Douglas W. Beals, DDS, MS, and Thomas A. Caspers, DDS, discuss clinical considerations when planning all-on-four restorative treatment.

This case report involves conservative treatment using a fiber-reinforced, resin composite bonded fixed partial denture to replace missing mandibular central incisors.

This case report demonstrates that a twofold tunneling technique can yield predictable outcomes when treating multiple recession defects.

Readily identifying situations in which short dental implants are appropriate will set realistic clinical expectations and improve long-term surgical and prosthetic outcomes.

Properly managing mucogingival defects will set appropriate clinical expectations and improve long-term surgical outcomes.

Research into antibiotic scripts from dental providers shows declines in the rate of prescribing per patient encounter.

Useful in various dental procedures, platelet rich fibrin promotes wound healing, guides epithelial cell migration, and can be used as an adjunct for bone and soft tissue regeneration.

Newer targeted therapies are being linked with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, which underscores the need to stay abreast of its risk factors and etiologies.

Careful presurgical planning, radiographic evaluation and surgical technique will minimize complications when anatomical structures, such as the mental foramen, are positioned outside of the expected location.

The use of checklists for periodontal and other oral surgeries can help improve outcomes in clinical practice and academic settings.
