The indispensable diagnostic tools are the visit of patient, diagnostic imaging tests and model analysis in antagonism to each other. Results: Classification proposal. The classification recognizes and classifies three distinct functional levels identifying them with a letter and a standardized color code. Class A (green) represents an anatomical condition that allows bilateral masticatory function; Class B (yellow) identifies bilateral edentulous conditions and represents a condition of functional sufficiency. Class C (red) represents the condition of functional insufficiency.Conclusions: The ABC classification represents a rapid pre-diagnostic tool capable of identifying 3 levels of difficulty of the clinical case: progressively, proceeding from green to red, the clinician can ideally foresee the series of pretreatments and the level of difficulty in prosthetic acceptance of every single individual. The classification is proposed as a general guideline with which to analyze advantages and disadvantages of different therapeutic alternatives, but also as an effective communication tool with the patient.","PeriodicalId":78041,"journal":{"name":"Annali di stomatologia","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135660688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, dentin is similar to autologous bone in two ways: it is both osteocompatible and osteoconductive, thus providing a physical matrix for the sediment of new bone. In this comparative study, we evaluated the osteoinductive and osteoconductive possibilities of various materials normally used in “socket preservation” or alveolar ridge preservation. From the results obtained, it can be seen that autologous dentin matrix and bovine-derived xenografts (Bio-Oss) achieved better bone regeneration with a greater amount of newly formed bone (expressed by the BV/TV parameter) and less fibrous bone, which has unfavorable characteristics for implant biomechanics.","PeriodicalId":78041,"journal":{"name":"Annali di stomatologia","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135662675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome is a sub-type of OSAS characterized by obstructive apneas mainly in the supine sleeping position. Mandibular advancement devices (MAD) are recommended as first-line therapy for mild to moderate OSA or as second-line treatment for severe OSA for patients who do not tolerate or respond to CPAP. A case report of severe positional OSAS (AHI/h 34.7) is presented. The clinical case was studied by CBCT head and neck scan and nocturnal polysomnography and treated with a mandibular advancement device, positional therapy, dietary adjustments and instructions for proper sleep hygiene. After the treatment the patient’s AHI decreased to 5.1 and his general health improved. The MAD appliance represents a valid therapeutic alternative in subjects with severe OSAS who do not tolerate CPAP. A combined approach to the pathology can improve the patient’s overall health and quality of life.","PeriodicalId":78041,"journal":{"name":"Annali di stomatologia","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135660696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the anatomophysiology characteristics of the maxillary sinus, the diagnosis of non-invasive aspergillus sinusitis relies on clinical and imaging signs, and on the medical history of the patient. Here, we present a clinical case describing a fungus ball, which diagnosis resulted particularly difficult, due to the presence of concomitant dental interventions in the same maxillary area. A 50 years-old woman, without any medical issue, came to the private dental practice complaining about nasal discharge from the left side. Dental arch were subjected to several treatments; to better understand the working plan, an orthopantomogram was performed, revealing a radiopacity in the left sinus. The conebeam computed tomography showed the obstruction of the maxillary sinus, and clarified the presence of mycetoma calculus. The patient underwent surgical Caldwell-Luc intervention and mycetoma sampling; the following in-vitro investigations revealed the presence of Aspergillus Niger. The one-year followup showed no recurrence of the infection. The reported case is aimed to underline how mycetoma is a benign condition, still unknown to dentists despite its large diffusion. Moreover, the authors want to highlight that an endodontic treatment can offer a favourable environment to mycetoma formation.","PeriodicalId":78041,"journal":{"name":"Annali di stomatologia","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135660700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
