Abstract: Background: The real "weapon" that changed the fate of the challenge to SARS-CoV-2 was the vaccine. Vaccination is done by injection, usually in the deltoid muscle. Alongside the classic method of administering vaccines, it is possible to use the "needle free" technique. This technology consists in the administration by means of a high-speed jet, which completely replaces the use of the needle and therefore of the traditional puncture, guaranteeing total absorption of the drug injected intramuscularly. The "FAST & SAFE" experimentation is part of the perspective of enhancing the results.....

Abstract: White sponge nevus (WSN) is a rare hereditary dyskeratotic hyperplasia of mucous membranes. It is an autosomal dominant disorder with variable penetrance. We report a case of WSN in a healthy 41-year-old male with no history of familial involvement. A white smooth plaque with no erythema or other structural abnormalities was observed, which confirmed the diagnosis of WSN histopathologically. Patient was given 0.2% chlorhexidine for 2 weeks which resolved the lesion completely.

Abstract: Residual ridge resorption (RRR) is progressive, irreversible, and cumulative condition that poses significant challenges in the fabrication and functionality of complete dentures. This process leads to the loss of sulcular depth, vertical dimension, and decreased lower facial height, adversely affecting denture stability and patient comfort. The consequences of mandibular ridge resorption on denture performance include: Loss of Retention and Stability and Neuromuscular Challenges. Mandibular ridge resorption presents significant challenges in complete denture fabrication.......

Abstract: Background The surgical skills and application of knowledge in clinical situations and regular assessment of student’s surgical skills are essential. Formative assessment forms a critical aspect of the undergraduate medical curriculum, and their skills can be certified periodically for undergraduates. Assessment should aim to help the students develop the skills and knowledge of the subject, which is considered crucial for the students to blossom into successful surgeons in the future. While....
