Pattern of Fractures Among Road Traffic Accident Victims Requiring Hospitalization: Single-institution Experience in Saudi Arabia.

Introduction A bone fracture is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of the bone. One of the factors causing bone fractures is Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs), which is the first leading cause of death among people aged 15-29 years. This study aimed to determine the incidence of bone fractures among RTAs in Buraidah Central Hospital and to identify associations between gender, age, and fractures.

Ridge Preservation Comparing the Clinical and Histologic Healing of Membrane vs No-Membrane Approach to Buccal Overlay Grafting.

Twenty-four patients completed this randomized, controlled, blinded clinical trial comparing ridge preservation with a membrane (acellular dermal matrix graft [ADMG]) vs no membrane on buccal overlay graft technique. An intrasocket corticocancellous allograft with a facial overlay xenograft was used for both groups, and an ADMG was used as a membrane with guided bone regeneration in the ADMG group (control group). In the No Membrane group (test group), ADMG was used to cover only the occlusal surface for graft containment, with no membrane on the buccal overlay graft.
