Abstract:
Nowadays, esthetics plays an important role in dentistry, along with the function of the prosthesis. The prosthetic replacement of the missing tooth should be in harmony with the adjacent natural dentition to fulfill the esthetic demand of the patient, especially in the anterior region. Alveolar ridge defects following tooth extraction can be corrected, and various techniques can be used to restore the lost alveolar hard and soft tissues. The newer technique, the vascularized interpositional periosteal connective tissue (VIP-CT) flap, has been introduced, which has the potential to augment the predictable amount of soft tissues in the esthetic zone and provide many benefits when compared to other techniques.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
