Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Mild form of molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) on anterior teeth are posing great challenges to dental practitioners as it can have a huge aesthetic impact. In terms of deep MIH-related lesion below the healthy enamel, highly invasive methods for approaching the lesion body and removing the entire hypomineralized enamel using burs could lead to failures including aesthetic problems and even further tooth structure damage to the affected teeth. Case report: To resolve t his issue, we have proposed a modified resin infiltration technique based on the minimally invasive philosophy. In this study, we would like to report three specific cases …

Clinical Perspectives On Post-Operative Care For Tethered Oral Tissues (Tots), Robyn A. Merkel-Walsh, Lori L. Overland 2024 None

Clinical Perspectives On Post-Operative Care For Tethered Oral Tissues (Tots), Robyn A. Merkel-Walsh, Lori L. Overland

International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy

Introduction: Post-operative frenectomy care is often focused on active wound management (AWM) and followed by neuromuscular re-education (NMR). The standard practices of AWM are varied amongst providers. AWM is often expected to be performed by caregivers who have little to no experience with AWM. In contrast, NMR is individualized to patient needs and has been emerging in external evidence as a beneficial modality for the functional implications of tethered oral tissues (TOTs). It is guided by licensed professionals but is not often accessible or recommended.

New Perspective: AWM and NMR often are similar in execution but differ in goals. AWM …
