Periodontal health is today conceived as an integral part of systemic health itself and no longer as a single factor. Literature recognizes that the presence of periodontal disease can represent a risk factor for numerous systemic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. In recent years we have witnessed a progressive interest regarding the influence exerted by this condition on the reproductive sphere, as well as on the possible repercussions on the conception possibilities. Following the analysis of the limited number of studies available for the correlation between periodontal disease and female infertility, it could be inferred that this condition can be equated to the presence of a real outbreak of infection and therefore exert its influence not only through bacterial translocation in the bloodstream, causing the systemic dissemination of pathogens, but also through the production of cytokines and immunoglobulins by inflammatory mediators. This situation limits bacteria growth, but it could cause damage to the fetus, to the reproductive system, and could invalidate conception attempts. Although many other studies and research are needed to better clarify the mechanism underlying the possible correlation between periodontal disease and female infertility, this article aims to review all the available literature concerning this topic.

For the better out come of the fixed dental prosthesis in terms of periodontal health, in terms of aesthetics and longevity of the prosthesis, a good and proper retraction of the gingival tissue is very much required. For the proper placement of the fixed dental prosthesis over the prepared tooth requires close contact with the adjacent tissue i.e. gingiva, so for the proper and placement of the prosthesis in the close proximity requires adequate isolation and retraction of the soft tissue around the prepared tooth. For the procedure of gingival retraction various methods and different materials are available.

The buccalexostoses are broad-based, non-malignant surface growth occurring on the outer or facial surface of the maxilla and/or mandible, found usually in the premolar and/or molar regions, and rarely in the anterior region. A 35-years-old female patient seeks the dentist for a carious anterior tooth. On examination, bone exostosis on the buccal aspect of both quadrants of the maxillary arch was found. They are painless and may increase patient concern about poor esthetics, inability to perform oral hygiene procedures, and compromised periodontal health by causing food lodgment. The following article presents a very rare case of bilateral buccal-sided maxillary exostosis in the anterior region.

Computerized auditory training (CAT) is a convenient, low-cost approach to improving communication of individuals with hearing loss or other communicative disorders. A number of CAT programs are being marketed to patients and audiologists. The present literature review is an examination of evidence for the effectiveness of CAT in improving speech perception in adults with hearing impairments. Six current CAT programs, used in 9 published studies, were reviewed. In all 9 studies, some benefit of CAT for speech perception was demonstrated. Although these results are encouraging, the overall quality of available evidence remains low, and many programs currently on the market have not yet been evaluated. Thus, caution is needed when selecting CAT programs for specific patients. It is hoped that future researchers will (a) examine a greater number of CAT programs using more rigorous experimental designs, (b) determine which program features and training regimens are most effective, and (c) indicate which patients may benefit from CAT the most.
