Aim: The purpose of the current case-control study was to assess the possible relationships between the number of missing teeth and the risk of lung carcinoma in out-patients Greek individuals of three private practices. Materials and Methods: The study sample consisted of 155 cases diagnosed with various histological types of lung carcinoma and 450 age, gender and socio-economic status matched controls. Data on oral health and the number of missing teeth were obtained through dental examination and questionnaire including aspects of their medical and dental history. Odds ratios (OR’s) and 95% Confidence Intervals (95%CI’s) were assessed using a logistic regression model adjusted for possible confounders. Results: The multivariate regressionanalysis model application showed that smoking (p=0.000, OR= 3.192, 95%CI= 2.065-4.933), deepperiodontalpockets(p= 0.048, OR= 1.89,95%CI=1.221-2.927) and a number of missing teeth more than four (p=0.032, OR=1.67, 95% CI= 0.489-1.953 and p= 0.047, OR=1.884, 95%CI= 0.495-1.209) were statistically significantly associated with risk for LC development. Conclusion: Individuals with deep periodontal pockets and a number of missing teeth more than four were at significantly higher risk for lung carcinoma.

Objective: To find the best method of intubation in patients sustaining pan-facial trauma by comparing the pros and cons of each technique. Materials and methods: Three different types of intubation techniques (nasotracheal intubation, orotracheal intubation, and sub-mental intubation) were considered in this study. The study population involves 9 patients who have undergone treatment for pan-facial trauma under general anesthesia (3 patients per technique) and the variables of clinical outcome of each group were recorded. Results: Nasal intubation is the most common and safest method of intubation. However, it can’t be used in some types of pan-facial trauma. In cases like these, oral intubation is not preferred. As it severely compromises maxillofacial repair because of interference with the placement of intermaxillary fixation [3](IMF), which is used to establish the patient s occlusion in the intraoperative period. Submental intubation is an alternative with minimal risk to tracheostomy when orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation is not appropriate. The submental intubation technique gave an uninterrupted surgical field, unobstructed airway, ease of gaining occlusion in general anesthesia, less intraoperative and postoperative complications and it overcomes the disadvantages of both nasotracheal and orotracheal intubation. Conclusion: Preferred techniques of securing an airway are orotracheal, nasotracheal intubation. However these techniques may not always be applicable, thus a trauma surgeon-anesthetist team should always have alternative techniques in their armamentarium which secures the patient's airways without interfering with occlusion, to gain at most postoperative esthetic and functional results.

This article describes a case of a 65-year-old male patient who presented with a chief complaint of missing teeth avulsed for 2 years. He was asking for its replacement. The treatment plan included the implant-supported crown associated with the bone grafting technique. The abutment screw was fractured during its insertion in the final appointment. A conservative and non-invasive technique based on converting the healing abutment into prosthetic abutment was illustrated. A follow up after 9monthswasrecorded and satisfactory results were maintained. Thanks to a well-planned approach, the patient was satisfied.
