Patient-reported outcomes and complication rates after lateral maxillary sinus floor elevation: a prospective study.

Objectives: Oral surgery morbidity is highly variable based on patients' characteristics and kind of surgical intervention. However, poor data are available in the literature regarding patient outcomes after oral surgery. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate patient-reported outcome and complication rates after maxillary sinus floor elevation.

Clinical and volumetric outcomes after vertical ridge augmentation using computer-aided-design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) customized titanium meshes: a pilot study.

Background: One of the most recent innovations in bone augmentation surgery is represented by computer-aided-design/computer-aided-manufacturing (CAD/CAM) customized titanium meshes, which can be used to restore vertical bone defects before implant-prosthetic rehabilitations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness/reliability of this technique in a consecutive series of cases.

Methods: Ten patients in need of bone augmentation before implant therapy were treated using CAD/CAM customized titanium meshes.

Translucent fiber post cementation using light- and dual-curing adhesive techniques and a self-adhesive material: push-out test.

Objectives: To compare, by means of the push-out test, the interfacial strength of two dual resin cements and one light-curing cement when used in translucent fiber post cementation.

Methods: Thirty-nine, endodontically treated, single canal, extracted human bicuspids were selected. Translucent fiber posts (RelyX Fiber Post) were luted into the root canal using three resinous luting systems (n=13).
