What Is the Most Effective Rehabilitation Method for Posterior Maxillas With 4 to 8 mm of Residual Alveolar Bone Height Below the Maxillary Sinus With Implant-Supported Prostheses? A Frequentist Network Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: The most effective rehabilitation method for patients with edentulous posterior maxillas with an intermediate (4 to 8 mm) residual bone height (RBH) below the maxillary sinus is unclear. Evidence derived from conventional meta-analysis is limited because of the lack of head-to-head studies. This network meta-analysis (NMA) was performed to identify the most effective method to treat patients with intermediate posterior RBH.

What surgical treatment has the lowest recurrence rate following the management of keratocystic odontogenic tumor?: A large systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Among the different surgical treatments for keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KOTs), there is no single method associated with a zero recurrence rate (RR). Thus, this study aimed to seek the best surgical treatment with the least RR using a weighted event rated meta-analysis.

Materials And Methods: To address our study purpose, a systematic review and meta-analysis based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline was performed.
