Pollen food syndrome (PFS) is an IgE-mediated food hypersensitivity reaction that typically results in immediate-onset oral and oropharyngeal symptoms in individuals who are sensitized to pollen. Symptoms are often mild, but systemic allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, occur rarely. Using a cases series of six patients who were referred to our oral medicine department and for whom a diagnosis of PFS was made, we illustrate the clinical features of PFS and discuss the possibility that oral mucosal lesions may be a feature. Patients with PFS (or indeed other food hypersensitivities) may present to dental professionals in the first instance, therefore, it is important to be able to recognize key signs/symptoms, to give advice and to investigate/refer appropriately. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Awareness of the clinical features of PFS, including oral mucosal lesions, is of value to dental clinicians

In the context of cementing indirect dental restorations, the inadvertent bonding of excess cement to adjacent teeth poses a multifaceted challenge, affecting aesthetics, periodontal health and chair time. Using PTFE tape as the sole method for isolation can be time consuming, and occasionally presents challenges. The approach described in this Technique Tip involves manually holding a matrix holder to safeguard neighbouring teeth from sandblasting and etching contamination, providing a pragmatic resolution to these issues. It seamlessly integrates with the established practice of using PTFE tapes to prevent unwanted bonding and cement attachment to adjacent teeth. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Combining PTFE and matrix bands optimises bonding of indirect ceramic restorations for periodontal health and efficiency.

There are many techniques that can, with simple adjustments, be used for patients with learning disabilities. A number of techniques may be familiar to dentists as those which are applied to anxious or paediatrics patients. There is a lack of focused articles clearly describing specific techniques that can be used for individuals with learning disabilities and how these can be adapted to help enable dental assessment and treatment. This article aims to inform general dental practitioners of patient-support techniques that may be used or adapted for individuals with learning disabilities. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Dental professionals should be able to make reasonable adjustments to their practice to better support individuals with learning disabilities who access dental care.

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is common in children and has numerous extra-oesophageal manifestations which dental practitioners should be aware of. This article illustrates the role of the dentist in recognizing the signs and symptoms of GORD in children. A risk-based management system is illustrated to guide clinicians in managing children exhibiting erosive tooth wear. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Dental implications of GORD in children and its management provide useful clinical information for dental practitioners.

Third molar removal complication rates can be as high as 30%. Risk assessment tools may lower these rates. Artificial intelligence (AI) driven prediction models are a promising approach to predict possible unfavourable outcomes and cone beam computed tomography imaging may play an important role. AI prediction models are showing excellent results in research settings. To be implemented in clinical practice they will need to overcome some robustness, security, liability, and practical issues. If they do, AI prediction models can be integrated in electronic patient record systems by alerting clinicians in case of an imminent unfavourable outcome so it can be avoided. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Artificial intelligence-driven risk assessment tools will lower complications in third molar surgery.

Treatment protocols for peri-implantitis include various decontamination procedures of the exposed implant surface, and their application is dependent on the stage of implant therapy, involving both non-surgical and surgical interventions, as appropriate. These implant surface decontamination procedures may be delivered using different approaches, such as mechanical/physical, chemical, photo/mechanical, adjuncts, or combinations thereof. In Part 1 of this two-part series, we reviewed the available evidence for the non-surgical and surgical management of peri-implantitis. In Part 2, we discuss different approaches for implant surface decontamination. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The pre-operative risk identification and management at both patient and site level, early diagnosis and regular supportive peri-implant care are fundamental for long term implant success and survival.
