Root resection is performed to create a maintainable furcation area in teeth with advanced periodontitis. However, the long-term feasibility of this treatment remains controversial. We present a case in which distal root resection in a maxillary molar successfully preserved the form and function of the dentition for approximately 14 years.

Background: Extensive surgical resection of the thoracic aorta in patients with type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is thought to reduce the risk of late aortic wall degeneration and the need for repeat aortic operations.
Objectives: We evaluated the early and late outcomes after aortic root replacement and supracoronary ascending aortic replacement in patients with TAAD involving the aortic root.
Design: Retrospective, multicenter cohort study.

Background: Mandibular angle osteotomy (MAO) is a popular procedure to improve facial aesthetics, however, over-resection of the mandibular angle can lead to both functional and aesthetic challenges. Precision is essential in restoring these over-resected mandibles to achieve balanced outcomes. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implants offer biocompatibility, durability, and customization potential, making them valuable for achieving precise and predictable results.
