Background: Maxillary sinus augmentation (MSA) is a standard and predictable procedure to increase bone height in the atrophic posterior maxilla. Many biomaterials are employed in this technique; however, autologous platelet concentrates have been found to reduce clinical recovery time and improve bone gain in MSA.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the radiographic, histomorphometric, and implant stability outcomes of titanium-prepared platelet-rich fibrin (T-PRF) and deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) in a two-stage MSA technique.
The Potential Risk: Evaluation of HgA1c Levels Prior to Dental Implant Surgery in Patients without a Diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus.
Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants
November 2024
Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) poses a significant global health concern, with approximately one in two affected individuals remaining undiagnosed. The failure to diagnose or inadequately control DM can lead not only to systemic complications but also to decreased dental implant survival rates, increased marginal bone loss, and increased susceptibility to peri-implantitis. This study aims to evaluate glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients who have not been diagnosed with DM but exhibit oral DM symptoms prior to dental implant surgery.

- The study aimed to assess how a training program and medication reminder wristwatches impacted treatment adherence in older patients with hypertension.
- It involved 90 participants divided into three groups: one using the wristwatch, one receiving training, and a control group, with assessments conducted before and after the interventions.
- Results showed that the wristwatch group had the lowest blood pressure and highest medication adherence scores, indicating the effectiveness of both the training and the wristwatch in improving treatment adherence over 12 weeks.
The effect of maxillary sinus floor elevation with lateral antrostomy approach on nasal mucociliary functions.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
January 2025
Purpose: It is aimed to evaluate the effect of maxillary sinus elevation with lateral antrostomy approach on mucociliary functions using the saccharin test.
Methods: The study was planned prospectively. 29 patients who underwent maxillary sinus elevation were included in the study.
Aim: The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between nurses' burnout status and their intention to leave the job during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Materials And Methods: The population of the descriptive study, which seeks a relationship, consists of nurses working in State Hospital, the sample consists of 213 nurses who agreed to participate in the research between April 2021 and August 2021. Data were collected using the 'Personal Data Collection Form', 'Burnout Scale' and 'Intention to Leave Scale'.
