Regenerative periodontal surgery is an effective procedure for the treatment of intrabony defects. Various flap designs preserving the defect-associated interdental papilla have been proposed to improve early wound stability. This case report describes the long-term results of a regenerative treatment in severely compromised mandibular canine using entire papilla preservation technique. Surgical access was provided by a single buccal vertical incision without any papilla incision. Combination of autogenous bone harvested from the same surgical site and recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2 was applied to non-contained intrabony defect following the granulation tissue removal. Surgical site was closed with single interrupted sutures. The clinical outcomes and 5-year stability of pocket closure with no increase in gingival recession show the potential of entire papilla preservation technique with the use of combined biomaterials.

Cap-to-bell stage molar tooth morphogenesis occurs through proliferation-independent sulcus sharpening and condensation-associated tension in the dental papilla.

The anatomy of molar teeth is important both functionally for chewing food and in evolutionary studies as a well-preserved species marker in the fossil record. Molar teeth begin to develop their characteristic biting-surface shape of cusps (peaks) and sulci (valleys) at the bell stage, when corresponding folds in the dental epithelium become apparent. Theories about the developmental mechanisms of cusp and sulcus morphogenesis have hitherto largely focused on the non-proliferating nature of the secondary enamel knots (EKs) at the cusp tips.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on Helobdella lineata, a l eechnative to northeastern North Carolina, providing the first detailed description of the species over a twelve-year period.
- Researchers collected 404 specimens from various locations, observing significant variability in dorsal papillae and pigment patterns, which suggest adaptive camouflage rather than separate species.
- A key discovery is H. lineata's unique adaptation for feeding on snails, involving specialized salivary cells that enable extra-oral digestion before ingestion, marking a major evolutionary change in its feeding mechanism.
The paper details new geographic records of two species of the genus Polycelis Ehrenberg,1831 (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida, Planariidae) for the Qinling Mountains and the Loess Plateau in China and provides redescriptions of these species based on an integrative taxonomic study involving morphology, karyology, and histology. This new information considerably expands our knowledge on these species, for which until now only limited data was available. The species Polycelis asiatica Selinova, 1985 is characterized by the following features: 63-80 eyes; sperm ducts that exhibit an intrabulbar knee-shaped bend towards the ventral surface before opening separately and symmetrically into the antero-dorsal portion of a large seminal vesicle; the latter is ventrally displaced, thus creating a narrow ventral lip on the penis papilla; dorsal wall of the seminal vesicle is provided with several well-developed folds; more or less bulbous penis papilla protrudes from the dorsal wall of the male atrium and is provided with a slender and flexible tip; chromosome complement diploid with 30 metacentric chromosomes, 8 submetacentric chromosomes, and 2 subtelocentric chromosomes.

Article Synopsis
- Esthetic and phonetic issues often arise after periodontal regeneration of anterior teeth, even when the treatment is deemed successful.
- Conventional techniques mainly focus on deeper bone defects but often overlook the critical loss of interdental papillae.
- The introduced papillary coronal anchorage technique is a new surgical method that allows for effective reconstruction of both the interdental papilla and underlying bone defects through a unique suture method and the use of growth factors.

Introduction: Recognizing the necessity of novel disinfection strategies for improved bacterial control to ultimately favor tissue regeneration, this study developed and characterized antibiotics-laden silk fibroin methacrylated (SilkMA) scaffolds for regenerative endodontics.
Methods: SilkMA-based solutions (10% w/v) containing Clindamycin (CLI) or Tinidazole (TIN) (0 - control; 5, 10, or 15% w/w) or the combination of both drugs (BiMix CLI/TIN 10%) were electrospun and photocrosslinked. Morphology and composition were assessed using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.
