Objectives: The objective of this in vitro study was to assess the accuracy of fully guided implant placement following virtual implant planning based on MRI.
Material And Methods: Sixteen human cadaver hemimandibles with single missing teeth (n = 3), partially edentulous (n = 6) and edentulous situations (n = 7) were imaged using MRI. MRI and optical scans obtained with an intraoral scanner, were imported into an implant planning software. Virtual prosthetic and implant planning were performed regarding hard- and soft-tissue anatomy. Drill guides were manufactured, and fully guided implant placement was performed. Buccal and lingual bone and implant nerve distance were measured by three examiners in preoperative MRI and postoperative CBCT. The implant position was assessed using a software for deviation of implant positions displayed in CBCT and optical scans, respectively.
Results: MRI displayed relevant structures for implant planning such as cortical and cancellous bone, inferior alveolar nerve and neighboring teeth. Implant planning, CAD/CAM of drill guides and guided implant placement were performed. Deviations between planned and actual implant positions in postoperative CBCT and optical scans were 1.34 mm (SD 0.84 mm) and 1.03 mm (SD 0.46 mm) at implant shoulder; 1.41 mm (SD 0.88 mm) and 1.28 mm (SD 0.52 mm) at implant apex, and 4.84° (SD 3.18°) and 4.21° (SD 2.01°). Measurements in preoperative MRI and postoperative CBCT confirmed the compliance with minimum distances of implants to anatomical structures.
Conclusions: Relevant anatomical structures for imaging diagnostics in implant dentistry are displayed with MRI. The accuracy of MRI-based fully guided implant placement in vitro is comparable to the workflow using CBCT.

The posterior mandible is the primary area for occlusal function. However, long-term tooth loss in the posterior mandible often leads to rapid absorption of both buccal and lingual trabecular bone plates and subsequent atrophy of the alveolar ridge. This ultimately results in horizontal bone deficiencies that complicate achieving an optimal three-dimensional placement for dental implants.

Background: Right ventricular (RV) pacing exacerbates heart failure and increases cardiac mortality in patients with reduced ejection fraction (EF). However, its impact on left ventricular dysfunction in patients with preserved EF remains inconclusive. This study investigates the relationship between RV pacing, global longitudinal strain (GLS), and EF in patients with preserved EF.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to compare the accuracy of fully guided implant insertion in vitro achieved by two fabrication methods in a cohort of undergraduates. We hypothesized that both methods achieve a comparable accuracy.
Methods: Surface scans and cone beam computed tomography images of 48 mandibular models were matched.
Introduction: Neurotrophic factors are widely known for their protective effect on spiral ganglion neurons (SGN) and the protection of these neurons is of great importance to optimize Cochlear Implants, which directly stimulate SGN in deaf patients. Previous studies have identified Cometin - also known as Meteroin-like - to be neuroprotective and beneficial for metabolic disorders. The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of different concentrations of recombinant human Cometin (hCometin) on SGN in regard to neuroprotection and neurite outgrowth and to evaluate its neurite guidance potential using a neurite outgrowth chamber.
