Prediction of the bone volume for sinus augmentation through 3-dimensional analysis.

Background/purpose: No consensus has been established regarding the exact amount of bone grafting in maxillary sinus augmentation. The aim of this study was to estimate the minimum bone volume for sinus augmentation and to investigate the factors that influence the augmentation volume (AV).

Materials And Methods: This study included patients with cone-beam computed tomography scanning.

Comparison of vital sign stability and cost effectiveness between midazolam and dexmedetomidine during third molar extraction under intravenous sedation.

Objectives: To compare the vital sign stability and cost of two commonly used sedatives, midazolam (MDZ) and dexmedetomidine (DEX). Patients and.

Methods: This retrospective study targeted patients who underwent mandibular third molar extractions under intravenous sedation using MDZ or DEX.
