The secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) step restores the continuity of the alveolar bone necessary for dentition. Faced with the complications of autografts, synthetic biomaterials such as Bioglass (BG) 45S5 have been proposed. The objective was to evaluate the success rate of SABG with the addition of BG 45S5 and to highlight the prognostic factors.

- The study examined the relationship between oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and factors like demographics and psychosocial elements in children with rare oral diseases.
- Conducted in French centers for rare diseases, it involved a cohort of 110 patients aged 6 to 17 who completed a comprehensive questionnaire.
- Key findings indicated that girls, those who forgo dental care due to cost, and patients with syndromic diseases or feelings of isolation experienced significantly lower OHRQoL.
Objective: To compare the efficacy and morbidity of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) and flexible ureteroscopy (F-URS) for the management of upper tract urinary stones in children.
Methods: All SWL and F-URS performed in children in a single institution between 2000 and 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. Only procedures performed to treat upper tract urinary stones (upper ureter or kidney) were included in this study.
Goal: To evaluate physician compliance with use of a diagnostic algorithm for appendicitis in children. Our secondary objective was to determine the impact of the algorithm on diagnostic accuracy and morbidity.
Methods: We conducted a clustered randomized trial in eight centers.
Introduction: Firstly reported in the early 1990s for the treatment of upper urinary tract stones in adult patients, flexible ureteroscopy (F-URS) has been used in children during the past 10 years and is now considered as a viable, but still second-line alternative to extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy in these patients (ESWL). The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the acquisition of a F-URS on the management of upper urinary tract stones in children.
Patients And Methods: Data of all ESWL, F-URS and percutaneous nephrolithotomy performed for upper urinary tract stones in children from 0 to 18 years old in a single center from 2000 to 2014 have been collected retrospectively.
