Background: Complete maxillary edentulism can compromise mastication, speech, facial support, aesthetics, and quality of life. Implant-supported hybrid (fixed-detachable) prostheses combine fixed implant retention with replacement of lost dental and soft-tissue contours and clini...

Introduction: LDH is a cytoplasmic enzyme that appears extracellularly during cell necrosis and tissue damage. Increased LDH levels in saliva have been associated with oral diseases, including oral lichen planus (OLP) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Normally, LDH convert...

Aim: Rehabilitation of resorbed ridges is challenging because conventional complete dentures often exhibit compromised retention, stability, and support. Preservation of strategic natural teeth, combined with implant supported overdenture therapy, can improve proprioception, load...

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...
