Purpose: Zygomatic implants are considered one of the last options for the rehabilitation of severe maxillary atrophy when standard implants cannot be placed. They offer several advantages but can also present complications. This study aimed to investigate the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of zygomatic implant placement.

- The study investigated the impact of standing electric scooters on maxillofacial injuries in Italy, collecting data from 10 maxillofacial surgery departments over a three-year period from January 2020 to December 2023.
- A total of 79 patients were analyzed, with an average age of 31; notable findings included that 19% had elevated blood alcohol levels and only one patient wore a helmet during the accident.
- The most common injuries were fractures in the middle third of the face, particularly the orbito-malar-zygomatic complex and multifocal mandibular fractures, highlighting the complex nature of injuries and high likelihood of post-surgical complications.
Orofacial trauma (OFT) occurs frequently in children and requires thorough evaluation not only by paediatric dentists but also by all specialists involved in emergency services, particularly in cases involving children under 3 years of age, given their inability to directly participate in clinical-anamnestic evaluations. Addressing early childhood orofacial trauma resulting from maltreatment, this study explores the key role played by various healthcare professionals, including paediatric dentists, general dentists, maxillofacial surgeons, dental hygienists, and paediatricians, in the optimal management of these cases. In the event of trauma due to suspected or confirmed mistreatment, it is essential that all healthcare workers involved have precise knowledge of the appropriate course of action from both a clinical and legal point of view, guaranteeing maximum protection for the young patient.

- * Out of 3868 patients, a significant percentage were classified as overweight (34.5%) or obese (19.6%), with the majority diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma (93.6%).
- * Results indicate that overweight and obese patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma have a higher likelihood of AHS, bilateral and multifocal tumours, and larger metastatic nodules; BMI is an independent risk factor regardless of gender, especially in younger patients.
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of a proposed duplication technique in terms of one- and three-dimensional discrepancies between an original abutment and polyurethane duplicates obtained through a conventional workflow in single-implant rehabilitation.
Materials And Methods: A titanium, shoulderless abutment was chosen for a single-implant cemented rehabilitation. The master cast was made using a plastic-based die system, and the implant portion was separated.
