This paper consists of a mini review of the literature available on pinhole surgical technique. This review shows that pinhole surgical technique allows us to reposition the gums quickly and easily, with the less invasive method, a decreased patient discomfort, a shorter treatment and recovery time and much less pain. Keywords: Osteonecrosis of the jaw; Dental status; Radiotherapy; Bisphosphonate; Multifactoria Introduction Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is defined as a painful lesion with exposed bone in maxilla, mandi...

              Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health The Bone Renaissance- From Conception to Present- Juniper Publishers Authored by  Mahmood Hussain Qureshi Abstract In a relentless pursuance of perfection and a definitive solution for long term stability of tissues around implants, the author will present an exceptional concept, ‘The Bone Renaissance’, a unique philosophy encompassing the sequential and codified reversal of the bone back to its original 3-D Engineered Divine Osseo-architecture (com’era, dov’era); by incorporating its components: transmucosal fixtures with autologous growth factors and cervix perimeters analogous to replaced teeth with stable alveolar bone, soft tissue management, vascularized osteotomies, onlay & sinus grafts. The ensuing resurrection of the lost contours of the hard and soft tissues achieved primarily by treating the bone and soft tissue deficiencies encom...

            Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health Tongue - Cause and Correction of Anterior Open Bite Malocclusion- Juniper Publishers Authored by  Arif Yezdani Abstract Objective: To evaluate the efficiency of a low lying transpalatal arch along with fixed appliance therapy in the correction of an anterior open bite malocclusion with an orthognathic maxilla and a mildly prognathic mandible with bi-maxillary dento-alveolar protrusion and forward tongue posture. Methods: Treatment involved strap-up of a pre-adjusted edgewise appliance, Roth’s prescription (0.022 X 0.028 - inch slot), with a low lying transpalatal arch 4mm away from the palatal mucosa, and a non-extraction approach. The case was assessed at start of orthodontic treatment (T1), and end of orthodontic treatment (T2). Results: At T2, the anterior open bite was corrected and the canines were treated to a class I relation....

          Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health Restoring Pink Aesthetics: A Restorative Approach- Juniper Publishers Authored by  Theologos Sioutis Abstract Restoring the pink aesthetics is a major component of modern aesthetics. Although difficult to achieve quickly, following the principles of the biologic width it is easy to manage. Keywords: Missing pappila, Pappila restoration; Papilla regeneration Introduction Restoring the papilla is a major component of modern aesthetics. Although difficult to achieve quickly, following the principles of the biologic width it is easy to manage. The biologic width determines the position of the free gingival and the tip of the papilla. The tip of the papilla between natural teeth lies 3-4mm higher than the underlying bone. Following this principle we present a case tha...

The Power of Magnification in Dentistry- Juniper Publishers

        Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health The Power of Magnification in Dentistry- Juniper Publishers Authored by Shady Negm Abstract Traditional endodontic has been based on feel not sight. Together with radiographs and electronic apex locators this blind approach has produced surprising success. There is, however, a significant failure rate, especially in long-term. Magnification helps the user not only to see more, but to see well. High levels of magnification increase the aggregate amount of visual information available to endodontists for diagnosing and treatment. Also for improving ergonomics clinically, most dental practitioners will not be able to see an open margin smaller than 0.2 mm. The film thickness of most crown and bridge cements is 25 μm (0.025 mm), well beyond the resolving power of the naked eye. That’s why magnifiers appeared. Dental loupes of different brands, types, and specific...
