Objective: The purpose of this article is to describe long-term results of the dynamic implant valve approach (DIVA) for the dental implant procedures when the implant system with internal ports was used.
Method And Materials: During 2012 to 2015, 378 titanium-aluminum-vanadium implants (Ti6Al4V ELI; diameter 3.75 mm; length 11.
Objective: To describe an innovative miniature visualization surgical endoscope and endoscopic techniques applicable to dental implant procedures.
Materials And Methods: A newly developed modular dental implant endoscope is introduced, and the first impressions from its use in different implant procedures are reported.
Results: Details of the device that combines an endoscope, irrigation cannulas, and a surgical microinstrument channel are presented.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe an innovative surgical technique for the removal of posterior and hilar stones of the submandibular salivary duct.
Methods: Between 1999 and 2005, 172 patients who had sialolithiasis of the submandibular duct were treated primarily by transoral incision and marsupialization of the duct and salivary gland. The ductal stretching technique involved endoscopic location of the stone, incision of the oral mucosa above the duct, isolation of the duct from the surrounding tissues, stretching of the duct, ductal incision above the calculus, sialolithotomy, and insertion of a drain.
Purpose: This article describes the use of combined endoscopic and ultrasound approach to locate and to extract impacted parotid stones, which cannot be retrieved by intraoral approach alone.
Patients And Methods: A total of 12 parotid glands from 7 women and 5 men (age range, 35 to 62 years) with parotid sialoliths were treated with the combined method. Eleven of 12 of the procedures were performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient clinic.
