The actual editorial presents some key points in regard of the clinical, radiological and surgical approach to radicular cysts of the maxilla, in a recent article [1].
After reading the text “The Role of Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Evaluation of an Extensive Radicular Cyst of the Maxilla” [1], the reader will find that the case report was accurately conducted. It is in tune with the understanding of the clinical and radiographical findings of a radicular cyst [2,3]. The surgical decompression is an important maneuver in case of large cystic chambers [2] and it was well presented.

Background/Objective: The “color” of the tooth can be improved by several treatment methods. This study evaluated the satisfaction of patients who received vital tooth bleaching in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria.
Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study of patients who received vital tooth bleaching. Prior to commencing the bleaching treatment, the shades of the upper and lower anterior teeth (canine to canine) of all the participants were determined, using the Vita Classical Scale. All participants received 2 bleaching cycles of vital tooth bleaching using 35% Hydrogen Peroxide gel. Evaluation of satisfaction with tooth color was done before and after bleaching treatment using a 5-point Likert scale.
Results: Eleven shades were recorded prior to the commencement of the bleaching procedure with the most prevalent shades being shade A2 (27.3%). There was improvement in the tooth shade for all patients using the linear scale with a mean shade difference of 5.59 ± 2.99. Prior to the commencement of the bleaching procedures, 40.9% of the participants were “not satisfied” with the color of their teeth. There was some level of increase in satisfaction of tooth color after bleaching among the participants. There was statistically significant association between the satisfaction with the outcome of the bleaching procedure and the gender of the participant.
Conclusion: Bleaching procedures when properly and safely done by professionals in well-selected cases, using 35% hydrogen peroxide, will generally provide improvements in tooth shade as well as the patient’s perception of such improvements, which is critical to client satisfaction with dental care.

Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous lesion, relatively common and usually asymptomatic with typical clinical, radiographic, incidence and frequency features. Intra-osseous changes are usually observed in the periapical region in the anterior mandibular teeth in black female patients in their fourth decade of life. The purpose of this article is to report the unusual case of a black female patient who presented periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia with painful symptomatology in the anterior mandibular teeth. Endodontic treatment of the involved teeth was performed, and without remission of the painful symptomatology even after 1 year, excision of the intra-osseous lesions was necessary. Ten years after the surgical procedure, the patient is under follow-up with no signs of recurrence of pain and the lesions.

Patients with dentoskeletal deformities might need a complex combined treatment involving Orthodontics and Orthognathics. A small number of those patients will express Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) signs and symptoms of internal disease which has to be investigated through Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) though. For optimal treatment results several details separated in many steps have to be addressed by the Orthodontist with help of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon guiding the final aim of the presurgical orthodontic treatment. Clear and agreeable discussions are frequently necessary and all professionals involved must work as a team and not as independent authoritarians. Few orthodontic details and MRI investigations are described in this mini review by the authors hoping to contribute for the study of presurgical orthodontics for combined Orthognathics and TMJ surgeries.

Rhytidoplasty, also known as facelift, is plastic surgical procedure performed with the objective of diminishing the marks caused by facial aging, such as wrinkles, creases, or deeper expression lines. These procedures can be performed together with others, such as blepharoplasty. Blepharoplasty is plastic surgery carried out with the aim of rejuvenating the eyelids and the eye region. The association of these aesthetic procedures is quite common, aiming at better results for the face as a whole.
