Hypnosis is a valuable tool in the management of patients who undergo surgical procedures in the maxillofacial complex, particularly in reducing and eliminating pain during surgery and aiding patients who have dental fear and are allergic to anesthesia. This case report demonstrates the efficacy of hypnosis in mitigating anxiety, bleeding, and pain during dental surgery without anesthesia during implant placement of tooth 14, the upper left first molar.

Transposition of maxillary teeth is an eruptive disturbance occurring in approximately 1 of every 300 orthodontic patients. Such cases are frequently very challenging in terms of treatment planning and orthodontic management. The canine is one of the most commonly transposed teeth, ectopically positioned with either the lateral incisor or the first premolar. This case report illustrates unique orthodontic treatment, describes treatment procedures, and presents the final outcome of bilateral maxillary canine-lateral incisor complete transpositions in which the involved teeth were moved to their clinically normal position in the dental arch without extracting premolars.

Sex determination is the first step to identify corpses or skeletal remains and mandible is more easily sexed bone, with accurately above 90% however, skeletal features vary by population. We measured mandibular branch in Brazilian population to determine sex. Methods: Five mandibular anthropometric parameters were measured in 100 Brazilians adult mandibles, 80 males (mean 38.58 years), 20 females (mean 31.75 years), and the relationships of these variables with gender were determined. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: No significant statistical difference was observed between the two genders samples. Pearson´s correlation coefficient indicated average correlation to moderate in three measures (1&2: 0.64; 3&4: 0.68 and 4&5: 0.73) last measurement was the strongest. Conclusion: The five anthropometric parameters used on this study were not enough to differentiate the sex in mandibles. Brazilian population has a high-level of miscegenation, than a major experimental sample can provide greater accuracy in determining the sex.
