Purpose: There is a need for more studies evaluating the marginal bone loss (MBL) of rehabilitations in the posterior regions of extremely resorbed maxillae and mandibles supported by short-length dental implants with a high crown/implant ratio (C/I-R). The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the C/I-R in implants on MBL considering dental implants with 4 mm of width and 7 mm of length.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 59 patients (mean age of 52.8 years) rehabilitated with at least one implant 4 mm in width and 7 mm in length, with an anodically oxidized surface and external connection on the premolar or molar positions, supporting a fixed prosthesis, and in function for a period of 36 months. Periapical radiographs at 36 months were used to calculate the C/I-R and MBL. The Spearman correlation coefficient was used to test the correlation between C/I-R and MBL. The level of significance was set at 5%.

Results: One hundred eighteen implants from 59 patients were evaluated. The mean ± SD MBL was 0.67 ± 0.63 mm. The C/I-R mean ± SD was 2.53 ± 0.79 mm. Thirty implants presented a C/I-R ≤ 2, while 88 implants had a C/I-R > 2. A weak nonsignificant inverse correlation (r = -0.081; P = .383, Spearman) was registered between C/I-R and MBL.

Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it is possible to conclude that implant-supported fixed prostheses with C/I-R > 2 do not correlate positively with MBL.

Severe trauma could induce sepsis due to the loss of control of the infection, which may eventually lead to death. Accurate and timely diagnosis of sepsis with severe trauma remains challenging both for clinician and laboratory. Combinations of markers, as opposed to single ones, may improve diagnosis.

Introduction: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a global traumatic event that has profoundly struck individuals' mental health. However, this might potentially promote positive transformation such as posttraumatic growth (PTG). Studies have indicated that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the well-being of resident physicians, but little is known about PTG among this vulnerable population in China.

Amine-Free, Directing-Group-Free and Redox-Neutral α-Alkylation of Saturated Cyclic Ketones.

The activation of the α-C-H bond of ketones typically requires an amine and a directing group to guide the reaction selectivity in amine-catalysis carbonyl chemistry. For an α-C-H bond activation of ketone, directing groups are also required to control the reaction selectivity. Reported herein is the first α-alkylation of cyclic ketones in the absence of an amine catalyst and directing group.
