Requirement of Osteoplasty in Dental Implant Surgery-A Retrospective Analysis.

Osteoplasty is a surgical procedure for reshaping or recontouring bone. As dental implants are the most commonly preferred treatment for prosthetic rehabilitation, adequate bone height and width are important prerequisites for a successful implant. There is continuous resorption of the alveolar crestal region after extraction of the tooth, which may form sharp edges or sharp bony margins.

Independent Loss of Methylthioadenosine Phosphorylase (MTAP) in Primary Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma.

Methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) and the tumor suppressor genes CDKN2A-CDKN2B are frequently deleted in malignancies. The specific role of MTAP in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma subgroups, mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS), is unknown. In 213 skin samples from patients with MF/SS, MTAP copy number loss (34%) was more frequent than CDKN2A (12%) in all cutaneous T-cell lymphoma stages using quantitative reverse transcription PCR.
