Article Synopsis
  • This study explored how the anatomy of the maxillary sinus relates to early implant failure (EIF) after sinus augmentation for dental implants.
  • A retrospective analysis of 159 sinus augmentations found that thicker lateral walls and more bony septa reduced the likelihood of EIF, while smokers had a higher risk.
  • The findings highlight the importance of detailed preoperative imaging to improve the success of sinus augmentation procedures.

The aims of this study were investigation of clinical presentation, systemic factors, and long-term malignant transformation rate in chronic hyperplastic candidiasis versus leukoplakia. This is a retrospective case-controlled study of cases with chronic hyperplastic candidiasis and leukoplakia without dysplasia, diagnosed between 2000 and 2013. A database was created, and all additional biopsies from the same cases were searched up to 2022, for records of oral malignant transformation.
