Introduction: Numerous anatomical theories have been developed to explain women stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and improve its management. The transperineal ultrasound is an efficient and non-invasive exam that perfectly studies the bladder neck movement and the urethral anatomy. The measurement of the static portion of the distal urethral length, considered as the functional urethral length (FUL), and of the posterior urethral closure angle (PUCA) have not been studied before and could be of interest.

Liposomes have shown to be a promising ocular drug delivery system over the years because of enhanced drug absorption, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Utilising a mucoadhesive material alongside liposomes could be a promising strategy to increase the therapeutic efficacy of ocular drugs.

This retrospective study aims to evaluate the survival and success rate of a two-step procedure that uses dual periodontal stimulation and a 3D replica of the transplanted tooth to promote ligament repair and prevent ankylosis and root resorption.
Material And Methods: All consecutive patients followed at the dental center of Rennes and having undergone a TAT in two surgical stages with double periodontal stimulation and the use of a 3D replica of the transplanted tooth between 2017 and 2022 were invited for follow-up clinical and radiographic examination.
