ProsthodonticsWidened periodontal ligament space is NOT a positive bone factor. It indicates pathology such as orthodontic movement, trauma, or periodontal disease. Positive bone factors include heavy cortical bone layer (provides strength), dense lamina dura (indicates healthy bone), and normal bone height (adequate support). Widened PDL space suggests compromised support.

Resin cements are generally applied in a film thickness of 25 µm or less for optimal performance.

PeriodonticsThick manageable true pockets with no recession are best treated by an apically displaced flap procedure. The apically displaced flap technique is a common surgical method in periodontics that is effective for reducing pocket depth and increasing the width of attached gingiva, particularly in cases with sufficient keratinized tissue and no recession.

If pressure is applied to the rests during a reline impression, the framework is pushed deeper than its natural rest position, causing the base to be "short" of the tissue when later seated naturally.

Medicine
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common opportunistic viral infection following solid organ transplantation, typically occurring 1-6 months post-transtransplant, with the peak incidence around 2 months.

Corticotomy-assisted orthodontics increases the speed of tooth movement due to the controlled surgical damage that enhances bone remodeling (Regional Acceleratory Phenomenon).
