Article Synopsis
- Peri-implantitis is a significant issue affecting the success of dental implants, and effective surface decontamination is crucial for treatment success.
- This study assessed the stability of a new type of dental implant called the separable dental implant (SDI) compared to the conventional non-separable dental implant (NDI) using an animal model of rabbits.
- Findings revealed that SDI showed equal or superior osseointegration and stability compared to NDI, making it a promising option for easier management of peri-implantitis in future clinical applications.

December 2018
Background: Cross-facial nerve graft is considered the treatment of choice for facial reanimation in patients with unilateral facial palsy caused by central facial nerve damage. In most cases, a traditional parotidectomy skin incision is used to locate the buccal and zygomatic branches of the facial nerve.
Methods: In this study, cross-facial nerve graft with the sural nerve was planned for three patients with facial palsy through an intraoral approach.
