AI Article Synopsis
- MAGNEZIX® CS is a bioabsorbable compression screw made from a magnesium alloy, primarily used in orthopedic surgeries.
- While there are limited clinical studies on its effectiveness for elective surgeries, it was successfully used in a trauma case involving a bimalleolar fracture.
- The patient experienced uneventful recovery with fracture healing in three months, and the radiolucent area observed around the implant resolved by the 17-month follow-up.
Article Abstract
MAGNEZIX® CS (Syntellix AG, Hanover, Germany) is a bioabsorbable compression screw made of a magnesium alloy (MgYREZr). Currently there are only two clinical studies reporting on a limited number of elective patients who received this screw in a hallux valgus operation. We applied MAGNEZIX® CS for fixation of distal fibular fracture in a trauma patient who had sustained a bimalleolar fracture type AO 44-B2.3. Clinical course was uneventful, fracture healing occurred within three months. Follow-up X-rays showed a radiolucent area around the implant for some months, yet this radiolucent area had disappeared in the 17-months follow-up X-ray.

Long-Term Outcomes of Surgical Decompression in Treating Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst Associated With Compound Odontoma: A 9-Year Follow-Up Case Report and Literature Review.

A calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a cystic lesion originating from odontogenic epithelium, exhibiting ameloblastomatous features and containing focal accumulations of ghost cells. The standard treatment for COC typically involves enucleation followed by surgical curettage. However, if the cyst is large or closely associated with anatomical structures, decompression may be considered as a preliminary step before enucleation.

Purpose: The study was performed to examine the error associated with image superimposition when computed tomography (CT) images of the dental region are substituted with dental scan data, according to the block-out material used in dental impressions.
Materials And Methods: A typodont model was created by bonding orthodontic brackets to teeth on plaster dental stones using melted dental base-plate wax. In the experiment, 2 groups were compared: one using wax and the other using putty as the block-out material to prevent tearing of the impression material during the acquisition of dental impressions.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Izmir Katip Celebi University, Izmir, Türkiye.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the variables affecting the visibility of the submandibular fossa (SF) on panoramic images, including SF depth and types, age, gender, presence or absence of tooth, location of mandibular canal, and alveolar bone thicknesses.
Methods: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and conventional panoramic images of 150 patients were analyzed retrospectively. The visibility of the SF on panoramic images was compared with its depth and adjacent alveolar bone thicknesses on CBCT.

Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the management of Jump space (JS) in immediate implants with and without Demineralised freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) with flapless approach.
Materials And Methods: The present study included 40 sites with immediate implant placement in the maxillary anterior region. Group 1 patients were treated without augmentation while Group 2 patients with DFDBA in the JS.
