Context: The study aims to answer the following question: Among the patients who received a dental implant, is there any difference in marginal bone loss (MBL) between sandblasted and acid-etched (SLA) and resorbable blast media (RBM) implants?
Aims: The study aimed to evaluate marginal bone loss in SLA and RBM implants one year after loading.
Settings And Design: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Methods And Material: In this prospective cohort study with a pre-protocol population, subjects were assigned into two groups: Subjects received SLA implants in group 1 and RBM in group 2.
It was the aim of this prospective cohort study to assess the various anatomical and other patient-related factors that increase membrane perforation risk. Patients underwent cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) before surgery. The presence of septa, presence of mucous retention cyst, lateral wall thickness, membrane thickness, and residual bone height were predictive factors.

Materials And Methods: This randomized clinical trial, with a split-mouth design, involved 25 patients with similar bilateral impaction of their mandibular third molars. The same surgeon performed surgical procedures, including a triangular flap and osteotomy.
Purpose: The voice can change after upper airway manipulation. The present study evaluated voice change after open rhinoplasty.
Materials And Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on patients undergoing open rhinoplasty.
