set. The main methodology used was the gross morphological investigation, doubled by regular osteometrical and radiographical assessments.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic efficacy of micro crestal flap-alveolar ridge preservation following extraction of mandibular molars with severe periodontitis compared with natural healing, and to preliminarily propose the surgical indication.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from patients with mandibular molars with severe periodontitis either receiving micro crestal flap-alveolar ridge preservation (MCF-ARP group) or undergoing natural healing in department of periodontology, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from September 2013 to June 2021. Cone-beam computed tomography scannings performed before/immediately after extraction (as baseline) and repeated before implantation (after the extraction socket healing) were used to measure the ridge width, height and volumetric changes of the sockets, and the proportion of guided bone regeneration (GBR) during implant therapy were compared between the two groups.
