Closed sinus lift and fixed prostheses versus implant-assisted overdentures in management of atrophied distal extension maxillary ridges: A one-year randomized clinical trial.

Statement Of Problem: Rehabilitation of elderly or medically compromised patients with an atrophied unilateral posterior maxillary ridge by an implant-supported prosthesis may be complicated by maxillary sinus pneumatization with insufficient bone for implant placement.

Purpose: This short-term clinical trial assessed clinical results of closed sinus lift and fixed prosthesis versus implant-assisted overdentures in the management of participants with atrophied distal extension maxillary ridges.

Material And Methods: Forty participants with unilateral atrophying distal extension maxillary ridges were randomly assigned into 2 groups.

Sustained Release In Situ Thermogelling Hydrogel of Cerebrolysin for Treatment of Facial Nerve Axotomy in Rats.

Purpose: The most essential principle in managing facial nerve (FN) injury is proper diagnosis and early treatment. This study evaluated local application of different concentrations and injection intervals of Cerebrolysin hydrogel (CBLH) for facial nerve axotomy (FNA) treatment. We hypothesized that local application of CBLH may provide a sustained release of Cerebrolysin and enhance neural regeneration.

HAS Carnoy's solution a role in the management of recurrent peripheral giant cell granuloma?

Objective: this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of local application of Carnoy's solution following the surgical excision of recurrent PGCG.

Patients And Methods: 40 patients who sought treatment for recurrent PGCG were included in this study. According to the type of treatment the patients were classified randomly into two equal groups.

Assessment of articular disc displacement of temporomandibular joint with ultrasound.

Purpose: To assess pattern of articular disc displacement in patients with internal derangement (ID) of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with ultrasound.

Materials And Methods: Prospective study was conducted upon 40 TMJ of 20 patients (3 male, 17 female with mean age of 26.1 years) with ID of TMJ.
