Modified root submergence technique for multiple implant-supported maxillary anterior restorations in a patient with thin gingival biotype: A clinical report
Preserving or recreating the soft tissue contours when restoring multiple tooth defects with implants is challenging. When the interimplant distance is less than 3 mm, a loss of the papilla may be observed. This is due partly to the remodeling of bone around the implant and restitution of the biologic width when the implant is placed in function. The loss of papilla has also been linked to a decrease in vascular supply to the periimplant soft tissue. The reduction in papilla height will negatively affect the reproduction of a scalloped gingival architecture. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

Interactions between occlusion and human brain function activities
Summary? There are few review articles in the area of human research that focus on the interactions between occlusion and brain function. This systematic review discusses the effect of occlusion on the health of the entire body with a focus on brain function. Available relevant articles in English from 1999 to 2011 were assessed in an online database and as hard copies in libraries. The selected 19 articles were classified into the following five categories: chewing and tongue movements, clenching and grinding, occlusal splints and occlusal interference, prosthetic rehabilitation, and pain and stimulation.
