Objective: We always confirm the diagnosis of syndesmotic injury with a Hook test for all ankle fractures and fixed if necessary. Then, we noticed a discrepancy between preoperative radiology and the Hook test. Moreover, we want to report the reliability of syndesmotic fixation decisions with Hook test and preoperative radiology.

Materials And Methods: A total of 46 patients (31 women, 15 men) were treated with immediate implant therapy after tooth extraction. For standardization, only the maxillary premolar tooth of each patient was restored, and also, both of the adjacent teeth were present in the dental arch.
Background: There are no major tools that could predict disease severity in COVID-19. The aim of this study is to evaluate if serum galectin-3 levels can identify disease progression in COVID-19.
Methods: Patients that were hospitalized due to COVID-19 between March and June 2020 were included in this cross-sectional prospective study.
Statement Of Problem: Whether preparation of an implant abutment decreases the stability of the abutment screw joint is unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of the abutment preparation in laboratory conditions on the reverse torque value (RTV) of the abutment screw.
Material And Methods: Sixty implants, implant analogs, and abutments obtained from 2 different manufacturers were used in the present study and divided into 2 groups (groups B and N) according to the manufacturer.
