Bone in Periodontal Health and Diseases: A Scoping Review
Abstract: Bone resorption is a basic physiologic process and central to the understanding of many key pathologies. Alveolar bone destruction is a hallmark of periodontal disease progression and its prevention is a key clinical challenge in treatment of periodontal disease. Bone loss is mediated by the host immune and inflammatory response to the microbial challenge. As individuals are not equally susceptible to the destructive effects of periodontal infections therefore, it is …

REPEATED MOPs VS DUAL APPROACH IN ACCELERATED ORTHODONTICS
Abstract: In contemporary orthodontics, there is a pressing need to minimize treatment duration, which is often a concern for both orthodontic specialists and patients. Prolonged treatment periods not only pose logistical challenges but also increase the risks of various dental issues such as cavities, periodontal problems, chronic discomfort, and root resorption. Accelerated orthodontics has emerged as a promising solution to address these challenges. Numerous efforts have been undertaken to expedite orthodontic …

Socket Preservation: Review
Abstract: The removal of a tooth results in remodeling and absorption not only within the socket but also in the surrounding alveolar bone. Alterations in the bone ridge following extraction are unavoidable, influenced by the initial size of the socket, with wider sockets requiring more time to heal completely. Both the height and width of the bone undergo dimensional changes subsequent to tooth extraction.The volumetric bone reduction changes occur after tooth …

Ramus Condyle Unit Reconstruction Using L-Shaped Ramus Osteotomy in Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis
Abstract: Aim and Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of the L-shaped osteotomy in reconstructing the Ramus Condyle Unit (RCU) after gap arthroplasty in patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of the above procedure by evaluating the increase in mouth opening, by assessing the resorption of the newly reconstructed RCU, by assessing any occlusal disturbances, deviation upon mouth opening and obstructive sleep apnoea, caused by decrease in …
