Surface engineering is central to contemporary dental implant design because the first biological events after implantation occur at an engineered interface rather than on bulk titanium alone. Yet the clinical meaning of increasingly complex micro-, nano-, chemical and biofunctio...

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a benign reactive fibro-osseous gingival lesion with a recognised tendency to recur, particularly when local irritative factors persist or excision is incomplete. This case report describes the clinical, histopathological, and therapeutic man...

Root canal obturation has shifted from a predominantly mechanical philosophy centred on three-dimensional compaction of gutta-percha towards a material-dependent strategy in which the sealer may contribute substantially to the bulk, interface and biological behaviour of the filli...

Cone beam computed tomography has become widely available in periodontal practice, yet its role remains contested. Two-dimensional radiography systematically misrepresents the three-dimensional architecture of periodontal osseous destruction, and volumetric imaging offers an obvi...

Background: Complex odontomas are benign developmental odontogenic lesions composed of disorganised dental hard tissues. Although often asymptomatic, they may present with pain, swelling, or infection, or may interfere with normal tooth eruption. Immediate implant placement follo...

The mucosa covering the edentulous residual ridge transmits masticatory load through a terminal microvascular bed that was never differentiated for that purpose, and its tolerance depends on how completely perfusion is restored between loading cycles. Prosthodontic research has t...

Background: Physiological gingival melanin hyperpigmentation may be aesthetically concerning, particularly in patients with a prominent smile line. Although diode laser depigmentation offers controlled ablation and haemostasis, postoperative healing and recurrent pigmentation rem...

Apical periodontitis is among the most prevalent chronic inflammatory conditions of the dentition, and its recognition rests almost entirely on the interpretation of radiographic images. That dependence is uncomfortable, because projection radiography detects periapical bone chan...

Root canal anatomical variations can complicate endodontic treatment, particularly when additional canals remain undetected. The middle mesial canal (MMC), located between the mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals of mandibular molars, is clinically important because its omission m...
