Introduction : In edentulous maxillae, bone quantity and quality are crucial factors for implant treatment planning and success. This study aimed to assess variations in trabecular bone density (TBD) and bone height in different regions of the edentulous maxilla, according to sex and age.
Materials and methods : 100 cone beam computed tomography (C...
Background: Treatments for oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) often result in significant aesthetic and functional issues, impacting patients’ quality of life (QoL). The COVID-19 pandemic’s mask mandates may have provided psychosocial benefits by concealing facial disfigurements, potentially reducing stigma. This study aimed to assess the impact...
Background
Gaze behavior can serve as an objective tool in undergraduate pre-clinical dental education, helping to identify key areas of interest and common pitfalls in the routine evaluation of tooth preparations. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the gaze behavior of undergraduate dental students and dental educators while evaluating a s...
Purpose
The rise of stereolithographic surgical guides and digital workflow, combined with a better knowledge of materials and loading principle, has enabled the placement of the temporary prosthesis at the time of implant placement. This scoping review aimed to assess the current knowledge available on stackable guides.
Methods
The review focused...
In the maxillary anterior area, the esthetic integration of prosthetic restorations is a challenge, particularly for screw-retained implant prostheses. This case report presents the management and clinical outcome of an old partial edentulous maxillary jaw in an esthetic zone in a young patient with a very limited mouth opening. This patient was re...
Providing fixed implant-supported prostheses for edentulous patients with microstomia or limited mouth opening is challenging. The clinical treatment of a patient who was a multiple amputee with microstomia and a complete loss of lips elasticity is described. A custom half-sectioned prosthesis was fabricated to resolve numerous difficulties. A scre...
Objective
The mandible has various unnamed accessory foramina, and surgery is often performed in the symphyseal area. The aim of this study was to analyze the anatomical characteristics of mandibular lingual foramina with the objective of preventing clinical complications during implant surgery on an edentulous mandible.

Background:
Head and neck cancer and its treatment cause significant functional, aesthetic, and social disabilities. These disabilities have a major impact on the quality of life of patients. When irradiation is required, removable dental prostheses are often the treatment of choice. This study investigated whether removable prosthetic rehabilitat...
Background
Nanoarchaeota, obligate symbiont of some environmental archaea with reduced genomes, have been described in marine thermal vent environments, yet never detected in hosts, including humans.
Methods
Here, using laboratory tools geared towards the detection of nanoarchaea including PCR-sequencing, WGS, microscopy and culture.
Results
We d...
Background:
Oral quality of life is of great importance in head and neck cancer, where each patient combines functional, social and esthetic needs. Our study aimed to evaluate the influence of prosthetic and/or maxillofacial rehabilitation on patients' perceived oral quality of life.
Material and methods:
The General Oral Health Assessment Index...
