Background: Surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars is a common procedure in oral and maxillofacial surgical practice with undesirable consequences such as pain and swelling that have a major concern for most patients. This study aimed to investigate the impact of age and gender on postoperative intensity of pain and swelling experienced by patients following mandibular third molar surgery (M3MS). Material and Methods: The study involved 46 patients underwent surgical extraction of mandibular third molar under local anesthesia. The visual analogue scale measured pain and swelling for seven consecutive days after surgery. Results: After M3MS, patients experienced the most pain severity in the day of surgery, while facial swelling reaching a maximum in the first postoperative day. It was found that the influence of age and gender on the intensity of pain and degree of swelling was insignificant. Conclusion: Pain and swelling after M3MS peaked on the day of surgery and the day after respectively with mild to moderate intensity, it subsided gradually to minimal levels on day 7. Short-term outcomes of M3MS with respect to degrees of pain and swelling were found to be similar, and it seems to be independent of both’ age and gender.

Background: Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSA) is a syndrome of total or partial obstruction of the airways, leading to significant disturbances with varying clinical impact. In children, the main cause is thought to be overgrowth (hypertrophy) of the tonsils and adenoids, as well as structural abnormalities in Pierre Robin and Down Syndrome. The airway structures are significantly narrowed in children with head-face bone abnormalities or craniofacial anomalies, causing them to experience airway obstruction even in the absence of adenoid hypertrophy. The incidence of OSA in children needs to be observed as well as rising risk factors such as obesity. Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is typically treated with an adenotonsillectomy and the use of orthodontic procedures including rapid maxillary expansion and mandibular advancement devices. Each approach has different treatment advantages. Systematic reviews and meta-analysis of OSA treatments have been reported, however there have been relatively few comparisons of various treatments. In a systematic review of the evidence for the efficacy of AT and orthodontic treatment, Templier et al. concluded that combined AT orthodontic treatment (RME and/or MAD) was more effective than either therapy alone for treating OSA in pediatric patients. Objective: To systemically analyze the literature on the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment with adenotonsillectomy surgery in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and to identify differences in the two treatments’ effectiveness. Conclusion and implications: The effectiveness of adenotonsillectomy, orthodontic treatment, and orthodontic treatment combined with adenotonsillectomy was assessed in children with mild OSA and mandibular retrognathia. That study, which needed a large sample size (352 children) and had a high dropout rate, revealed that combine orthodontic adenotonsillectomy (RME and/or MAD treatment) was more effective when given simultaneously than when given individually for treating OSA in pediatric patients. To date, the effectiveness of these two treatments cannot currently be compared due to a lack of strong evidence. If the treatment outcomes were unsatisfactory at 7 months after the initial treatment, subjects could receive further treatment following assessment by a stomatologist and ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. Limitations: Of the 10 publications included in this review, 8 were randomized controlled trials, the remaining 2 non-randomized research journals were vulnerable to many biases that impair the certainty of the evidence gained, especially by confounding factors and the lack of control groups.

Background: One of the causes of malocclusion in developing children is the practice of mouth breathing. Morphological disturbances may occur during the growth phase in children with chronic mouth breathing. This resulting in the unfavorable development of dentofacial and craniofacial complexes. Mouth breathing in children as a condition has come to the attention of health care professionals. Malocclusion incidence will be decreased and eventually eliminated with the early identification and treatment of these poor oral habits. Purpose: The study determines the benefits of interceptive orthodontics Rapid Maxillary Expansion treatment in children with malocclusion caused by the habit of mouth breathing. Methods: Data were gathered by searching and analyzing literature from electronic databases PubMed, Wiley, and Science Direct in the 2012 and 2022 publication period. Interceptive orthodontics; rapid maxillary expansion; mouth breathing; malocclusion and children keywords were used to conduct the systematic search of the data. Results: One of the most frequent malocclusions is caused by the practice of mouth breathing which narrows the maxillary arch. Some of the characteristic features are decreased distance between nasal cavity’s lateral walls, bilateral or unilateral posterior crossbite, crowding of the anterior teeth, and deep palate.

Considering the significant role of implants in contemporary dentistry, practitioners must be able to acknowledge and anticipate the clinical signs and the appropriate treatment measures of peri-implant disease. The article aims to provide an overview of peri-implantitis, outlining its prevalence, etiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and management for the general practitioner. Peri-implantitis is a pathological condition usually associated with plaque. It exhibits inflammation around the peri-implant mucosa and subsequent progressive bone loss. While some patients show clinical signs, most implants exhibiting peri-implant disease are asymptomatic. As a result, clinicians must first develop an accurate diagnosis based on clinical and radiographic findings. The diagnosis of peri-implantitis usually done if the following criteria are met: 1) presence of bleeding, 2) progressive bone loss, and 3) increased probing depths. It is widely accepted that peri-implantitis is difficult to manage and prevention is the best form of treatment. Early diagnosis and management are essential to the successful clinical outcomes in the treatment of peri-implantitis. While non-surgical treatment may not always be effective but should always come first in patients with advanced peri-implantitis. Good oral hygiene, the location of the damaged implant, and the configuration of the bone defect, appear to be the key factors that influence the clinical predictability surgical interventions.

Since their introduction in the 1960s, titanium implants have dominated the field of dental implants. As a result, titanium implant systems are largely the foundation for the goods and solutions, scientific and clinical research, as well as the development and effectiveness of this treatment.The subject of when and why to substitute titanium implants with ceramics is evident for practitioners thinking about adding ceramic implants to their portfolios. Of course, every situation and patient are different, but there are a few things to take into account if ceramic and Titanium implants are an option based on the signs.The patient's resistance to having metallic medical devices inside their body, which might manifest as mucosal recession and the visibility of gray Titanium is one of the problems with titanium implants. The emotional feel of a more 'natural' alternative may be of preference.From a clinical perspective, recent developments in zirconia solutions now mean that the restorative flexibility of a two-piece, cemented, and/or screw-retained options are available, along with proven osseointegration and soft tissue adhesion, [1] generally lower plaque accumulation, [2] and less bacterial adhesion than titanium implants [3]. Titanium implants are narrower at the implant-abutment transition; however, ceramic implants should be wider, and which is what SDS has done since the wide tulip stabilizes the gingiva allowing it to attach. To preserve soft tissue and pink esthetics, Ceramic implants should be placed tissue-level. This will also prevent the disturbance of the valuable bond between implant and the tissue.In various range of cases, Ceramic implants are used as the substitute of the titanium implants as they are given esthetic white appearance and are 100% metal-free.

Objective: Ligneous gingivitis (LG) is an uncommon disease caused by plasminogen deficiency with fibrin deposition, which affects principally the conjunctiva of the eyes. A systemic review of reported cases and case series was undertaken to evaluate this disease. Methods: Searches of detailed databases were performed. The variables were demographics, treatment, follow-up, location, histopathological findings, symptoms and plasminogen test results. Results: 49 cases were identified; LG was most frequently seen in white females (68.4%). The average age was 20.0 years, for males 17.1 years and for females was 20.9 years. The main symptom was pain with (40.8%), followed by painless presentation with (20.4%). The most common sign was bleeding (32.3%). Clinically, both upper and lower gingiva where most commonly evident in 49% of the cases, followed by the lower gingiva only with (18.4%). The mean size was 2.7cm. The presence of concurrent ligneous conjunctivitis was (69.4%). The average for plasminogen activity test was 24.7mg/mL. The recurrence was 59.2% and the mean follow-up was 18.9 months. Conclusion: The diagnosis was difficult to establish, there is not standard treatment, and recurrence is common. For the oral clinician this disease needs to be addressed in the differential diagnosis of gingival oral lesions.

Tooth loss, especially in the anterior region, generates a loss of local bone structure affecting the aesthetics and function for the patient and a viable tactic is the use of deproteinized bovine bone block graft. This reconstructive method allows the possibility of partial or total reconstruction of the maxilla and mandible in a safe and predictable way, where it seeks the maintenance of the three-dimensional structure, viability of bone neoformation and favoring implant-supported rehabilitation. This case report aims to reveal and support the longitudinal follow-up of 5 years of a horizontal alveolar reconstruction in the anterior maxillary region with heterogeneous bone block and subsequent implantation and rehabilitation with metal-ceramic crown.

The current pandemic for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has caused great concern around the world, as it is capable of causing severe lung disease, and even death, in many patients. The people who develop more severe complications when infected by this disease are people with comorbidities such as Diabetes Mellitus (D.M.).The current medication used to manage the symptoms of COVID-19 includes systemic glucocorticoids, which suppress the immune system. Moreover, poorly controlled D.M. also predisposes to the development of infections by opportunistic germs.That is why people with COVID-19 and D.M. are more prone to develop opportunistic infections than others. In this case, a clinical case is reported about a diabetic patient diagnosed with COVID-19 who received corticosteroids in the treatment, later developing mucormycosis of the maxilla.
