AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how the size of osteotomy affects postoperative outcomes after TCL-DCR surgery.
- A retrospective analysis divided patients into two groups based on the diameter of the osteotomy: 9 mm (group A) and 14 mm (group B).
- Results showed a higher success rate in group B (81.8%) compared to group A (66.6%), indicating that a larger osteotomy diameter leads to better outcomes.
Article Abstract
Objectives: We want to evaluate the influence of the size of the osteotomy on the postsurgical outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective study was performed in patients who underwent TCL-DCR from January 1, 2008, to March 1, 2019. The patients were divided into two groups: the patients in one group were subjected to LP surgery with an osteotomy diameter equal to 9 mm ± 1 mm (group A), and the patients in the other group were subjected to surgery with an osteotomy diameter equal to 14 mm ± 1 mm (group B).
Results: A total of 159 lacrimal pathways (LPs) were operated on in group A with a success rate (SR) of 66.6%. Thirty-three LPs were operated on in group B with an SR of 81.8%.
Conclusion: An osteotomy diameter equal to 14 mm ± 1 mm achieved better postoperative results than an osteotomy diameter equal to 9 mm ± 1 mm.

Introduction And Importance: Placing dental implants in a narrow mandibular alveolar ridge poses a range of significant challenges. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the combined application of piezoelectric surgery and magnetic mallet for alveolar ridge splitting and bone expansion in dental implant procedures. It aims to highlight the potential benefits of integrating these technologies in mandibular implant sites.

Aim: Despite the high success rate of endodontic microsurgery (EMS), it is difficult to suggest EMS as a general treatment option considering the difficulty of the procedure. A surgical guide has been proposed to overcome this problem. This study aimed to evaluate the stability of the surgical guide of a new design concept, as well as the accuracy of root resection, and to introduce the manufacturing method of the newly designed surgical guide.

Background: Critical-size bone defects (CSBDs) pose significant challenges in clinical orthopaedics and traumatology. Developing reliable preclinical models that accurately simulate human conditions is crucial for translational research. This study addresses the need for a reliable preclinical model by evaluating the design and efficacy of a custom-made 3D-printed intramedullary nail (IMN) specifically for CSBDs in minipigs.

Proximal femoral osteotomy (PFO) is a frequently performed surgical procedure to correct hip deformities in the paediatric population. The optimal size of the blade plate implant in PFO is a critical but underexplored factor influencing biomechanical outcomes. This study introduces a novel approach to refine implant selection by integrating personalized neuromusculoskeletal modelling with finite element analysis.
