Validation of Vectra 3D Imaging Systems: A Review.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
July 2022
Three-dimensional facial imaging systems are a useful tool that is gradually replacing two-dimensional imaging and traditional anthropometry with calipers. In this varied and growing landscape of new devices, Canfield (Canfield Scientific, Parsippany, NJ, USA) has proposed a series of static and portable 3D imaging systems. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the current literature regarding the validation of Canfield's Vectra imaging systems.

Materials And Methods: The author retrospectively reviewed the records of subjects evaluated at the Maxillofacial Surgery Unit, Department of Neurosciences, University of Padova Medical School, Padova, Italy, from 2016 to 2018. Only patients with complete demographic, anthropological and CBCT dataset were enrolled.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the displacement of dental materials into the maxillary sinus and the resulting foreign body incidents in patients, particularly due to routine dental implants.
- An analysis of 11 consecutive patients with maxillary sinus foreign bodies led to the preference of different surgical approaches, including nasal endoscopic techniques and combined methods, with a noted complication rate.
- The authors propose a decision-making flowchart for selecting surgical techniques, emphasizing the importance of proper methods to reduce complications and enhance future dental treatments, while suggesting the need for larger studies to validate their findings.
Introduction: Over the last 30years, dental implants have become widespread all over the world. Though the implantation procedure is standardized and safe, the displacement of implants into the maxillary sinus can occur. The aim of the study has been to describe a novel combined nasal endoscopic approach through the middle and lower meatus for managing dental implants displaced into the maxillary sinus.

Human relaxin-2 is a peptide hormone that has recently been associated with cancer. It can induce human osteoclast differentiation and activation, suggesting a role in tumor-driven osteolysis.
