The aim of this study is to compare the histomorphometric data of deproteinized bovine bone (DBB) and a fully synthetic bone substitute, poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid/hydroxyapatite (PLGA/HA) applied for sinus floor augmentation technique. Twelve maxillary atrophic ridges of 8 patients requiring major maxillary sinus floor augmentation were studied; the sites were randomly assigned to the study groups and reexamined at 6 months after grafting using cone beam computed tomography scans and biopsy samples harvested during dental implant placement. Total bone volume, residual graft material volume, and new bone volume were assessed. Measurable biopsies were available from 67% of test sites and 100% of control sites. Poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid/hydroxyapatite grafts showed no trace of graft material, whereas DBB grafts had a mean graft area of 16.60%. Mean percent of newly formed bone tended to be greater for PLGA/HA than for DBB group. Mean total bone volume percent did not differ significantly: PLGA/HA = 44.45% (CI, 16.42-72.48), DBB = 44.11% (CI, 36.61-51.60). Deproteinized bovine bone and PLGA/HA produced similar total bone volumes. Poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid/hydroxyapatite appeared to be completely replaced by newly formed bone, whereas DBB presented significant amounts of residual graft material. Poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid/hydroxyapatite necessitates of more clinical trials to be considered suitable for sinus floor augmentation.

Objective: The aim of this study was to establish a three-dimensional finite element (FE) hydraulic pressure technique model and compare the biomechanical characteristics of the osteotome technique and the hydraulic pressure technique using three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA).
Methods: Three FE models were created: the hydraulic pressure technique (M1), the osteotome technique with a Ø 1.6-mm osteotome (M2), and the osteotome technique with a Ø 3.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and safety of the semi-active robotic system for implant placement in atrophic posterior maxilla.
Methods: Patients underwent robot-assisted implant placement in atrophic posterior maxilla were identified and included. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed before surgery.
Purpose: Carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are abnormal connections between the carotid artery and cavernous sinus, often causing ocular symptoms like chemosis, proptosis, and diplopia. Endovascular embolization is the preferred treatment, typically performed via the transfemoral transvenous route through the inferior petrosal sinus (IPS). However, we present a case and a systematic review of indirect CCF treated through deep orbital puncture of the superior ophthalmic vein (SOV) for embolization.

Transalveolar sinus floor elevation (TSFE) is a surgical technique for the placement of dental implants in patients with reduced height of the maxillary posterior alveolar bone. This study aims to demonstrate the clinical outcomes of TSFE using the minimal invasive sinus elevation (MISE) technique in partially and totally edentulous maxillary patients. This prospective clinical study followed STROBE guidelines.
