Intraosseous inflammatory pseudotumor of the maxilla: A case report.

Inflammatory pseudotumors are benign lesions that are rarely reported in the head and neck. Moreover, intraosseous inflammatory pseudotumors of the maxilla are extremely rare, with less than 10 cases reported. A 52-year-old woman presented with recurrent dental infections; computed tomography scan of the osteolytic maxillary bone lesion and incisional biopsy were performed.

Comparison of removal torques between laser-etched and modified sandblasted acid-etched Ti implant surfaces in rabbit tibias.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of two different implant surface treatments on initial bone connection by comparing the Removal Torque Values (RTQs) at 7 and 10 days after chemically modified, sandblasted, large-grit and acid-etched (modSLA), and Laser-etched (LE) Ti implant placements.

Materials And Methods: Twenty modSLA and 20 LE implants were installed on the left and right tibias of 20 adult rabbits. RTQs were measured after 7 and 10 days in 10 rabbits each.
