In forensic medicine, diagnosis of sex is the first step in the identification of human skulls. A first approximation is carried out via the qualitative analysis of a series of morphological indicators of sexual dimorphism. Classical studies (Krogman & Iscan, 1986) described 14 indicators for the diagnosis of sex with an accuracy of 90%, and one of these indicators is the shape of the palate. T...

The successful use of surgical and medical methods jaw bone tissue restoration has been convincingly confirmed in clinical practice. At the same time, technologies are being developed to improve osseointegration dental implants patients with osteoporosis. various implant coatings, as well systemic therapy, demonstrate emergence new directions treatment partial or complete secondary edentulism c...

Dental implants are routinely used to treat edentulism. Their success depends on osseointegration, the direct functional and structural interlocking of implant and bone. The osseointegration mechanism is similar to bone remodeling and healing. Thus, chronic use of systemic medications that can interfere with bone turnover and healing may affect osseointegration, resulting in premature implant l...

Despite ≤significant advances in dental therapeutics, there are patients for whom no reasonable treatment is available that will reliably restore or maintain their existing dentition. The causes for future edentulism include untreatable periodontal disease, advanced caries, failing root canal therapy, inadequate numbers of teeth to support a fixed prosthesis, or a history of failed previous reh...

Loss of teeth and their surrounding tissues should be considered a form of amputation. Edentulism often results in a loss of quality-of-life, and it remains a major problem in oral health, since the decline of its prevalence is offset by the sheer volume of the aging population. The serendipitous discovery THE FOUNDATION FOR ORAL REHABILITATION (FOR) is an independent, international initiative ...
