Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the soft tissue profile changes of the lower face following premolars extraction and incisor retraction. In order to do that, pre-and post treatment lateral cephalometric radiographs of 40 female orthodontic patients, with cl. II div. I malocclusion (22 patients) and bialveolar protrusion (11 patients) were analyzed. At beginning of orthodontic treatment, their mean age was 18.10 years, ranging from 15-24. All cephalometric radiographs were analyzed by a conventional and confirmed method called "combination analysis". The findings revealed that "lip tension" is a significant factor in soft tissue response to orthodontic treatment, so that in patients with lip strain, nasolabial angle increase was significantly more that those without lip strain. Moreover, regarding the increase of vermilion thickness of the upper lip, a significant difference was observed between two groups. In patients with lip strain, following premolars extraction and incisors retraction, lip strain was reduced or eliminated and upper lip vermilion thickness increased, following incisors retraction, the slope of nasal inferior border, in the group with lip strain, was reduced, while in the group without lip strain, this slope increased.

Abstract
Benign mesenchymoma is a soft tissue neoplasm that contains 2 or more mature mesenchymal tissues in addition to fibrous tissue. A rare case of gingival benign mesenchymoma in a 53- year- old man is presented and the clinicopathologic characteristics of this uncommon tumor in the head and neck region is reviewed and discussed.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Soft tissue management with providing the esthetic for restoration of a single implant in the anterior maxilla is of great importance. Tissue training helps to develop a proper emergence profile and natural tooth appearance. The aim of this article was to report a nonsurgical management of undesirable contours of soft tissue around maxillary anterior implants to achieve an optimum appearance.
Materials and Methods: A 23-year-old female with congenital missing of maxillary lateral incisors, after completion of a fixed orthodontic treatment and gain enough space, received 2 dental implants. After second phase surgery and healing period, construction of the restorations was not possible through conventional method because of severe soft tissue collapse. In this case, soft tissue contours were corrected using a provisional restoration and then final restoration was made and delivered.
Conclusion: Tissue training with a provisional restoration helps to re-establish normal gingival tissue contours and interdental papillae around the restoration of maxillary anterior implants.
