A 3-year follow-up of implant placement in proximity to canalis sinuosus: Case study.

Background: While the nasal fossa and nasopalatine canal are recognized limitations for immediate implants in esthetic areas, the canalis sinuosus (CS) and its branches have been largely overlooked. Neglecting this anatomy can lead to sensory issues, pain, and implant failure underscores the necessity of meticulous pre-surgical assessment and planning to mitigate risks and ensure implant success. This case highlights the need for comprehensive pre-surgical evaluation and precise planning to minimize these complications and ensure successful implant outcomes in this scenario.

Clinical and histomorphometric soft tissue assessment comparing free gingival graft and a collagen matrix as alveolar-sealer materials: a randomized controlled pilot clinical trial.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the alveolar sealing performance between free gingival graft (FGG) and porcine collagen membrane (MS) and qualitatively assess patient-centered outcomes via a visual analog scale.

Method And Materials: Eighteen patients were randomly divided into control (FGG) and test (MS) groups. After extraction, all the alveoli were filled with bovine bone grafts (small granules) and sealed.

Influence of Donor Site and Harvesting Technique of Connective Tissue Graft on Root Coverage Outcomes of Single Gingival Recessions: Systematic Review and Meta-analyses.

Objectives: To compare the outcomes of root coverage when the (1) donor site of connective tissue graft is the palate or tuberosity and (2) when connective tissue graft is harvested with intra- or extra-oral de-epithelization techniques.

Methods: The primary outcome was patient satisfaction. Secondary outcomes included complete root coverage, percentage of root coverage and keratinized tissue width.
