Various cases of introduction of air into soft tissues have been reported in the dental literature. Here, we report a rare case of localized sublingual emphysema after alveoloplasty. There was no facial involvement.

Effect of membrane exposure on guided bone regeneration: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aims: This review aimed at investigating the effect of membrane exposure on guided bone regeneration (GBR) outcomes at peri-implant sites and edentulous ridges.

Material And Methods: Electronic and manual literature searches were conducted by two independent reviewers using four databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, for articles up to February 2017. Articles were included if they were human clinical trials or case series reporting outcomes of GBR procedures with and without membrane exposure.

The effect of partially exposed connective tissue graft on root-coverage outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The aim of this systematic review was to compare the root-coverage outcomes of using a partially exposed connective tissue graft (CTG) technique with a fully covered CTG technique for root coverage. An electronic search up to February 28 , 2017, was performed to identify human clinical studies with data comparing outcomes of root coverage using CTG, with and without a partially exposed graft. Five clinical studies were selected for inclusion in this review.
