Evaluation of buccal bone resorption in immediate implant placement in thin versus thick buccal bone plates: An 18-month follow-up prospective cohort study.

Objectives: The current guidelines recommend that immediate implants be placed in patients with thick (>1 mm) buccal bone due to the inevitable tissue remodeling that follows tooth extraction. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of buccal bone thickness on bone resorption in immediate implant placement and compare two measuring techniques of the aforementioned resorption.

Materials: The present study was designed as a prospective nonrandomized, controlled clinical trial.

Jumping gap in immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone: A virtual implant planning using cone-beam computed tomography.

Purpose: A jumping gap (JG) refers to the implant's future buccal wall; this study aims to estimate the jumping gap dimension in relation to virtual implant placement and subsequently link the implant diameter and implant position with the anatomical site.

Methods: This observational study was conducted to analyze the maxillary teeth in the esthetic zone from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans using OnDemand software. The horizontal jumping gap dimension of each tooth was assessed by subtracting the calculated virtual implant diameter from the socket dimensions.

Esthetics and bone changes of immediate implants with or without vascularized interpositional periosteal connective tissue grafting: A 2-year randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: To compare esthetics at single immediately placed implants with and without soft tissue augmentation.

Materials And Methods: Patients with non-restorable maxillary teeth in the esthetic zone were assigned into 2 groups: immediately placed implants with simultaneous vascularized interpositional periosteal connective tissue grafting (VIP-CTG) or non-grafted immediately placed implants (NG). The outcomes included: pink esthetic score (PES), gingival thickness, keratinized tissue width, buccal bone changes, marginal bone loss, pain, and satisfaction.

Stability and anatomical parameters of irradiated potato cultivars under drought stress.

This study was carried out in Desert Research Center and Faculty of Agriculture, Zagazig University, Egypt, under North Sinai conditions during three growing seasons, , summer 2018, fall 2018/2019 and summer 2019 to assess the effect of radiation mutants on leaf histological features and genetic stability of the productivity of some potato cultivars under drought stress conditions. Results reveal that the genotypes can be statistically classified based on regression coefficient (bi), deviation from regression (Sdi) to 4 groups (with low in Sdi are considered in all groups) as: (i) Genotype with elevated average, bi = 1, it is considered as stable genotype where Cara cultivar (both generations) was included. (ii) Genotype with elevated average, bi > 1 as genotype with average stability where spunta cultivar was involved.

Performance of some elite potato cultivars under abiotic stress at North Sinai.

The current experiment was adopted during the summer 2018, fall 2018/2019 and summer 2019 respectively at the Experimental Farm of Baloza station, Desert Research Center. North Sinai Governorate, Egypt to study the effect of different doses of irradiation (0, 20, 30 and 40 Gy), three irrigation levels (100, 80 and 60% field capacity on growth, yield and its quality of some potato cultivars (Spunta, Cara, Caruso and Hermes). Treated Spunta cultivar pre planting with 20 (Gy) and irrigated with 80% field capacity was the best treatment for increasing number of aerial stem/plants, leaf area, total chlorophyll in leaves, average tuber weight, and total yield/fed.
