The submandibular space is a fascial compartment of the neck that can become the site of a serious and potentially life-threatening infection. Most cases arise from dental disease, typically an infected lower molar whose pus spreads through the tissues below the mandible. Because the infection ca...

The socket shield technique is an innovative approach to immediate implant placement that aims to preserve the buccal bone and gingival architecture after tooth extraction. When a tooth is removed, the bundle bone on the facial aspect of the socket tends to resorb rapidly, often producing an esth...

Glass ionomer cements occupy a unique place in restorative dentistry because of their ability to bond directly to tooth structure and release fluoride over the long term. Since their introduction more than half a century ago, they have evolved into a versatile family of materials used for liners,...
