Effectiveness of a flipped classroom for undergraduate in implant dentistry hands-on course.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the learning in the implant dentistry hands-on course to that of the flipped classroom (FC) and the traditional lecture cohorts (control).

Materials And Methods: In this study,80 students were enrolled for the first time in an implant dentistry program. Subsequently, they were divided into two groups.

Immediate Versus Non-immediate Loading Protocols for Reduced-Diameter Implants Supporting Overdentures: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Purpose: To compare the influence of immediate loading (IL) and non-immediate loading (NIL) protocols on overdentures retained by reduced-diameter implants (≤ 3.5 mm).

Materials And Methods: Electronic databases including MEDLINE (via PubMed), Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing clinical outcomes of immediately loaded and non-immediately loaded reduced-diameter implants supporting overdentures.

Percutaneous Closure vs. Surgical Repair for Postinfarction Ventricular Septal Rupture: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: Ventricular septal rupture is an important high-mortality complication in the scope of myocardial infarctions. The effectiveness of different treatment modalities is still controversial. This meta-analysis compares the efficacy of percutaneous closure vs.

Case report: Surgical repair of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries with the guidance of three-dimensional printing.

A 10-year-old girl presented with obvious cyanosis, and the saturation of arterial blood oxygen (SpO) was decreased to 60.5% in the outpatient examination. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) and echocardiography suggested congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGAs), membranous ventricular septal aneurysm (MVSA), atrial septal defect (ASD), severe pulmonary stenosis (PS), and severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR).
