Objective: To examine 2 rostral maxillary sinus (RMS) trephine sites for safety and efficacy using skulls of horses of varying age.
Study Design: Descriptive study.
Animals: Cadaveric equine skulls (n=40).
Methods: Two RMS trephination sites (rostral, caudal) were made in each skull. Radiographic projections using markers at each site were used to determine if sites were within the RMS and directly overlying a cheek tooth. Sinusotomy in 14 skulls was used to determine correlation between radiographic and anatomic location of trephine sites, and of the rostrolateral aspect of the maxillary septum. Age-related risk of trephine site being directly over a cheek tooth was determined using logistic regression.
Results: Trephine site was within the RMS in 98% of skulls using the rostral portal and 68% using the caudal portal. The rostral site was over a cheek tooth in 18% of skulls compared with 10% using the caudal site. There was a significant negative relationship between the trephine site overlying a tooth and horse age for rostral (P=.02) and caudal (P=.03) sites. The radiographic appearance of the maxillary septum correlated to the rostrolateral portion of the septum in 12 of 14 skulls that had sinusotomy.
Clinical Relevance: The rostral RMS trephine portal is more reliable than the caudal site for entering the RMS. Horses

Objective: This study aimed to investigate that complicated mucoceles of paranasal sinuses and their clinical presentation, complications of relations with size, destructions areas, extension limits in affected patients.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review was performed on patients who were diagnosed and treated as paranasal sinus mucoceles at ENT department from 2002 to 2013 years. Patients' demographic data, mucoceles location, symptoms, surgical approach and complications were evaluated.

Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of ridge augmentation using a customized titanium mesh (CTM) that was preformed by trimming and bending the commercial titanium mesh on a virtually reconstructed 3D acrylic resin model using clinical, radiologic, histologic, and histomorphometric analyses.
Materials And Methods: This study was designed prospectively for patients who required vertical ridge augmentation using a staged approach before implant surgery. After installation of the CTM, grafting was performed using deproteinized porcine bone mineral covered with an absorbable membrane.

This prospective study investigated clinically and radiologically the effectiveness of the use of a combined hard and soft tissue graft retrieved from the maxillary tuberosity and designed for alveolar ridge preservation following tooth extraction. Seven patients scheduled for a single mono-rooted tooth extraction were included in the study. After atraumatic extraction, sockets were filled with a "one-piece" dual tissue graft harvested from the tuberosity using an adjusted trephine.

The application prospects of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) as a minimally invasive spinal surgery method in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation are extensive. This study aims to find the optimal entry angle for the trephine at the L4/5 intervertebral space, which causes less lumbar damage and has greater postoperative stability. To achieve this, we conduct a three-dimensional simulated analysis of the degree of damage caused by targeted puncture-based trephine osteotomy on the lumbar spine.

Article Synopsis
- * The study involved 60 osteotomy site preparations, with equal groups using either the AR device or the conventional method, and both methods were assessed using preoperative and postoperative imaging.
- * Results showed no significant differences in accuracy between the AR technique and the conventional method for coronal, apical, and angular deviations in osteotomy sites.
