Assessing the Accuracy of Cone-Beam Computerized Tomography in Measuring Thinning Oral and Buccal Bone.

The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy and reliability of cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) in measuring thinning bone surrounding dental implants. Three implants were inserted into the mandible of a domestic pig at 6 different bone thicknesses on the vestibular and the lingual sides, and measurements were recorded using CBCT. The results were obtained, analyzed, and compared with areas without implants.

[Surgery on virtual model and 3-dimensional printing of a surgical wafer for the correction of a severe mandibular asymmetry].

Correction of a severe facial asymmetry presents a challenge due to the geometric complexity of the dentition, the bony structures and the soft tissues. In most asymmetric cases two-jaw surgery is recommended. Manual model surgery is an essential part of treatment planning but it can be complicated, time-consuming and may contain potential errors.

[Knowledge of the management of dental trauma in southern Hungary].

The aim of the study was to evaluate the knowledge of dental trauma management in the southern part of Hungary among parents, teachers, medical doctors and dentists. A cross-sectional study was performed among the mentioned groups, with a structured questionnaire. The participants consisted of 275 people, most of them were parents (185), the other groups were smaller (30-30).

Correction of a severe facial asymmetry with computerized planning and with the use of a rapid prototyped surgical template: a case report/technique article.

Management of significant facial asymmetry presents a challenge due to the geometric complexity of the bony and other facial structures. Manual model surgery is an essential part of treatment planning but it can be complicated, time-consuming and may contain potential errors. Computer-aided surgery has revolutionized the correction of maxillofacial deformities.

Neglected Basal cell carcinomas in the 21st century.

Although tumors on the surface of the skin are considered to be easily recognizable, neglected advanced skin neoplasms are encountered even in the 21st century. There can be numerous causes of the delay in the diagnosis: fear of the diagnosis and the treatment, becoming accustomed to a slowly growing tumor, old age, a low social milieu, and an inadequate hygienic culture are among the factors leading some people not to seek medical advice. The treatment of such advanced neoplasms is usually challenging.
