Piezopuncture-Assisted Canine Distalization in Orthodontic Patients: Two Case Reports
With the increasing number of young adults seeking orthodontic treatment to improve their smile esthetics or oral function, the time spent wearing brackets is one of the biggest challenges for these patients. Various surgical techniques have been developed over the years to accelerate tooth movement and reduce the total treatment time. A newly introduced, minimally invasive procedure namely piezopuncture, which uses a piezosurgical tool to create multiple cortical punctures through the gingiva, is presented in this report of two extraction cases.

Adenoid Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Oral Cavity: a Case Report
We report a case of adenoid squamous cell carcinoma in a 63-year-old female patient presented with a large mass in the left mandibular alveolar ridge. Histologically, the lesion showed areas of conventional squamous cell carcinoma along with atypical epithelial cells forming a glandular pattern. However, there is no evidence of glandular differentiation, secretory activity or its products. Adenoid squamous cell carcinoma must be differentiated from adenosquamous carcinoma in which adenocarcinoma elements are positive for mucins. There are few cases reported to establish biological behaviour and prognosis. (Source: Journal ...

Pain Perception Due to Dental Injection by Smartject: Split Mouth Design Study
Conclusion: It is suggested, needle penetration is not the main reason of pain during injection. Inconsistent fluid pressure created by injected anesthetic solution on nerve fibers is more impressive in pain development. Hence, Smartject as a CCLAD can be considered as an appropriate device for dental injection. Keywords●Anesthesia, Local  ●Pain Perception  ●Injections  ●Visual Analogue Scale (Source: Journal of Dentistry, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences)

Comparison the Pain Relief of Amitriptyline Mouthwash with Benzydamine in Oral Mucositis
Conclusion:Use of amitriptyline mouthwash had local anesthetic effects in oral mucositis without systemic side effects. Decrease in the severity of pain with the use of amitriptyline mouthwash was more than that of benzydamine HCL mouthwash. Keywords●Amitriptyline  ●Benzydamine Mucositis  ●Topical anesthetic  ●Mouthwash (Source: Journal of Dentistry, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences)

Cone Beam CT Study of Temporal Crest Canal
Conclusion: Three-dimensional images of CBCT data are useful in confirming the presence of TCC. TCC is considered as a clinically significant structure; therefore, this variation should be carefully investigated using reconstructed CBCT images.  Keywords●Cone-Beam Computed  ● Tomography  ●Prevalence  ●Mandible   (Source: Journal of Dentistry, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences)

Low Lymphatic Vessel Density Correlates with Lymph Node Metastasis in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Conclusion: Our study provides evidence that lymphangiogenesis varies within the tumor. Lymphatic vessels are either compressed, collapsed, destroyed or absent in deep intratumoral region. Decrease in LVD predicts cervical lymph node metastasis both in superficial and deep areas. Lymphatics in superficial areas are probably major conduit for nodal metastasis in OSCCs. Keywords●Mouth neoplasms  ●Lymphatic vessels  ●Lymph nodes  ●Lymphangiogenesis  ●Immunohistochemistry (Source: Journal of Dentistry, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences)

Palisaded Encapsulated (Solitary Circumscribed) Neuroma of the Buccal Mucosa: a Rare Case
The rarity of oral soft tissue spindle cell tumors combined with overlapping microscopic patterns can make challenges in their diagnosis and treatment. Oral cavity palisaded encapsulated neuroma is an uncommon lesion which occurs often on the hard palate. It is essential for oral pathologists to be familiar with its histopathology of this lesion is essential since many lesions are probably diagnosed microscopically as neurofibroma or schwannoma. Here, we report a case of oral palisaded encapsulated (solitary circumscribed) neuroma in an unusual site. (Source: Journal of Dentistry, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences)

Angulated Implants for Fabrication of Implant Supported Fixed Partial Denture in the Maxilla
Until recently, angled abutments have been the only solution to correcting the trajectory of the emergence profile of labially inclined implants in the maxilla. However, the clinical implications of angled abutments reveal several shortcomings. Newly designed angulated implants with a 12-degree restorative platform angulation are an alternative to angled abutments. The purpose of this article was to report a case utilizing new angulated implants (Co-axis, Keystone dental, Burlington, MA, USA) in the premaxilla thereby facilitating fabrication of a multi-unit implant retained fixed dental prosthesis.
