Abstract Erythema multiforme (EM) is a muco-cutaneous disorders characterized by blisters and subsequent ulcerations with varying degrees of severity. Although the exact etio-pathogenesis of erythema multiforme is not known, it…
Current periodontal treatments aim to control bacterial infection and decrease inflammation. To optimize contemporary conventional treatments that present limitations owing to an inability to reach the lesion site, new methods…
The ultimate goal in periodontal therapy is the complete re-establishment of the lost tissues. Dental researchers and clinicians are continuously working to develop current therapeutic techniques and technologies that can…
Successful periodontal regeneration requires the hierarchical reorganization of multiple tissues including periodontal ligament, cementum, alveolar bone, and gingiva. The limitation of conventional regenerative therapies has been attracting research interest in…
In this chapter, the results from a relatively recently performed systematic appraisal of the literature on the long-term outcome of regenerative periodontal treatment in intrabony defects are presented. Periodontal regenerative…
This article provides an overview of the best-documented surgical techniques for recession coverage and draws conclusions for the clinician. Use of a connective tissue graft with either coronally advanced flap…
The understanding of biological concepts in wound healing together with the evolution in biomaterials applied in periodontal regeneration allowed for improved, minimally invasive surgical techniques with a wider range of…
In this review, the authors consider the substantial advances that have been made in recent years in stem cell–based periodontal regeneration. These advances involve identifying dental- and nondental-derived stem cells…
Technological innovations in cellular and molecular aspects of tissue engineering ‐‐scaffolds, stem cells and 3D printed tissues ‐‐have been dramatically increased in the last decade. However, regenerative treatment still has…
Periodontitis is a multifactorial inflammatory condition associated with an oral microbiome dysbiosis that results in gingival inflammation and clinical attachment loss. Periodontal therapies are based on scaling and root planing…
The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is homeostatic regeneration of lost attachment of alveolar bone and gingival connective tissue to the exposed root surfaces with a fully functional and healthy…
The most common oral and maxillofacial surgical procedure in adolescents is excision of impacted third molars. Adolescent patients should be evaluated for third molars starting around age 16 years unless…
Facial and dental-related trauma is common in the pediatric population. Appropriate evaluation and management techniques should be followed. Initial evaluation of the medical condition of the patient should be completed…
This article is intended to familiarize clinicians with several pulp therapy modalities and new materials that are currently available for immature young pulp in the adolescent population. Objectives and considerations…
Adolescent patients may present with unique and challenging ethical dilemmas and legal considerations during dental treatment. From the moment the patient registers with the practice, the issues of medical history,…
This article focuses on sedation/anesthesia of adolescent patients in the dental setting. Preoperative evaluation, treatment planning, monitoring, and management are critical components to successful sedation. The authors discuss commonly administered…
Adolescence, the period from 11 to 21 years of age, bridges the chasm between childhood and adulthood. Adolescence can be challenging as bodies, cognition, and personality go through major transformations, but…
Health care transition from adolescence into adulthood is a complex process that often lacks care coordination, planning, and collaboration among the parties involved. Dental transition is significantly more challenging for…
With growing visibility, there is an increasing prevalence of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) youth who feel empowered to own their true identity. Members of the oral health…
Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, female athlete triad, bulimia nervosa, obesity, and binge eating initially emerge during adolescence. These disorders are present primarily in females, but males may also…
