A Case Report of Multifocal Epithelial Hyperplasia (Heck's Disease) Treated with CO2 Laser
Focal epithelial hyperplasia or Heck’s disease is a rare benign lesion of oral mucosa caused by human papilloma virus especially subtypes 13 and 32. The disease is predominantly found in children and adolescents with indigenous heritage. This paper reports a unique case of Heck's disease in an 11-year-old Iranian girl with multiple, bilateral and elevated lesions on the buccal and labial mucosa. The lesions had persisted for a year. The disease was diagnosed as focal epithelial hyperplasia through the clinical examination. Considering esthetic and functional problems, CO2 laser (Wavelength: 10600 nm) surgery was dete...

Prevalence of Impacted Teeth among Young Adults: A Retrospective Radiographic Study
Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study, the third molar was the most common impacted tooth observed in the people living in the central region of Iran, followed by canine and second premolar impaction. The prevalence of the third molar impaction in the females was nearly twice as much as that in the males. (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)

Effect of Tannic Acid Application on Durability of Bond of Etch and Rinse Adhesive Resins
Conclusion: Use of tannic acid and chlorhexidine has no negative effect on immediate shear bond strength. However, their application significantly prevents compromised bond strength caused by storage in collagenase solution.   (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)

Assessment of the Effect of Fruit (Apple) and Plain Yoghurt Consumption on Plaque pH
Conclusion: Both kinds of yoghurts were considered cariogenic since plaque pH drop below critical points. Average of plaque pH after consuming fruit yoghurt was significantly lower in almost all the time intervals (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)

A New Hybrid Technique for Beading and Boxing of Complete Denture Final Impressions
Conclusion: Beading and boxing of an impression is done to protect the formed border thickness of an impression, regulate the height& size of the cast, avoid undue trimming of the cast and to eliminate distortion associated with slumping of the gypsum material when an impression is inverted. This hybrid technique of beading and boxing eliminates the need for applying separating media over the beading of a plaster-pumice mixture and by this technique retrieval of the cast from the impression is very easy and quick. The resulted cast will be very neat and clean with accurate thickness of the borders and base of the cast ...

Effect of Storage Media and Sterilization Method on Shear Bond Strength of Composite to Enamel ...
Conclusion: Storage of teeth in chloramine T and thymol had no significant effect on bond strength to enamel. Although autoclaving of specimens may not alter bond strength, it can significantly increase the cohesive failure of enamel.   (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)

Autotransplantation of a mandibular third molar: A case report
Tooth autotransplantation defines as transition of one tooth from one position to another, in same individual. It is a biological procedure in which teeth have the potential to induce alveolar bone growth. It can be applied in patients before adolescence growth is finished. It significantly reduces time and cost compared to implants. Healing rapidly occurs and function is regained almost immediately. Our case was a 15-year-old male that his left mandibular third molar transplanted to the second molar sight after extraction of second molar because of unrestorable crown. During 9 month follow up transplanted tooth was asympt...

Wegener Granulomatosis with Oral Involvement as Primary Manifestation: A Case Study
Discussion: Up to now, few reports have been published on Wegener disease with oral involvement and in most of these articles, Wegener was diagnosed after respiratory symptoms and kidney or other organs involvement. Only in few studies was Wegener diagnosis confirmed on the basis of oral symptoms and gingival involvement. Immediate and aggressive administration of immunotherapy treatments are required due to the fatal nature of the disease as the survival rate of patients with untreated WG is low and 90% of these patients die within 1 year after respiratory or kidney involvement .
