BACKGROUND: To calculate the prevalence of dehiscences and fenestrations and measure the buccal alveolar bone width overlying healthy mandibular incisors and canines. METHODS: Cone beam computerized tomographies (CBCTs) from patients aged 18 to 30 years were selected from a private database. The thickness of buccal bone in the sagittal scan was measured perpendicular to the long axis of 6 teeth at two locations: at the crest level and at the mid-root level. A single calibrated examiner performed all measurements. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed.

OBJECTIVES: In-vitro data have shown that cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) enhances the proliferative and migratory properties of cells involved in periodontal wound healing/regeneration, stabilizes the blood clot, reduces the inflammatory response, and facilitates angiogenesis.

This study was performed to evaluate the reliability of peri-apical
radiographs in determining peri-implant marginal bone level changes. The
STROBE guidelines were followed. Marginal bone levels were measured at the
time of implant insertion using a straight periodontal probe and using peri-apical
radiographs. These intraoperative and radiographic measurements were repeated at
the time of second surgery. All radiographs were analysed by two examiners blinded
to the intraoperative measurements. To standardize the radiographic images, the
