ConclusionFunctional rehabilitation (in terms of masticatory performance and masticatory muscle activity) does not occur immediately after immediate loading of two implants with mandibular overdentures, but requires a significant time for functional improvement.

Simvastatin inhibits the expression of inflammatory cytokines and cell adhesion molecules induced by LPS in human dental pulp cells
ConclusionsSimvastatin has a suppressing effect on LPS?induced inflammatory cytokine, cell adhesion molecules, and NF??B transcription factors in HDPCs. Therefore, simvastatin might be a useful candidate as a pulp capping agent in vital pulp therapy.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Modified Activation Technique for Nasal Stent of Nasoalveolar Molding Appliance for Columellar Lengthening in Bilateral Cleft Lip/Palate
This article proposes a modified activation technique of the nasal stent for a NAM appliance for columellar lengthening in bilateral cleft lip/palate patients. The design highlights relining of the columellar portion of the nasal stent and the wire?bending of the nasal stent to achieve desirable results within the limited span of plasticity of the nasal cartilages. With this technique the vertical taping of the premaxilla to the oral plate can be avoided. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontics)
