Evaluation of “Autogenous Bioengineered Injectable PRF – Tooth graft” combination (ABIT) in reconstruction of maxillary alveolar ridge defects: CBCT volumetric analysis
Conclusion: Autogenous fresh demineralized tooth graft that is prepared at the chairside after extractions could be considered as the gold standard for socket preservation, bone augmentation in sinuses or filling bone defects, in patients having non restorable teeth indicated for extraction. The adjuvant use of injectable PRF with its high growth factor content may contribute to more favorable and predictable bone formation at the grafted site.

A technique for relining transitional removable denture – A case report
Publication date: Available online 20 October 2016 Source:The Saudi Journal for Dental Research Author(s): Mohammed Nasser Alhajj, Ibrahim A. Ismail, Nadia Khalifa Transitional denture is a removable dental prosthesis serving as an interim prosthesis to which artificial teeth will be added as natural teeth are lost and that will be replaced after postextraction tissue changes have occurred. Its role is important in protecting the socket against trauma from tongue, food, or the opposing teeth. The aim in this report is to describe a new simple technique to create limited room on the tissue surface of the transitional d...

Oral Mucositis in Leukemic Saudi Children Following Chemotherapy
Conclusion There is a strong correlation between oral hygiene practices and the developmental severity of OM in ALL children before and during chemotherapy treatment. Oral mucositis severity associated with chemotherapy treatment has a significant effect on the dietary habits of ALL children and the use of different treatment regimens with ALL children considered to be an important risk factor for the development of OM.

Factors Influencing the Career Choices among Medical University students of King Saub bin Abdulaziz University, Riyadh Saudi Arabia; A Cross-sectional Study Design
Conclusions: Through this study we concluded that factors related to professional security, personal background influenced the career choices of pre-professional medical, dental and nursing students. However we cannot generalize the finding as it was done in one hospital of Riyadh. Nevertheless, this study was able to provide valuable information on the reasons for choosing a professional career among Saudi Arabian students. Further multicenter studies are needed to build upon the findings of the current study. (Source: The Saudi Journal for Dental Research)
