Aim: The canine is the tooth that, together with the third molar, presents the highest risk of inclusion: 85% of these teeth are located in the palate and 15% in the buccal area. In most treatment plans, retained canines are driven to extrusion through orthodontic treatment. However, in some cases, for technical reasons or patient choice, it is not possible to perform this consolidated approach. The present clinical report evaluates 10 ectopic canines transplanted in both adults and younger patients with up to 60 months of follow-up.
Case Description: Two clinical cases are described in detail with accompanying photographs and radiographs. In both of these cases, the retained canine was extracted, the receiving site prepared, a proper socket adapted through the use of implant osteotomy burs, and the canine transplanted into its ideal position. The tooth was fixed to the adjacent teeth for a variable period and healing was uneventful. After 60 months (Case 1) and 24 months (Case 2) of follow-up, the teeth did not show any color variation, the vitality tests were positive, and no signs of periapical reactions were detected.
Practical Implications: The transplantation of included canines, even with a formed apex, seems to be a successful procedure, although it should be reserved for those cases where an orthodontic approach is not viable. This procedure is able to provide a natural tooth with proprioceptive function, capable of accompanying the natural growth of the patient's jaws, with consequent eruption together with the adjacent teeth.

Effect of Dilution Media and Incubation Time on Motility, Kinetic and Morphometric Parameters of Canine Spermatozoa Using CASA System.

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of two dilution media and five incubation times at 37°C on the kinetic and morphometric parameters of canine spermatozoa (spz) using computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA). To do so, 14 ejaculates were collected from six dogs, and initially assessed (microscopy for motility and photometer for concentration). Each ejaculate was divided into two aliquots and diluted in two different solutions (PBS 'phosphate-buffered saline' and a commercial buffer solution 'EBB: Easy Buffer B') at a concentration of 25 million spz/mL then incubated at 37°C for five different times (T0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 min after collection) before being analysed by Hamilton-Thorne IVOS II CASA system.

Background: Primary retention and progressive loss of retention of various attachment systems are critical elements in appropriate attachment selection; nevertheless, research on attachment retention reveals a broad spectrum of retention values for the same attachment system and between various systems. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to compare the retention of two different types of attachments (Ti Si snaps and locators) in two-implant-retained mandibular overdentures.
Methods: A completely edentulous mandibular educational cast was scanned.

The objective of this study was to describe the incidence, breed distribution, clinical findings (anatomic location, number of testicles affected, and side), and surgical management of cryptorchidism in dogs and cats presented for elective gonadectomy. Medical record abstracts from a non-profit, high-volume, high-quality, spay-neuter clinic from 2018 to 2023 were reviewed retrospectively for cases of elective surgical gonadectomy of cryptorchid dogs and cats. During the study period, 5,476 dogs and 11,559 cats were presented to the same facility for elective surgical castration, suggesting a cryptorchid incidence of 3.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine and compare the strain distribution around long and short implant mandibular overdentures retained either by ball or self-aligning stud (Positioner) attachments.
Material And Methods: Two completely edentulous mandibular models made of epoxy resin were used with implants placed equidistantly in the canine region. In the first model, two long implants were inserted, while two short implants were inserted in the second model.
Aim: The canine is the tooth that, together with the third molar, presents the highest risk of inclusion: 85% of these teeth are located in the palate and 15% in the buccal area. In most treatment plans, retained canines are driven to extrusion through orthodontic treatment.
