Effect of soft tissue volume on midfacial gingival margin alterations following immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone: a 1-year randomized clinical and volumetric trial.

Background: The current trial evaluated the midfacial gingival margin changes, volumetric, radiographic and clinical alterations 1-year following immediate implant placement with customized healing abutment (IIP + CHA) either solely, or in combination with xenograft (IIP + Bonegraft) or with connective tissue grafting (IIP + CTG) at sites with thin labial bone in the esthetic zone.

Methods: Thirty-nine non-restorable maxillary teeth indicated for extraction in the esthetic zone were included. Participants were randomly assigned into three equal group; IIP + Bonegraft (Control), IIP + CTG and IIP + CHA.

Evaluation of Vermillion Symmetry and Scar Quality in Unilateral Cleft Lip Repair Using Modified Millard's Technique Versus Fisher's Technique.

Background: Since the primary goal of cleft lip repair is to achieve a symmetrical, aesthetic lip, several surgical techniques have been utilized. Accordingly, in this study, a unilateral cleft lip was surgically repaired using two techniques: modified Millard's and Fisher's techniques.

Purpose: This study was designed to compare the vermillion symmetry and scar quality in the surgical management of patients with unilateral incomplete cleft lip using the modified Millard's and Fisher's techniques.

Jumping gap in immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone: A virtual implant planning using cone-beam computed tomography.

Purpose: A jumping gap (JG) refers to the implant's future buccal wall; this study aims to estimate the jumping gap dimension in relation to virtual implant placement and subsequently link the implant diameter and implant position with the anatomical site.

Methods: This observational study was conducted to analyze the maxillary teeth in the esthetic zone from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans using OnDemand software. The horizontal jumping gap dimension of each tooth was assessed by subtracting the calculated virtual implant diameter from the socket dimensions.

Novel Cold Cure Acrylic Denture Base with Recycled Zirconia Nano-Fillers That Were Functionalized by HEMA Agent Incorporation: Using the Sprinkle Approach.

Background: Though acrylic resins possess many useful properties, denture fracture is nevertheless a familiar issue.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of low-percent recycled Zirconia nanoparticles as filler on the transverse strength, impact strength, surface hardness, water sorption, and solubility of resin using the sprinkle cold-curing technique.

Materials And Methods: Various formulae were prepared and mixed with PMMA (polymer) powder containing varying percentages (0.

Odontogenic tumors: A Retrospective Study in Egyptian population using WHO 2017 classification.

Background: Odontogenic tumors (OTs) are considered important among oral lesions because of their clinicopathological heterogeneity and variable biological behavior. The purpose of this retrospective cross-sectional study was to evaluate the frequency and distribution of different types of odontogenic tumors based on the current 2017 WHO Classification of Head and Neck Tumors over a period of 5 years. This was achieved by reviewing the records of Cairo's educational hospitals and institutions and comparing the results with findings in the literature.

The effect of botulinum toxin A in patients with excessive gingival display with and without zinc supplementation: randomized clinical trial.

Objective: The objective is to determine the effect of oral zinc supplement intake on the clinical efficacy and sustained effect of BTXA injection, in patients with excessive gingival display (EGD).

Materials And Methods: Twenty-five participants with excessive gingival display (EGD) were included in this parallel-group RCT, treated with BTXA with and without Zinc supplementation prior to treatment. Participants were assessed for excessive gingival display reduction and results of stability at 2, 6, 12, 18, and 24 weeks.
