Gingival recession is a mucogingival deformity characterised by apical migration of the gingival margin, which may result in root exposure, dentinal hypersensitivity and aesthetic concern. Minimally invasive periodontal plastic surgical approaches aim to obtain root coverage whil...

Background: Management of complicated crown fractures involving multiple mobile coronal fragments is clinically challenging, particularly when conventional fragment reattachment is not feasible. Removing residual fractured segments may further compromise an already weakened tooth...

Chondrolipoma is an extremely rare benign mesenchymal tumour characterised by mature adipose tissue with cartilaginous metaplasia. It is uncommon in the oral cavity, and when it occurs intraorally, the tongue is among the most frequently reported sites. This case report describes...

Background: Complicated crown–root fractures of anterior teeth present a clinical challenge when the fracture line extends subgingivally because access, isolation, biological width maintenance, and definitive restoration become difficult. A coordinated periodontal, endodontic, an...

Background: Apexification in immature permanent teeth with open apices requires controlled placement of apical barrier materials to limit overextension and support an apical seal. Internal matrices may assist this procedure; however, their indications and material-selection crite...
