Skin irritation from a facial mask in Class III malocclusion: evaluation of individual silicone chin cups in a group of 100 children.
CONCLUSIONS: The authors propose a simple and effective solution to prevent skin irritation on the chin caused by a facial mask. A chin mask is a custom solution that can prevent injury to the chin during treatment when coupled with facial mask therapy.

Tooth color changes and sensitivity in patients undergoing dental bleaching with 10% hydrogen peroxide using customized trays or strips: a randomized clinical trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The bleaching effect of 10% hydrogen peroxide is not influenced by the delivering system (tray or strips). Even though the technique with strips was associated to a lower frequency of dental sensitivity, the peak level of pain was greater when compared to the technique using trays.

A comparative evaluation of APF gel, CPP/ACP paste alone and in combination with carbon dioxide laser on human enamel resistance to acid solubility using atomic absorption spectrometry: an in-vitro study.
CONCLUSIONS: Under the studied conditions, only, the APF group alone and in combination with CO2 laser could decrease enamel acid solubility.

New technique for large mandibular and surrounding soft tissue reconstruction that uses an intraoral three-dimensional distractor for one step transport disc distraction osteogenesis.
CONCLUSIONS: When compared with extra oral techniques, internal distraction has several advantages including improved stability, aesthetics, and patient motivation. The morphology, size and quality of the regenerated bone are comparable to those of normal bone, allowing both physiological mandibular aesthetic and function, especially following implant insertion and prosthetic dental rehabilitation.

Vitamin D modulatory effect on cytokines expression by human gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells.
CONCLUSIONS: Within the limits of the study, the obtained results support the hypothesis of a modulatory role of VD on periodontal cells exposed to bacterial infection, reducing their inflammatory response and increasing the secretion of anti-inflammatory and modulatory cytokines. Consequently, it could be speculated that Vitamin D assessment, and its possible implementation in deficiency cases, could play a role in periodontal treatment.

Teeth agenesis evaluation in an Italian sample of complete unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate patients.
CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first that evaluates the prevalence and distribution of hypodontia in an Italian population with cleft lip and palate. The higher congenital absence of dental elements in this group than healthy general patients is an important aspect to consider for a functional and aesthetic oral rehabilitation.

Recurrent aphtous stomatitis.
Authors: Giannetti L, Murri Dello Diago A, Lo Muzio L
Abstract
Recurrent aphtous stomatitis (RAS; recurrent aphtous ulcers, canker sores) is the most common ulcerative disease of the oral mucosa. In this paper we presented the main clinical features, epidemiologic data, etiopathogenetic factors and clinical management, based on the current medical literature reports.
