Abstract: According to the United States National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, craniofacial anomalies are the most common birth defects. Genetic, epigenetic, and environmental causes lead to craniofacial anomalies which can range from cleft lip and palate to major defects in the development of the skull, face, brain, eyes, ears, and nose. Oral and maxillofacial surgeries are performed on individuals with craniofacial defects, but success of surgery is dependent on nature of the defect.

Abstract: Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is among the group of diseases that was originally called Histiocytosis X. This syndrome has an unknown etiology and originates from an excessive proliferation of Langerhans cells. The histiocytes can cause the development of other pathological conditions. LCH has a predilection for men and children and is classified into the following three types: LCH with solitary lesion, multiple lesions and disseminated/with visceral involvement.

Abstract: Laser applications in paediatric dentistry can be thought of as an alternative treatment that sometimes completes or otherwise substitutes traditional techniques. Various clinical modalities could be performed on both hard and soft tissues using lasers of various wavelengths. Among the plethora of advantages that lasers can provide in paediatric dentistry, minimally invasive and painless treatments using lasers are comforting, particularly from the perspective of a young patient as they avoid the need for painful injections or the vibration and heat generated by drills.

Abstract: Iodine and selenium are linked through their effects on thyroid function. Both also have anti-viral properties relevant to SARS-CoV-2 infection. In the form of povidone-iodine solution, iodine is a virucidal agent that has been shown in vitro to kill the coronaviruses SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, implicated in previous coronavirus epidemics.

Abstract: This article aims to review the online learning experience, the effectiveness of tele-dentistry and the importance of implementing dental virtual simulation in preclinical and clinical courses during pandemics. Some suggestions are also provided to widen communication and creativity in the education system. The limitations of online learning and suggested solutions are also discussed.

Abstract: Zygomatic osteotomies for correction of late presentation zygomatic complex fractures or hypoplasia resulting in facial deformity has traditionally required access to the zygomatic complex via a coronal approach. Coronal access can be time consuming and carries a relatively high morbidity rate, leaving a large scar that can be obvious when the hair is short, absent or wet.

Abstract: Studies have shown that the pattern, incidence, and etiology of maxillofacial injuries differ between cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Maxillofacial injuries have not been extensively studied in southern Saudi Arabia, hence the justification for the present study.

Abstract: The Nasal deformity in individuals with clefts has been an area of controversies, challenges and diversity of techniques. The aesthetic outcomes have barely been acceptable or below expectations most of the time and globally.
Case Report Pages 33-35
Abstract: Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is an uncommon mixed benign odontogenic tumor that usually presents in the first two decades of life with no predilection for sex or race. It can present either peripherally or centrally with a majority of the cases presenting in the posterior mandible. Although it usually presents in posterior mandible, we present a case of a peripheral AF in the maxillary anterior gingiva, which has been described rarely in literature.
Case Report Pages 29-32
Abstract: The existence of cancellous bone between buccal and lingual cortical plates provides guidance for the desired split plane through the osteotomy lines and interruptions increase the risk of unfavorable fractures during sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO). The aim of this study is to present a rare case of SSRO in the absence of cancellous bone concerning the osteotomy sites, a conservative approach using piezosurgery and bone separators to avoid complications.
