Correlation between horizontal mucosal thickness and probing depths at healthy and diseased implant sites.

Objectives: To assess the horizontal mucosal thickness (hMT) at healthy and diseased implant sites and correlate these measurements with respective probing depths (PD).

Materials And Methods: In 60 patients, hMT was assessed at the buccal aspect of healthy (n = 36) and diseased (peri-implant mucositis: n = 26; peri-implantitis: n = 167) implant sites using a validated ultrasonic A-scanner (Pirop Ultrasonic Biometer A- Scan, Echo-Son, Krancowa, Poland) equipped with a specially designed tissue probe. The corresponding PD values were measured at the mid-buccal aspects.

History of transient ischaemic attack, myocardial infarction and hyperlipidaemia affects outcome following carotid artery stenting.

Aims: This prospective registry study was intended to evaluate outcomes and predictors of adverse events following carotid artery stenting (CAS).

Methods And Results: Patients received neurological and duplex exams before CAS, prior to discharge and at 30- and 180-day follow-up. Multiple regression analysis included patient- and procedure-related characteristics.
