The Moytirra hydrothermal vent field is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) at approximately 45°N, between the Azores and Iceland. This system was discovered in 2011 during an Irish-led scientific expedition aboard the RV Celtic Explorer, and was later extensively explored and sampled in 2019 by the Spanish EXPLOSEA 2 expedition aboard the RV Sarmiento de Gamboa, with the support of the remotely operated ve...

Aim: Cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients have a greater predisposition to tooth malformation, which could affect pulp volume. The aim of this study is to evaluate the dental pulp volume of central incisors in 3D images between individuals with and without CLP. Materials and Methods: This retrospective case-control study is single-centered and was recruited between January 2016 and October 2022. Ninety-four pati...
Craniofacial bone defects are one of the biggest clinical challenges in regenerative medicine, with secondary autologous bone grafting being the gold-standard technique. The development of new three-dimensional matrices intends to overcome the disadvantages of the gold-standard method. The aim of this paper is to put forth an in-depth review regarding the clinical efficiency of available 3D printed biomaterials...
Long-term stability is a crucial point in order to keep the patient’s aesthetic and functional balance. The aim of this study was to evaluate dental and skeletal relapse in patients who underwent orthodontic-surgical treatment. This retrospective study included 25 patients who corrected their dentofacial deformity through orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. The dental casts and lateral cephalograms were eval...
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is used to determine bone density in several pathologies, namely osteoporosis and fracture risk in post-menopausal women. The aim of this study was to identify, appraise and synthesize all available evidence about the correlation between Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) techniques through a systematic review. A systematic literatur...
Orthognathic surgery is a procedure used to correct intermaxillary discrepancies, thus promoting significant improvements in chewing and breathing. During the surgical planning stage, orthodontists often use two-dimensional imaging techniques. The assessment is based on CBCT images and dental cast models to overcome these limitations; however, the evaluation of soft tissues remains complex. The aim of the prese...
