Background: Over the past two decades immediate implant placement (IIP) has gained attention for reducing edentulism periods and treatment time. However, IIP cannot correct changes in soft and hard tissues changes after tooth extraction, and restorative esthetics can be compromis...
Loss of teeth in the posterior mandible leads to progressive alveolar bone resorption, superficial location of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN), thereby diminishing the amount of hard and soft tissue available for implant placement. This biological process is compounded by the p...
The most prevalent giant cell lesion in the mouth is called a peripheral giant cell granuloma, also referred to as "giant cell epulis." Typically, it manifests as a soft tissue purplish-red nodule with extravasated red blood cells and mononuclear stromal cells surrounding the mul...
Context: Failure to locate and treat all root canals is a major cause of endodontic treatment failure. Various diagnostic methods are used to locate second mesiobuccal canal (MB2) canals, including direct visual inspection, loupe magnification, operative microscope, and cone-beam...
