Background: Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland and it has antioxidant properties.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of melatonin on assisted reproductive technologies through a systematic review and a meta-analysis.
Materials And Methods: Search strategies were used in PubMed and in other databases covering the last 15 years.
Article Synopsis
- Fertility treatments using assisted reproductive technology (ART) during the COVID-19 pandemic carry an elevated risk of pregnancy complications, necessitating a review of the associated dangers against a backdrop of a global health crisis.
- A comprehensive literature search from January 2020 to July 2022 examined the interactions between COVID-19 and fertility management, highlighting the immune responses and clotting issues that could intensify risks during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and ART surgeries.
- The review emphasizes the need for strategies to mitigate these risks, focusing on safe ART practices and recommendations to protect pre-symptomatic infertile patients during the pandemic period.
Pre-prosthetic schuchardt osteotomy with sinus floor elevation.

Premature loss of teeth leads to an inevitable egression of opposing teeth. Schuchardt osteotomy is a quick and efficient alternative to create a prosthetic space compatible with prosthetic rehabilitation. During the surgical procedure, it is difficult, if not impossible, to preserve the integrity of the sinus membrane and thus to proceed at the same time with a bone graft in the adjacent sub-sinus area to address a vertical alveolar deficiency.

Introduction: The primary objective of this retrospective study was to determine whether patients treated with clindamycin due to a reported allergy to penicillin have an increased risk of postsurgical infections after sinus lifts and onlay grafts.
Material And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed on patients who underwent bone reconstruction procedures between October 2018 and December 2020. Data from all patients operated at the Pitié Salpêtrière University Hospital for sinus lifts or onlay grafts were collected.
