The surgery-first approach (SFA) is gaining popularity in orthognathic surgery because it makes treatment duration shorter and more satisfying for patients. However, its effectiveness in complex cases isn't fully understood. Here, we describe a rare case where SFA was used to fix problems caused by missing posterior teeth and a deep bite, which made traditional pre-surgery orthodontic treatment impractical.

Objectives: This qualitative study aimed to develop an understanding of patients' barriers and facilitators of conversations about dentine hypersensitivity (DH) with their dentist.
Methods: The Theoretical Domains Framework shaped the topic guide for 26 participants who were troubled (High H) or not particularly troubled (Low L) by DH. Inductive thematic analysis of anonymised, transcribed, online focus group conversations was undertaken to identify reasons for non-discussion of DH during dental consultations.

Article Synopsis
- This report discusses the replacement of fixed implant-supported prostheses (FIP) with implant overdentures (IOD) in an older Parkinson's disease patient to enhance oral hygiene and manage mucosal health.
- The patient struggled with various health issues, including hospitalization for cholecystitis and aspiration pneumonia, which complicated ongoing dental care and maintenance of the IOD.
- Despite efforts to manage the patient's condition and provide regular oral cleaning, complications like mucosal ulcers and peri-implantitis persisted, ultimately leading to inadequate care and hospital readmission.
