Introduction And Importance: Placing dental implants in a narrow mandibular alveolar ridge poses a range of significant challenges. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the combined application of piezoelectric surgery and magnetic mallet for alveolar ridge splitting and bone expansion in dental implant procedures. It aims to highlight the potential benefits of integrating these technologies in mandibular implant sites.

Background and objective Zoledronic acid (ZA) has been reported to aid with the formation of new bone, inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption, and improve osteoblast proliferation. This split-mouth randomized clinical research aimed to evaluate the effect of the local application of ZA on bone regeneration after the removal of bilateral mandibular third molars. Methods A randomized, split-mouth study involving 12 patients aged 19-35 years requiring extraction of bilaterally mandibular third molars was conducted.

Introduction Several articles have investigated the intra-alveolar applications of bioadhesive gels containing various medicines and active chemicals, such as chlorhexidine (CHX) and hyaluronic acid (HA) to minimize the numerous postoperative sequelae, such as a dry socket. The purpose of this study was to investigate the postoperative outcomes of intra-alveolar application of 0.2% chlorhexidine or hyaluronic acid following atraumatic extraction.
