Purpose: This study aimed to assess the use of bone augmentation materials in Finland from 1994 to 2012 by assessing removal rates of implants placed in combination with autologous bone, xenogeneic grafts, and synthetic alloplastic materials.
Materials And Methods: The National Institute for Health and Welfare in Finland granted permission to access raw data of the Finnish Dental Implant Register for implant augmentation materials and removal rates of implants placed in augmented sites from April 1994 to April 2012.
Results: A total of 198,538 implants were placed in Finland between 1994 and 2012 in 110,543 operations. A total of 3318 (1.7%) of the placed implants were removed during the observation period. Augmentations were performed on 20,812 (18.8%) operations during 1994-2012. The removal rates of implants placed at sites augmented with autologous bone were 2.31%, xenogeneic materials 0.91%, and synthetic alloplastic materials 2.80%. The removal rate was 1.87% when no augmentation material was used.
Conclusions: The placement of dental implants in conjunction with bone augmentation materials is predictable with a low complication rate.

Introduction: Surgeons prioritize scar appearance after surgery, making suture choice crucial. Traditionally, non-absorbable sutures were standard but require removal, causing patient discomfort and extra visits. Absorbable sutures, while offering convenience, might raise concerns about scar quality.

In the process of partial nitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) for nitrogen removal, the process offers simple metabolic pathways, low operating costs, and high nitrogenous loading rates. However, since the partial nitrification-anammox (PN-anammox) process combines partial nitrification and anammox reactions within the same reactor, strict control of dissolved oxygen (DO) is essential. Additionally, assessing treatment performance through chemical measurement involves time lag, making it challenging to recover the biological process when issue arise, especially in the PN-anammox process, where strict DO control and the sensitivity of anammox bacteria to conditions and substrates demand timely intervention.

Basic dyes are highly toxic and have adverse effects on humans such as accelerated heart rate, shock, cyanosis, and tissue necrosis upon ingestion or skin contact. Efficient removal of basic dye pollutants from wastewater is therefore essential for the protection of the environment and human health. Biomolecules exhibit excellent dye removal performance in terms of removal capacity, selectivity, and rate.

Riverine NO and N fluxes, key components of the global nitrogen budget, are known to be influenced by river size (often represented by average river width), yet the specific mechanisms behind these effects remain unclear. This study examined how environmental and microbial factors influenced sediment NO and N fluxes across rivers with varying widths (2.8 to 2,000 m) in China.
