Emerging studies have presented an initial picture of the toxic effects of exposure to environmental micro- and nanoplastics.They have indicated that micro- and nanoplastics may induce toxicity by leading to oxidative stress, energy metabolism disorders, gene damage, and so forth in environmental organisms, marine invertebrates and vertebrates, and
Treating patients with excessive gingival display (EGD) to provide them with a pleasant smile is a challenge to periodontists.A gummy smile can be due to excessive vertical bone growth, dentoalveolar extrusion, short upper lip, upper lip hyperactivity, or altered passive eruption (APE).In addition, many patients have a lack of lip support due to ma
