A 40-year-old male patient presented with diffuse radiolucent lesions on the upper maxilla at the apex of the incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. Surgical excision of the lesions was performed, and the biopsy specimens were submitted for histological analysis: the lesions of the first quadrant were found to be a squamous odontogenic tumor, a rare benign neoplasm of odontogenic origin. The purpose of this article is to describe the clinical, radiographic and histological aspects of odontogenic squamous tumor.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the Tpredictability of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners monitored by Dental Monitoring® (DM) and to assess if using the DM system can actually lead to better results and shorter treatment times. A secondary objective is to assess whether the DM system can be more effective in monitoring one type of malocclusion over another, namely: crowding, crossbite and diastema. A total of 55 patients treated consecutively with clear aligners were selected. All patients were asked to use the DM system with scheduled appointments at 7–8-week intervals. Our results show that photos and scans taken in the chair correspond accurately to the photos and scan taken by the patient using the DM system. Results also show that the different malocclusions did not show any difference in predictability when using the DM system. This study concluded that treatment time was indeed reduced in terms of total number of in-office appointments.

The purpose of this article is to compare the alginate impression with digital impression using the introral scanner Carestream 3600 and understand which is preferred by patients. 50 young orthodontic patients (25 boys and 25 girls) who had no previous experience of impressions were enrolled in the study. After the impressions the patients were subjected to a questionnaire for both types of impressions. They were asked about feelings of nausea and breathing issues related to whether a digital or alginate impression was taken. As for the feeling of nausea, 24 girls and 22 boys did not have this feeling with digital impressions; as regards breathing, 19 girls and 23 boys did not find respiratory problems with the intraoral scanner. At the end, patients were asked which method they preferred. About 75% both for girls and boys preferred the intraoral scanner. Therefore, the digital method was found to be the most comfortable for the patients.

Innovative “prescriptions”, to improve the treatment of the citizen in need of odontosto- matological care, are published daily on dental journals. These “prescriptions” are mostly indications from The Experts who have the aim of favouring citizens’ access to dental care in the dental facilities of the Servizio Sanitario Nazionale (SSN), which is constantly grap- pling with the long-standing and never solved problems of waiting lists and staff shortages. Beyond the goodness of the initiative, the arranged action plans always need the com- mitment of financial resources, nowadays not widely available. The question then arises as to how a project is feasible without the appropriate financial backing or, better yet, how economic resources can be found.

One of the most common complication associated with oral surgical procedures are iatrogenic injuries to lingual branch of trigeminal nerve. Lingual nerve damage may result in permanent lingual sensory deficit leading to symptoms, including lost or altered sensation and the development of unpleasant neuropathic pain, with consequent impaired quality of life. The surgical removal of mandibular third molars is one of the most common oral surgical procedures and it is associated with a number of perioperative complications, including nerve injuries. This paper show how to manage lingual nerve injuries.

Bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) can occur in patients affected by malignancy associated hypercalcemia, bone metastases of solid tumors or multiple myeloma intaking amino-bisphosphonates or other bone resorption inhibitors. BRONJ occurs initially with alveolar bone radiographic alterations, with peripheral facial neurological symptoms and thereafter with bone exposition and necrosis.Drug related ONJ were also reported in oncologic patients intaking angiogenesis inhibitors or monoclonal antibodies that inhibit bone resorption (e.g. Denosumab).In the present case report, Denosumab has been administered to treat bone lesions related to invasive ductal breast cancer.Before starting therapy with Denosumab, in order to restore oral and periodontal health, dental extractions were performed without any modifications to surgical protocols and waiting the complete healing of extraction sites (6 weeks).Even if ministerial recommendations were followed, even if we waited the biologic healing and even if denosumab therapy started without symptoms, BRONJ occurred in this patient.The mistake made in the management of the present case is that we did not carefully evaluated early radiological signs (alveolar crest thickening, bone sclerosis, persistent alveolar post-extraction socket, periodontal space widening, formation of bone sequestrum) that could bring the clinician to the diagnostic suspect of BRONJ before the onset of clinical signs (fistula, and bone exposure).Identifying early radiological signs could bring the clinician to an early diagnosis and consequently a better prognosis.

Objectives: over the years a device has been developed, the Magnetic Mallet, which allows a very high control and stability of the applied forces, able to perform procedures that were the safest possible for the patient and the surgeon himself. The handpiece has been designed so that different shock waves are emitted according to the type of surgery, with the possibility of inserting different inserts according to the technique / procedure that is being applied. The Magnetic Mallet can be used in different surgical procedures; Dental extractions, implant placement, implant site preparation (osseodensification), maxillary sinus lift procedures or crestal expansion procedures. Materials and methods: In the following clinical case, the extraction of element 2.7 is conducted with the simultaneous insertion of two implant fixtures in place 2.6 and 2.7 and simultaneous regenerative therapy. The implant in site 2.6 was positioned with a traditional method, with the help of the implant motor, while the post-extraction implant in site 2.7 was inserted with the use of the Magnetic Mallet. Results: At one week the sutures were removed and the tissues showed good healing. The patient is then placed in a maintenance and follow-up program to monitor healing after some time.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus impacted worldwide without any precedents, including the dental world, from the education to the advanced cares. The co-existence with the virus circulation imposed the use of personal protection equipment such as respiratory protective equipment. The aim of this paper is to report the modifications made to a Power Air Power Respirator to improve the quality of work during dental hygiene procedures. The device is composed of a hood and a power-air unit. The power-air unit is equipped with a strap to secure the filters and battery at the waist. The hood and the power-air unit presented visibility, weight, and use issues during dental hygiene procedures. The modifications to the hood made the shield more resistant and allowed the place for magnifying loupes. In addition, placing the battery-unit in a backpack, the weight was better distributed. Further innovations in PPE, barrier devices to minimize aerosol contamination, air purification systems, antiviral adjuvants, chairside screening for COVID-19, changes in clinical techniques could be envisaged to minimize the spread of COVID-19, possibly adapted, and adopted in future pandemics.
