A Less-Invasive Window Design for Lateral Wall Maxillary Sinus Augmentation for Single Implants.

Maxillary sinus window design is an important factor in sinus augmentation procedures, playing a key role in managing maxillary sinus elevation complications, avoiding the sinus septum, and providing lateral support for the graft material. A less-invasive window design in comparison to conventional maxillary sinus windows was introduced with an "I"-shaped window for single implant placement. However, drawbacks of this window design have included limited instrument accessibility to the anterior sinus and incomplete membrane elevation.

DIET, BODY MASS INDEX AND DENTAL CARIES AMONG THAI CHILDREN AGED 3 TO 5 YEARS.

Early childhood caries (ECC) can cause pain and interfere with healthy nutrition affecting a child growth. The aim of this study was to determine if there is an association between dental caries and body mass index (BMI) among Thai children aged 3 to 5 years. We randomly selected 100 students attending Suan Missakawan School, Bangkok, Thailand.
