Abstract: Introduction: The use of natural teeth as abutments for overdenture has become a logic solution of the extraction of the present teeth over the previous decades. In comparison with complete dentures, roots remaining under the denture base help in keeping the alveolar ridge, provide sensory feedback and improve the stability of the dentures. Aim of the Work: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate clinically and radiologically (Panoramic x-ray) the effect of using canine supported overdenture and its effect on alveolar bone at different sites by new computerized method to preserve it and improving function, aesthetic and psychological factors..........

Key Word: Panoramic x-ray, Overdenture, Metal coping, aesthetic, retention.

Abstract: Introduction: Pantomography is the most suitable method for radiographic images indicated in dental evaluation. The word panoramic denotes to an unlimited vision of a site in all important available direction. The detection of the anatomical and structural relationships of mandible and its structure related to it as mandibular canal, mental nerve, incisive canal, and mental foramen and determination of the mental foramen site can assess to gain sufficient dose of local anesthetic solution and to reduce the accidental deterioration during surgical treatments........

Abstract: Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea is still a matter of debate. Among different therapeutic alternatives – surgical and conservative treatment with (CPAP) is considered the "gold standard". We evaluated the role of epiglottis in snoring and OSA and tried to explore the possible options of treatment. We developed a surgical technique that provides a stable support to the epiglottis without influencing its function during swallowing while preserving laryngeal anatomy and physiology

Abstract: Molecular imaging, as defined by the Society of Nuclear Medicine, is "the visualization, characterization and measurement of biological processes at the molecular and cellular levels in humans and other living systems" [1]. Molecular imaging techniques typically include molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), optical bioluminescence, optical fluorescence, targeted ultrasound, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET). Continued development and the wider availability of scanners dedicated to small animal imaging studies, can provide a similar in vivo imaging capability in mice, primates, and human, can enable smooth transfer of knowledge and molecular measurements between species, thereby facilitating clinical translation of novel imaging agents and techniques. This brief review will summarize the several methods for non-invasive cell tracking for adoptive immunotherapy of malignant tumours.
