OBJECTIVE: Graphene and derived materials are a new class of fundamental nanomaterials. Thanks to the unique characteristics as excellent electrical conductivity, biocompatibility and thermal properties, this material has aroused a considerable interest in the scientific community from its discovery. The purpose of this work is to pursue the various steps chronologically that led from discovery to single production and in series of graphene, focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of the techniques going to underline the validity and importance of each, on the basis of the searches to be carried out and the products finished to be obtained. In the second section of this work, however, we focused on the evolution of the applications of this super material over time. In fact, graphene and bidimensional materials in graphene have been significantly used in various areas of biomedical research such as fabric engineering, regenerative medicine, bioimaging with application in neural engineering and in the clinic, with different future perspectives still to be completed.

The rehabilitation of the posterior sites of the maxilla with dental implants is a therapeutic procedure often influenced by the atrophy of the maxillary bone, caused by either the loss of dental elements or by the maxillary sinus pneumatization. Bone loss in the upper maxillae which prevents the placement of implant fixture, may be fixed with surgical bone regenerations techniques, such as the sinus lift, or with the placement of zygomatic and/or pterygoid implants. Although the proved effectiveness of these invasive therapeutic approaches, the biological and economic costs may be high. Also, the failure of these procedure, may further prevent the possibility of a second implant rehabilitation. In this scenario, the use of the short and ultra-short implants may be considered a valid minimally invasive alternative for the rehabilitation of the atrophic edentulous crests. Here, we describe a case of a female patient presenting with atrophic posterior maxilla which was rehabilitated with an implant of 3 millimeters in length after the failure of a previous surgical maxillary sinus lift through lateral window approach and with a total follow-up of 36 months.

The ageing process of the face involves a level of bone erosion that generates a morphological change in the main features of a person’s face. Consequently, the muscular structures of facial expression also undergo changes in their functionality. Another important factor that can shift bone ageing in one district over the other is altered mimicry due to altered skeletal growth. The study carried out that led to the standardisation of this technique involves the restoration of the bone gap due to physiological bone ageing and bone compensation in those cases where there is an alteration of normal maxillary and mandibular development and growth. The technique involves supraperiosteal bolus infiltrations of 2-phase hyaluronic acid-based gels with very high cohesiveness for maximum volumetric compensation with a small quantity of product. This functional treatment aims to achieve a dynamic and functional modification of each patient’s subjective physiological muscle contraction. The study was substantiated by a team of specialists who highlighted the changes by means of electromyographic and ultrasound examination and photography. Key words: miofacial function, miofacial treatment, Skeletal anterior open bite, Orofacial myofunctional status, Orofacial myofunctional therapy, Filler, Anthropometry; Facial beauty; Facial measurements; Quantitative analysis.

Fifty percent of the adult population suffers from periodontal disease. Patients with Stage IV periodontal disease have altered physiological dental relationships such as masticatory dysfunction, secondary occlusal trauma, increased tooth mobility, bite collapse, tooth migration and flaring. Occlusal forces can alter and adversely affect the outcome of periodontal therapy, thus orthodontic treatment can be considered to re-store occlusal harmony as well as improve smile aesthetics. The objectives of this article were 1) to underline the possible factors involved in the relationship between systemic conditions and periodontal disease during orthodontic treatment in patients with periodontal issues; 2) to propose an Orthodontic-Periodontal Risk Assessment model (OPRA) to account for risk factors associated with orthodontic treatment, estimating their impact on periodontal health in susceptible patients.

The aim of the present narrative review was to summarize the main indications of antibiotic prophylaxis in dentistry. A search was performed via the search engines Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science. All types of articles were included in the study except for those found in the various search engines and publications not related to the topic addressed, which were excluded. With the limitations of this study, antibiotic prophylaxis could play a decisive role in avoiding post-operative infections, especially in more invasive surgeries and in compromised patients. Further clinical studies could be useful to further investigate the role of antibiotic prophylaxis according to individual systemic diseases.
目前的叙述回顾的目的是总结抗生素预防在牙科的主要指征。通过Pubmed, Scopus和Web of Science搜索引擎进行了搜索。所有类型的文章都包括在研究中，但在各种搜索引擎和出版物中发现的与所讨论的主题无关的文章被排除在外。由于本研究的局限性，抗生素预防可以在避免术后感染方面发挥决定性作用，特别是在侵入性手术和受损患者中。进一步的临床研究将有助于根据个体全身性疾病进一步探讨抗生素预防的作用。

There are many recognized dental anomalies, among the least common being the “triple tooth”, with a prevalence of 0.02% in the primary dentition. However, such malformation can more easily lead not only to carious pathology, due to dental dysmorphisms, and pulpal lesions, but also to rhizalysis and agenesis of the permanent elements, causing eruption alterations and malocclusions. Therefore, techniques such as CBCT and 3D anatomical replicas have been proposed to be able to study complex clinical situations such as the triple tooth in its entirety, in order to analyze anatomical structures and identify the best treatment plan. In this paper we propose a clinical case of a triple tooth in a 6-year-old child in the left mandible with fusion of incisor with a supernumerary tooth associated with the lateral incisor fusion.

In the last few years, the interest of dentists in aesthetic treatments has grown considerably. For this reason, many European Union Country (E.U. Countries) have regulated the competences of dentists in the field of aesthetic medicine. One of the most common therapies in this field is represented by the injection of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A). This study has analyzed the regulatory measures on the BTX-A administration adopted by all the E.U. member States. The search found the presence of a very varied regulatory framework and the need for convergence measures between legislations. In fact, the harmonization of dental competences is one of the pillars of the freedom to provide services under Directive 2005/36/EC. The prevision of common competences is functional not only to allow the professionals movement among the E.U. Member States, but also to guarantee the health of patients and avoid market distortions.

This paper aims at illustrating the different diagnostic methods and compare the reliability of the Digital Imaging Fiber Optic Transillumination (DIAGNOcamTM, KaVo Kerr, Brea, California, US) with the use of intraoral radiographs. Since the discovery of radiography, various methods have been introduced in order to provide early diagnosis of caries. In this review, specific keywords have been chosen on different search engines and medical databases. Scientific pa-pers published from 1990 to 2022 were included. Nine articles comparing two different methods for early detection of carious lesions were selected. An analysis of the existing literature seems to support the hypothesis that making diagnosis by using the Digital Imaging Fiber Optic Transillumination systems represents a safe and effective support for early diagnosis of interproximal carious lesions within enamel. However, it is still to be considered a complementary method to traditional bitewing and periapical radiographs.
