Apart from other aspects of an implant, osseointegration has been of prime interest to rese archers and practitioners. The study of osseointegr ation alone has lead to many discoveries regarding the implant’s ma cro and micro design and has been used very advanta geously so far. Although peri-implant healing has already been studied in depth, there is little information on t he genetic influence on peri-implant bone healing. The purpose of this review is to analyze and sequence the events of per i-implant healing and to identify all the genes and their processes t hat lead to successful peri-implant healing.

In such scenarios that require such procedures, basal implants come to the rescue. Basal implants are specifically designed to allow fixed rehabilitation in severely atrophic jaws and several designs of these implants exist today that have made basal implantology flexible enough to accommodate any situation. Through this article we propose a classification for basal implants based on their morphology and also explain in detail about the various aspects of these implants.

Prosthetic materials should be translucent, color stable with a tendency to stain, easy to clean and be flexible conjunct to the skin which it adheres to. In addition, it must be able to adhere securely and comfortably and exhibit a fine line marginal contact.In this article the authors have tried to explain in detail about all maxillofacial prosthetic materials that have been used and are being used, with a note on the most recent 3D printing technology being researched currently for facial prostheses.

Locating and treating these extra canals is important in order to achieve favorable prognosis in endodontic therapy. This review article presents the anatomical variations, frequency of occurrence of aberrant root canal configuration and methods of identification using advanced imaging techniques like CBCT, DOM and loupes.

Such patients experience a change in societal acceptance that greatly affects their psyche, and often their expectation to return to a normal life collapses (4, 5). With advancements in plastic surgery, aesthetic corrections of such defects is possible, but, if surgery is contraindicated or the defect is so extensive that full closure is not possible or if the patient is unwilling to expose him/herself to surgery, maxillofacial prosthetics appear to be a viable option (6, 7, 8). With recent advancements in prosthetic materials, coloring techniques and retentive mechanisms, a life like prosthesis can be given. The biggest impact of such prostheses is not only on the appearance but majorly on the psyche of the patient. The main objective is not only rehabilitation of the defect but also restoring confidence and improving quality of life of the patient (4, 9).

Such defects compromise appearance, function and render an individual, incapable of leading a relatively normal life and affect his\her psyche. As the patients quality of life is altered; social integration becomes difficult and the expectation to return to “normalcy” collapses. The prognosis for a successful treatment outcome is dependent upon making a correct diagnosis and anticipating issues beyond the realm of dentistry alone. Microvascular surgical reconstruction by free flaps is usually the treatment of choice. However, radiation therapy, anatomic complexity, possibility of recurrence, and procedural complexity may exclude it as an option. Prosthetic rehabilitation over the years has proven its mettle when it comes to such situations. It has considerable advantages; for example, observation for recurrence of disease, esthetic superiority, technical simplicity, and inexpensiv...

It develops due to incomplete or failed fusion of the median nasal prominence. It can present with minimal deformities such as involvement of the vermilion border, or complex clefting of the midline structures and brain. Median clefts are broadly classified as true and false clefts. This case report describes a rare case of median cleft of the upper lip involving the white roll, which was not associated with any other deformities. Treatment included reconstruction of the philtrum and the cupid's bow while maintaining vermilion fullness and continuity, and minimizing scar formation. Various techniques have been advocated for treatment of this type of median upper lip cleft. Here we describe a technique using Pfeifer incision to correct our patient's defect. Pfeifer incision consists of wavy lines and its use has been advocated for correction of various craniofacial abnormalities.
