Case Rep Dent. 2025 Feb 10;2025:5548590. Patients with oral lichen planus can sometimes develop malignancy of the process and develop oral squamous cell carcinoma or another type of cancer. Close monitoring of the lesions and early diagnosis is important to increase patient survival. Once cancer treatment has been performed, the therapeutic options for restoring masticatory and phonatory function, in addition to resolving the aesthetic sequelae, are important. In the present clinical case, we show a patient who was treated and followed over a long period of time for both her carcinoma and her subsequent rehabilitation with implants.

Dent J (Basel). 2024 Dec 27;13(1):12. Vertical atrophy of the maxilla has traditionally been treated with sinus lift procedures and implant placement, performed in one or two surgical stages. Subsequently, the transcrestal sinus lift technique was introduced, offering distinct advantages in terms of indications and reduced morbidity. Most recently, short implants have emerged as a valid alternative to these procedures, even in cases of severe horizontal resorption, allowing for direct placement in many cases. This study was designed to assess the clinical outcomes of short implant placement in alveolar ridges with severe bone atrophy, compared with conventional-length implants placed in areas undergoing conventional sinus elevation.

Front Dent Med. 2024 Dec 11;5:1465137. The jaw with severe bone atrophy is a difficult challenge when rehabilitating with dental implants. To be able to place dental implants in the most severe cases and to achieve an increase in bone volume by means of the tension transmitted by the load is a novelty. This work provides data on the alveolar bone changes in a severely atrophic mandible that has been treated with implant supported prosthesis under progressive loading protocol.

Cutis. 2022 Mar;109(3):163-166. The use of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) is a treatment for erosive oral lichen planus (OLP) resistant to steroid therapy. An anonymous database at a clinical center was reviewed to collect demographic data, lesion type, treatment protocol, number of infiltrations, pain score, and healing time of the lesions.

J Oral Implantol. 2022 Dec 1;48(6):595-603 The aim of this work is to assess the clinical outcomes of implants placed after a nasal floor elevation procedure
