This clinical report describes the treatment of a patient with insufficient tongue movement due to bilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy. A palatal augmentation prosthesis and a mandibular intraoral prosthesis (lingual augmentation prosthesis) were provided for this patient to address his functional dysphagia problems. These problems included insufficient oral to pharynx bolus transportation and displacement of the tongue to the right posterior. The 2 prostheses improved these 2 problems and also the head extension posture during swallowing. After insertion of the 2 prostheses, the patient could transport the bolus actively from the oral cavity to the pharynx.

Background and objective Alveolar ridge defects in partially edentulous patients present significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment planning. Seibert's classification system provides a structured approach to categorizing these defects based on the buccolingual and apico-coronal dimensions of the ridge. Accurate classification is crucial for determining appropriate treatment strategies for implant placement, fixed prosthesis, or tissue augmentation.

J Contemp Dent Pract

Department of Pediatrics Dentistry and Orthodontics, Faculty Odonto-Stomatology, Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Can Tho City, Vietnam.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a combination of immediate implant placement with maxillary sinus augmentation (MSA) solely using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on guided bone regeneration.
Materials And Methods: An interventional before-after (pre-post) study design was used with 30 dental patients (≥18 years of age; 14 males and 16 females) with initial bone heights ranging between 4 and 6 mm. Following the general check-up and the creation of a study model, the planned implant location demonstrated an external right maxilla diameter of more than 5 mm, thereby validating the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiograph.
Comparison of Long-Term Performance of Porcine versus Pericardial Bioprostheses.
Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
January 2025
Cardiothoracic surgery, CHU de Rennes, Rennes, France.
Background: The long-term comparative results between porcine and pericardial bioprostheses for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is debated. Scarce information exists concerning direct comparative evaluation among contemporary devices. We compared late and very late results in a single center series (N=3,983 cases).
