Abstract: Iatrogenic root perforations in anterior teeth pose significant clinical challenges due to esthetic demands and concerns regarding long-term prognosis, particularly in young patients. This case report describes the management of a mid-root mesial perforation in a 16-year-old female with a fractured maxillary central incisor (21). The defect was sealed with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) under rubber dam isolation, followed by root canal obturation and esthetic rehabilitation with a zirconia crown. At 6-month follow-up, the tooth was asymptomatic......

Abstract: Background: Ankyloglossia, or tongue-tie, is a congenital anomaly characterized by an abnormally short lingual frenulum that restricts tongue mobility. Various surgical techniques have been described for its management, with diode laser-assisted frenectomy considered a reliable and minimally invasive approach. However, recurrence of tongue-tie following surgical release is uncommon and seldom reported in adults. Case Report: This report presents......

Abstract: External cervical resorption (ECR) is a progressive loss of dental hard tissues often linked to trauma, orthodontic treatment, or inflammation. Early diagnosis and prompt management are critical for tooth preservation. This report presents two cases of ECR treated with root canal therapy, surgical debridement under a dental operating microscope, and restoration with Biodentine™. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) was used to promote healing, and in one case, adjunctive photodynamic.....

Abstract: The weight of maxillary complete dentures can significantly affect retention and patient comfort, especially in cases of severe ridge resorption. Hollow dentures offer a practical solution by reducing weight while maintaining function. Various techniques have been proposed, including the use of putty materials; however, their removal can be challenging, often leaving....

Abstract: Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a common condition caused by exposed dentinal tubules and fluid shifts leading to sharp dental pain. Current desensitizing treatments provide only temporary relief. Eggshell powder (ESP), rich in calcium and phosphate, has recently been explored as a natural, cost-effective alternative. This systematic review/meta-analysis evaluated the effects of eggshell-based formulations on DH and remineralization. Data were synthesized....

Abstract: Background: Excessive gingival display, commonly known as a “gummy smile,” is a significant esthetic concern that can have psychosocial implications, particularly among young women. The etiology may involve altered passive eruption, vertical maxillary excess, a short upper lip, or hypermobility of the upper lip. Various treatment modalities—ranging from botulinum toxin injections and esthetic crown lengthening to orthognathic surgery—have been employed, each with its own advantages and limitations. Lip repositioning surgery has recently emerged.....

Abstract: Background: Alveolar bone defects following cyst enucleation in the maxillary anterior region pose a significant challenge for implant rehabilitation due to compromised buccal bone and aesthetic concerns. Autogenous mandibular symphyseal grafts when combined with particulate allograft provides structural support and osteogenic potential for predictable implant outcomes. This case report demonstrates a one-stage approach of implant placement.....

Abstract: Background: Sepsis remains the leading cause of neonatal mortality. While blood culture has long been considered the gold standard for diagnosis, the lengthy assay time of at least 24-48 hours necessitates the need for more reliable, rapid, sensitive, and specific biomarkers to enable early detection of neonatal sepsis. Aim: this case-control study was conducted to evaluate three potential diagnostic markers for neonatal sepsis: serum procalcitonin, C-reactive.....
