Cone beam computed tomography findings as prognostic factors for maxillary sinus membrane perforation during maxillary sinus augmentation.

Background: Maxillary Schneiderian membrane (SM) perforation is one of the complications of maxillary sinus (MS) augmentation. The aim of the present study was to analyse cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) findings to identify prognostic factors for SM perforation.

Materials And Methods: 50 CBCT scans were recruit for the analysis, 39 were suitable for analysis and met the inclusion criteria.

Integrative approach for supernumerary teeth: a single-center retrospective analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to provide a comprehensive case analysis from a single center, with the objective of clarifying the optimal timing and recommendations for a preferred treatment strategy customized to the specific presentation of each type of supernumerary tooth identified in the research.

Method And Materials: A retrospective study was conducted on patients who presented with a supernumerary tooth and were treated interdisciplinarily at the clinic.

Results: In total, 55 patients with 81 supernumerary teeth of the permanent dentition were analyzed, 30 males and 25 females.

Seven Days of Voice Rest Post-phonosurgery Is Not Better than 3 days: A Prospective Randomized Short-term Outcome Study.

Objective: The aim of the study is to compare the short-term effect of 7 versus 3 days of voice rest (VR) on objective vocal (acoustic) parameters following phonosurgery.

Methods: A prospective randomized study conducted at a tertiary referral medical center. Patients with vocal fold nodules, polyps, or cysts and scheduled for phonosurgery were recruited from the Voice Clinic.

Subthalamic nucleus physiology is correlated with deep brain stimulation motor and non-motor outcomes.

Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation is commonly indicated for symptomatic relief of idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Despite the known improvement in motor scores, affective, cognitive, voice and speech functions might deteriorate following this procedure. Recent studies have correlated motor outcomes with intraoperative microelectrode recordings.
