Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic raised the question about the extent of microbial exposure encountered by dentists during dental therapy. The purpose of this study was to quantify microbial counts on surgical masks related to duration and type of dental therapy, as well as patient oral health variables.
Materials And Methods: Sterile filter papers were fixed on surgical masks used during routine daily dental therapy.
Aim: To report the 10-year clinical and radiographic outcomes of implants placed in grafted (GBR) and non-grafted (no-GBR) sites in a Swiss specialist private practice using hydrophilic implants with a low surface roughness flange.
Methods: Fifty consecutively enrolled patients received 159 hydrophilic implants with a low surface roughness flange. A first re-evaluation was performed 1 year after delivery of restoration (T1).
Background And Objective: Recommendations of first-line therapies for metastatic hormone-sensitive (mHSPC), nonmetastatic castrate-resistant (M0CRPC), and metastatic castrate-resistant (mCRPC) prostate cancer do not account for cardiotoxicity due to a lack of clear prior evidence. This manuscript assesses cardiotoxicity of these therapies.
Methods: We searched Ovid Medline, Elsevier Embase, and the Cochrane Library for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) from database inception to January 14, 2024.
Article Synopsis
- A thorough examination of patients evaluates periodontal and peri-implant diseases to determine a pretherapeutic prognosis for each tooth and implant, categorizing them as secure, doubtful, or hopeless.
- Secure prognosis units may only need simple procedures, while doubtful ones require comprehensive therapy to improve their condition, and hopeless units are recommended for extraction during initial treatment phases.
- The primary goal of therapy is to halt disease progression; while periodontitis can be managed effectively, achieving complete resolution of conditions like peri-implantitis can be difficult and often necessitates surgical intervention.
Purpose: To histometrically compare the osseointegration and crestal bone healing of a novel tapered, self-cutting tissue-level test implant with a standard tissue-level control implant in a submerged healing regimen.
Materials And Methods: In a mandibular minipig model, implants were inserted and evaluated histometrically after a healing period of 3, 6, and 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the evaluation of bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and secondary outcomes were primary stability as per insertion torque and first BIC (fBIC).
