In thirteen different dental clinics in Singapore, Spain, Czech Republic and Italy, 504 patients were selected, and 483 dental implants were placed in maxillary sites after alveolar socket preservation (ASP) procedures with an autologous demineralized tooth extracted as graft material from an innovative Tooth Transformer device was obtained. All procedures used were reported in n°638 Ethical Committee surgical protocol of University of Chieti and approved. After 4 months, at dental implant placing, bone biopsies were performed to evaluate the histologic outcomes, and 12 months after implant loading, global implant survival rate, failure percentage and peri-implant bone loss were detected.

[Association between arthritis, functional disability and quality of life using a structural equation].
Rev Esp Cir Ortop Traumatol
January 2014
Objectives: To establish a conceptual model that links arthritis, functional disability in activities of daily living, and quality of life (QoL).
Methods: A multicentre, cross-sectional, observation study was performed. The location of the arthritis (presence/absence) was recorded.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at a new surgery method called retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy (RPN) to remove kidney tumors without blocking blood flow. !*
- They treated 19 patients and found that the surgery took an average of 182 minutes, and most people stayed in the hospital for about 4.5 days. !*
- The results were promising, showing fewer complications and less blood loss in later surgeries, so more research is needed to confirm if this method is really effective. !*

Methods: Multicenter, cross-sectional study in adult patients with OA with at least 1 year of disease progression and with at least one prescription of anti-inflammatory drugs within the last year. Sociodemographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics as well as patient-reported outcomes were obtained by phone interview.
