Impaction of the mandibular second premolars is relatively rare and may offer general dentists and orthodontists special challenges during treatment. The authors discuss two cases involving impacted mandibular second premolars that had migrated before eruption. Surgical and orthodontic therapies were used to bring the teeth into occlusion. The authors emphasize early diagnosis and a collaborative approach between the dental professionals involved in treating these affected patients.

Objective: Both the Masquelet technique (MT) and concentrated growth factors (CGF) reduce early graft loss and improve bone regeneration. This study aims to explore the efficacy of combining MT with CGF for mandibular defect repair by characterizing the induced membrane and assessing in vivo osteogenesis.
Materials And Methods: Three experimental groups were compared: negative control (NC), MT, and Masquelet combined with CGF (MTC).

To observe the stability of vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) and mandibular position in full-mouth occlusal reconstruction subjects by means of digital occlusal analysis. Six subjects who had completed full-mouth occlusal reconstruction by intraoral functional generated path technique for more than three years in the Department of Prosthodontics, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology were enrolled for follow-up observation, all six patients were male, with an age of (53.6±8.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the trabecular microarchitecture in the interdental region of panoramic radiographs from periodontally healthy individuals and those with stage III/IV periodontitis using fractal analysis (FA), while also assessing the relationship between clinical periodontal parameters and FA outcomes.
Study Design: Clinical and radiographic records of 20 periodontally healthy individuals and 19 individuals with stage III/IV periodontitis were included. Clinical measurements including the plaque score, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth, and clinical attachment level were recorded.
