Introduction: Subperiosteal preparation using a periosteal elevator leads to disturbances of local immunohistochemistry and periosteal histology due to a microtrauma. Usually soft-tissue damage can be considerably reduced by using piezoelectric technology. For this reason, the effects of a novel piezoelectric device on immunohistochemistry and periosteal histology were examined and compared to conventional preparation of the periosteum using a periosteal elevator.

Material And Methods: Lewis rats were randomly assigned to one of five groups (n=50). Subperiosteal preparation was performed using either a piezoelectric device or a periosteal elevator. Immunohistochemical and histological analyses were performed immediately after preparation as well as three and eight days postoperatively. A statistical analysis of the histological colouring was performed offline using analysis of variance (ANOVA) on ranks (p<0.05).

Results: At all times, immunohistochemical and histological analysis demonstrated a significantly more homogenous tissue structure in the group of rats that underwent piezosurgery than in the group of rats that underwent treatment with a periosteal elevator.

Conclusion: The use of a piezoelectric device for subperiosteal preparation is associated with more harmonious immunohistochemical and histological results for the periosteum than the use of a conventional periosteal elevator. As a result, piezoelectric devices can be expected to have a positive effect primarily on soft tissue, in particular of the periosteal as well as on surrounding tissues.

Background: Gingival recession has a multifactorial etiology, involving various predisposing and precipitating factors. Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are often associated with gingival recession and pose challenges due to their complex pathodynamics. There is limited evidence regarding tunnel-based procedures combined with connective tissue grafts (CTGs) for treating recession-associated NCCLs.

[Scurvy-A now forgotten previously widespread disease].

Wien Med Wochenschr

October 2024

Medizinische Universität Wien, Martinstraße 7, 3400, Klosterneuburg, Österreich.

From the sea voyages of the fifteenth century often lasting for years with provisions only of fish, salted meat and biscuits reports came of fatal health alterations of the seamen which were characterized by prostration, loss of teeth and bad breath.Reports on comparable endemic illnesses soon came from the Netherlands, North Germany, the Baltic area, France, Lorraine, Geneva, Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Swabia and Russia: the so-called land scurvy. The first medical specification was found in a letter from 1541 by Johann Echt to colleges in the area of Lower Germany, which was published four times.

The newest technology allows the medical industry to manufacture innovative products such as milled titanium prosthodontic parts in an implant for a screw-retained suprastructure. In the literature, there are some articles on the clinical usage of subperiosteal implants, but none of these publications, either in PubMed or Google Scholar, thoroughly describe the workflow for the design and manufacture of individual implants for maxillofacial surgery with milled threads for a screw-retained prosthodontic bridge. The aim of the article is to present a step-by-step method of producing personalized implants, from the first steps of production to the implantation of the final product.

Modified Dunn Procedure for Open Reduction of Chronic Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis.

JBJS Essent Surg Tech

July 2024

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.

Article Synopsis
  • Abnormal femoral head shape from slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) can lead to hip problems like femoroacetabular impingement and early osteoarthritis, making surgical correction important to restore hip anatomy.
  • The modified Dunn procedure offers a surgical approach that aims to correct the anatomy of the hip without damaging the blood supply to the femoral head, reducing the risk of osteonecrosis.
  • The procedure involves a careful dislocation of the hip and meticulous shaping of bones while maintaining blood vessel integrity, allowing for effective repositioning and fixation of the femoral head.

According to the literature, acute otitis media is complicated by mastoiditis in 0.15-1% of cases. In turn, mastoiditis can be complicated by meningitis, encephalitis, abscess of temporal lobe of brain and cerebellum, epidural and subdural abscesses, facial nerve paresis, labyrinthitis, phlegmon of soft tissues of neck, as well as subperiosteal abscess, which makes 7% in the structure of mastoiditis complications.
