Background: Implant placement at the time of maxillary molar extraction presents a number of potential benefits to patients. A technique to predictably attain implant placement in ideal positions was reported previously.
Methods: A total of 391 rough-surface implants were placed in 386 patients at the time of maxillary molar extraction. Concomitant regenerative therapy was performed as necessary. Implants were followed for up to 75 months with a mean follow-up of 40.3 months.
Results: A total of 389 of 391 implants were functioning successfully for up to 75 months with a cumulative survival rate of 99.5%. Criteria for determining implant morphology and dimension are presented.
Conclusion: Implant placement at the time of maxillary molar extraction with concomitant regenerative therapy as needed and subsequent restoration is a predictable treatment modality.

Prcis: In the real-world, retrospective, EXPAND study of consecutive adults with glaucoma, ab-externo gel stent implantation effectively lowered intraocular pressure (34%) and the medication burden (61%), with transient/self-resolving hypotony as the most frequent adverse event (28%).
Purpose: To assess effectiveness and safety of ab-externo gel stent (GS) implantation in glaucoma.
Methods: Multicenter, real-world, retrospective study.

Finite element analysis has become indispensable for biomechanical research on clavicle fractures. This review summarized evidence regarding configurations and applications of finite element analysis in clavicle fracture fixation. Seventeen articles involving 22 clavicles were synthesized from CINAHL, Embase, IEEE Xplore, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases.

Purpose: To present a modified evisceration technique with a full-thickness horizontal sclerotomy and assess post-operative motility and long-term outcomes.
Methods: This is a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent evisceration with a single surgeon (TJM). The standard initial steps of evisceration were performed.

Purpose: Few studies have explored the bone response in dental implant sites prepared using a piezoelectric device, indicating moderate effectiveness in enhancing secondary stability and osteogenesis. This study seeks to expand our understanding of the changes in biological, clinical, and radiographic parameters, during the initial phases of osseointegration in sites prepared with piezoelectric surgery.
Materials And Methods: Two implant sites were prepared in the tibia of four minipigs.

Background/purpose: Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury is the most serious complication associated with dental implant surgery, posing difficulties in treatment and potential for permanent disabilities. This study aimed to identify patient-related risk factors for IAN injury during implant placement and to investigate sensory disturbances depending on whether the implant was removed.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-eight patients with implant-related IAN injury were included.
