Article Abstract
The endoscopic endonasal corridor for odontoidectomy (EEO) is a valuable route in expert's hand to manage craniovertebral junction (CVJ) pathologies of the midline. The possibility to preserve part of the C1 anterior arch along to an adequate preoperative planning, makes this option a viable choice especially in elderly patients with multiple comorbidities who cannot sustain a second procedure closed in time. Indeed, the current case shows the results of EEO in the presence of ventral compression due to degenerative non-rheumatoid retro-odontoid pannus in an 80-year-old male. Due to the absence of instability preoperatively and the C1 anterior arch preservation, no posterior instrumentation was planned nor was necessary at follow-up. A step-by-step description of the technique is showed.

The impact of overjet, overbite, and anterior crowding on oral health-related quality of life of adolescents: A cross-sectional study.
J Educ Health Promot

Dental Students' Research Committee, School of Dentistry, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran.
Background: Orthodontic malocclusions could affect oral health-related quality of life (OHR-QoL). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of overjet, overbite, and anterior crowding on OHR-QoL of adolescents.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 143 adolescents (71 boys and 72 girls) aged 10-15 years seeking orthodontic treatment.
Objective: To evaluate the measurement accuracy of 2 swept-source optical biometers, the IOLMaster 700 and the Revo FC 130, in patients diagnosed with cataracts.
Methods: We conducted a prospective, observational and comparative study in patients older than 40 years with cataracts. A single operator performed optical biometry using both devices during the same session.

Objective: To determine the state of ocular surface and tear film in college students who are users of inhalants, mainly vapers.
Methods: We conducted a descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional study with 62 participants whose sociodemographic characteristics, ocular surface status, tear film and variables related to vaping were evaluated. Individuals with a higher (5-7 times per week of consumption) and lower frequency of vaping (1-4 times per week of consumption) were evaluated.
Fully-Guided Placement of Dental Implants Utilizing Nasopalatine Canal Fixation in a Novel Rotational Path Surgical Template Design: A Retrospective Case Series.

Objectives: Precise implant placement in the anterior and posterior maxilla often presents challenges due to variable bone and soft tissue anatomy. Many clinicians elect a freehand surgical approach because conventional surgical guides may not always be easy to design, fabricate, or utilize. Guided surgery has been proven to have advantages over freehand surgical protocols and therefore, the present study proposed utilizing the nasopalatine canal (NPC) as an anatomical reference and point of fixation for a novel rotational path surgical template during computer-aided implant surgery (CAIS).

Introduction: Tunnel widening following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction remains a significant clinical concern. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) screws offer favorable biomechanical properties and MRI compatibility; however, they lack osteoconductivity, which may contribute to tunnel widening. This study investigated whether hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated polyether ether ketone (PEEK) screws reduce tibial tunnel widening compared to uncoated PEEK screws, considering the osteoconductive properties of HA.
