APE is a factor that frequently contributes to the presence of a gummy or gingival smile, and it can easily be corrected by periodontal surgery. In the present article four cases of the same situation and appropriate treatment were given for each case are presented. Keywords: Gummy smile, altered passive tooth eruption, dentogingival unit, crown lengthening procedure

This is due to mainly two reasons – pneumatization of the maxillary sinus and atrophy of the alveolar bone. The challenge is intensified when the native bone is around 2–3 mm. This requires vertical bone augmentation in the form of direct sinus lift/lateral wall sinus lift procedure. The most common complication associated with this procedure is the sinus membrane perforation resulting in unfavorable stabilization of the graft and associated bone regeneration. Simultaneous implant placement becomes all the more difficult in such situations. As a result, of which implant placement has to be deferred resulting in extended treatment duration and multiple surgical appointments. The present case report represents two such sinus membrane perforation repair cases associated with lateral wall osteotomy approach for sinus augmentation with simultaneous implant placement in the poste...

Background: The placement of endosseous dental implants is often hampered by unfavorable anatomy of the alveolar bone thereby making it difficult for the placement of implant in an optimal prosthetic position. The loss of width of the residual alveolar ridge necessitated measures which could refurbish the lost dimensions for adequate bone availability for the implant placement. Case description: Here we report the successful management of atrophic ridge condition in the maxillary anterior esthetic zone wherein the placement of implant was made possible by the placement of FDBA bone block allograft obtained from the tissue bank. The predictable osseointegration was achieved after placement of a regular platform implant and restoration of the complete esthetics, and the patient satisfaction was attained. Conclusion: Allogenic bone blocks can serve as a good alternative for autogenous bone owing to its unlimited availablility, reduced donor site morbidity, increased patient compliance, and decreased treatment time. Clinical significance: Allogenic bone block confers an excellent alternative to autogenous bone blocks for the augmentation of atrophic maxillary ridges for the placement of endosseous implant.

Corrosion of implants can lead to peri-implantitis and eventually implant failure. The aim of this study is to search and analyze the available literature to identify whether fluoride causes corrosion of titanium or Ti-6Al-4V, two materials commonly used to construct dental implants. Materials and methods: Three online databases were used to search for literature relating to this subject. These included Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and Dentistry and Oral Sciences. A scoping search was initially undertaken to identify potentially relevant literature. The studies were narrowed down by titles and abstract and then full-text review, based on predetermined inclusion/ exclusion criteria. Five studies were selected. The relevant information from the studies were extracted using a customized data extraction tool. The data were then analyzed allowing the conclusions to be drawn. Results: Of the five studies included in this mini-systematic review, all concluded that fluoride does cause corrosion of dental implants, particularly, in the presence of an acidic pH. Conclusion: Consideration must be given when prescribing topical fluorides for patients with titanium dental implants. Corrosion can occur in the presence of high fluoride levels, particularly if the oral environment is acidic.
