Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of two biomaterials—xenografts (deproteinized bovine bone) and nanohydroxyapatite—for sinus floor elevation in patients with vertically deficient posterior maxillary alveolar ridges.
- In the trial involving 24 patients, both biomaterials led to good bone consolidation, but the difference in mean bone height and quality between groups was not statistically significant.
- The researchers concluded that both materials performed similarly in terms of bone regeneration, suggesting the need for larger studies with longer follow-ups to better assess outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a prevalent hip issue in adolescents, where the severity and stability of the condition significantly influence management outcomes and risks, particularly for avascular necrosis (AVN).
- A case study of a 13-year-old boy with acute, unstable high-grade SCFE showed successful treatment through closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, resulting in restored hip function without AVN after 18 months.
- The findings suggest that even after 2 weeks from the initial injury, aggressive management like closed reduction can lead to favorable outcomes, challenging the notion that such procedures should only be performed in exceptional cases.
Vaccine hesitancy can be a challenge for those with autoimmune diseases. This study investigated the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination by patients with autoimmune diseases in Indonesia using the integrated behavioral model (IBM). This cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2021 to February 2022.

Methods: Searches were performed electronically in 4 databases (PubMed, LILACS, Cochrane Library, and grey literature) up to September 2020 and manually to identify studies addressing the subject. Randomized and non-randomized clinical trials were included.
This study was performed to compare the effects on facial nerve (FN) function of the deep supra-temporalis muscle subfascial approach (DSFA) and traditional fascial approach (TFA) for access to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), via qualitative and quantitative evaluations. Thirty patients requiring open TMJ surgery were randomly allocated to one of two groups: group A patients underwent the DSFA approach, while group B patients underwent the TFA approach. The TMJ was accessed via modified endaural incision with temporal extension.
