PURPOSE Direct intraoral scanning and superimposing methods have recently been applied to measure the dimensions of periodontal tissues. The aim this study was analyze various correlations between labial gingival thickness underlying alveolar bone thickness, as well clinical parameters among 3 tooth types (central incisors, lateral canines) using a digital method. METHODS In 20 periodontally he...

background facial wrinkles develop over the natural aging process. the demand to treat these wrinkles is increasing. several treatment options are available. objectives we aimed to investigate the effect of fat injection and its combination with platelet-rich plasma (prp) on facial wrinkles. patients and methods we recruited 28 patients who were candidates for the treatment of facial wrinkles i...

Recently, a number of clinical and animal studies have been published suggesting the advantages of using immediate post-extraction implants under a flapless protocol, followed by the simultaneous placement of an implant-supported provisional restoration (Trimodal Approach [TA]). Indications and risk of complications of this therapeutic option have also been thoroughly discussed in the literatur...

The success of flapless immediate implant placement is dependent on the bony architecture on the buccal aspect of the socket. The presence of a fenestration defect in the buccal cortical plate may jeopardize the esthetic outcome, especially if the clinician does not undertake adequate soft and hard tissue augmentation procedures. This article describes the use of an esthetic buccal flap design ...
