Dr. Krasimira Baynova Allergist and national consultant for Spain on hereditary angioedema Virgen del Rocio University Hospital, Seville, Spain   An adverse drug reaction/ADR/ is any unintended, harmful effect of a drug that occurs at doses used for prophylaxis, diagnosis or treatment in humans and affects 1/10 of the general population. Only 10% of these reactions are due to true hypersensitivity. Hypersensitivity reactions are ADRs caused by active ingredients and/or excipients that manifest clinically with signs and symptoms that differ from the pharmacological effects of the drug. Hypersensitivity reactions are allergic and non-allergic. Allergic reactions, according to their immunological mechanism, are of 4 types: type 1- IgE mediated; type 2 - IgG or IgM mediated cytoly

Prof. Nejat Nizam DDS, PhD Ege University, Izmir, Turkiye   Dental implants are increasingly used to replace missing teeth in all areas of the mouth. Since the macro design of the implants widely varies, the amount of bone removed depends on the shape and volume of implant body it can be assumed that the volume of the removed vital tissue is proportional to the volume of the implant material. Therefore, placing an implant with minimal material volume may have biological advantages both in the short and long term. Also the need for tissue substitute in regenerative procedures may be decreased. The topic will cover the biological perspective in implant dentistry, in

The mucous membrane of the oral cavity is constantly subjected to influences from various factors – mechanical, physical, chemical, thermal, dental abnormalities, trauma, etc. All of them can lead to impairments with different clinical characteristics. Depending on their connection and the presence of concomitant diseases or predisposing factors, the damage to the mucous membrane can be divided into primary (impact of isolate

Following various pre-restorative procedures, these restorations can even be performed without any preparation. Correct indication, efficient isolation, successful adhesion, proper layering technique, detailed polishing procedures, and frequent recalls are the main necessities for long-lasting direct anterior restorations. Additionally, in terms of esthetic and functional dentistry, generating a natural morphology is also needed for dire

Dr. Ahmed Tarek Farouk BDs, MSc, PhD Restorative Dentistry Department Misr International University, Egypt   Dental esthetics and minimal invasive dentistry have become increasingly important during the last decade when considering diagnosis and treatment planning. Practicing additive dentistry rather than subtractive one in conjunction with applying the concept of adhesive partial restorations allows for a greater preservation of healthy tissue than one for a full ceramic restoration. this approach also allows for proper restoration of both anatomical and functional relations of the offending tooth while maintaining its integrity. The aim of this session is to present the whole clinical workflow starting from case assessment and ending by selection of the appropriate ceme

Assoc. Prof. Hristina Arnautska, DMD, PhD Head of the Department of Orthodontics Faculty of Dental Medicine Medical University - Varna, Bulgaria   The impaction of teeth is a process of their permanent retention in the bone after the time for their normal eruption and after completion of root growth. Knowing the eruption times, a focused clinical examination, and radiographic examination in the stages of transition from deciduous to permanent dentition will aid in early diagnosis and early prevention of deviations in tooth eruption. Removing etiological factors and directing tooth eruption will lead to normal development of the alveolar bone and jaws, providing harmonious development of the developing organism and conditions for achieving normal occlusal relationships.
