Background: There has been an increase in the awareness of dental implant as a replacement option for missing teeth and this has consequently led to an increased demand for dental implant.
Aim & Objectives: To determine the distribution and pattern of implant placement in a tertiary hospital in a developing country.
Materials & Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at the University College Hospital to assess the treatment outcome of all the patients who had had osseointegrated root form endosseous dental implants over a period of five years. The data obtained included age, gender, socioeconomic status (SES), medical history, reason for implant placement, number of implants per patient, distribution of missing teeth, complications and treatment outcome. The data were analyzed for percentages, means, SD and presented in tables and figures.
Results: Forty two implants (40 conventional & 2 immediate) were placed in the 23 patients (M-15, F=8).There were 15(65.2%) males and 8(34.8%) females. Pre-implant placement ridge augmentation was done in 3(7.1%) patients while 9 (39.1%) patients had augmentation during implant placement surgery. Left maxillary central incisor was the most commonly replaced tooth in 31% followed by the right maxillary central incisor in 19%. The success rates in the study at 1 year and 5 years were 97.4% and 95.2% respectively.
Conclusion: A high success rate (95.2%) of implant therapy at 5 years recorded in this study compared favorably with what is obtainable in many other countries of the world.

Background: To improve the success rate of mini-implants, some surgical guides have been developed through digital technologies to achieve three-dimensional (3D) guided mini-implants insertion. However, there is no a surgical guide which can be applied for the insertion of infrazygomatic mini-implant. In this study, we introduced a two-trajectories surgical guide and investigated the success rate of infrazygomatic mini-implants under the guidance of the template.

To assess the efficacy of using a nylon suture as a stent in the PreserFlo MicroShunt (PMS) lumen to prevent postoperative hypotony, 59 eyes that underwent PMS implantation with follow-up for > 6 months were analyzed. Patients were divided into no intrastenting (NST) and intrastenting (ST) groups, with the ST group subdivided into 9 - 0 nylon suture fully placed (9 F), 9 - 0 nylon suture placement in only half of the lumen (9 H), 10 - 0 nylon suture fully placed (10 F), and 10 - 0 nylon suture placement in only half of the lumen (10 H). The distribution was as follows: 23 eyes in the NST group, 10 in the 9 F group, 9 in the 9 H group, 11 in the 10 F group, and 6 in the 10 H group.

For individuals at high risk of developing breast cancer, interventions to mitigate this risk include surgical removal of their breasts and ovaries or five years treatment with the anti-estrogen tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors. We hypothesized that a silicone based anti-estrogen-eluting implant placed within the breast would provide the risk reduction benefit of hormonal therapy, but without the adverse effects that limit compliance. To this end, we demonstrate that when placed adjacent to mammary tissue in the 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced rat breast cancer model a fulvestrant-eluting implant delays breast cancer with minimal systemic exposure.

Antegonial notching can occur after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) and may lead to unpleasant aesthetic outcomes in both young and older patients. This clinical study presents a new concept to potentially overcome this problem and describes the workflow. Beta-tricalcium phosphate patient-specific gap implants (β-TCP gap-PSIs) are biocompatible and resorbable bone grafts that are placed in the space of the osteotomy gap during orthognathic procedures; they are virtually planned and printed in 3D.

Objective: To explore effectiveness of TiRobot-assisted screw implantation in the treatment of coracoid process fractures of the scapula.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data from 24 patients with coracoid process fractures of the scapula admitted between September 2019 and January 2024 and met selection criteria. Among them, 12 patients underwent TiRobot-assisted screw implantation (robot group) and 12 underwent manual screw implantation (control group) during internal fixation.
