The prognosis of neck dissection with sternocleidomastoid muscle preservation and resection in advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective cohort analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Neck dissection with SCM preservation in AOSCC patients has no effect on survival and recurrence (including local recurrence and regional recurrence). It is feasible for AOSCC patients to undergo SCM-preserving neck dissection when metastatic cervical lymph nodes do not invade SCM. N stage and postoperative chemoradiotherapy affect the prognosis of AOSCC patients.PMID:38494969 (Source: Shanghai Journal of Stomatology)

Measurement of cortical bone thickness of zygomatic alveolar ridge in adolescents by Cone-beam CT and its correlation with cervical vertebral bone age
CONCLUSIONS: The cortical bone thickness of zygomatic alveolar ridge in adolescents increases with the increase of cervical vertebral bone age, and the cortical bone thickness may increase significantly during Cvs4-Cvs5. In terms of cortical bone thickness, all slices of zygomatic alveolar ridge of CVS3-CVS6 adolescents are suitable for implanting miniscrews, and the anterior slices should be selected for implantation as far as possible for Cvs3 and Cvs4 adolescents.PMID:38494971 (Source: Shanghai Journal of Stomatology)

Study on the thickness and morphology of lingual bone of impacted mandibular third molar based on CBCT and Simplant 3D reconstruction
CONCLUSIONS: The thickness of lingual bone was related to the number of impacted tooth roots, tilt direction and impacted type. In the extraction of impacted teeth, the above factors should be considered, and the injury of lingual nerve, lingual bone and surrounding soft tissue should be vigilant.PMID:38494978 (Source: Shanghai Journal of Stomatology)

Effect of gingival biotype on total crown repair and gingival crevicular fluid inflammatory factors
Shanghai Kou Qiang Yi Xue. 2023 Dec;32(6):668-672.ABSTRACTPURPOSE: To explore the effect of thick and thin sputum on the restoration of oral anterior teeth and the index of gingival crevicular fluid.METHODS: A study was conducted on 80 patients (130 teeth) who underwent full-ceramic crown treatment for anterior tooth restoration in Jiangnan University Affiliated Hospital 's oral clinic. The patients were divided into thick gingival type (42 cases, 67 teeth) and thin gingival type (38 cases, 63 teeth) according to their gingival biotype. The two groups were compared before and after the restoration with improved plaque inde...

Clinical comparative study of efficacy of Er:YAG laser for debonding different veneers
CONCLUSIONS: Er:YAG laser can completely debond lithium disilicate glass-ceramic veneers, and the debonding time depends on the transparency and thickness of the veneers. The lower translucent porcelain veneers (e.max LT) and thicker ones (1.0 mm-thick) had a longer debonding time. Moreover, Er:YAG laser does not damage the morphology and topography of the veneer and the teeth surface.PMID:38494964 (Source: Shanghai Journal of Stomatology)
