Purpose: We aimed to compare the surgical outcome between total arch replacement with coronary bypass surgery and that without.
Methods: Between 2008 and 2016, 157 consecutive patients underwent total arch replacement with antegrade cerebral perfusion and moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest using the proximal first approach. They were divided into two groups: total arch replacement with coronary bypass surgery (group 1, = 38) and that without (group 2, = 119).
Results: Of the 38 patients in group 1, 37 (97%) were asymptomatic. The left internal thoracic artery and saphenous vein were used in one (2.6%) and 38 (100%) patients, respectively. The mean number of coronary anastomoses was 1.5 ± 1.0. In-hospital mortality rate was 3.8%. Cardiopulmonary bypass time and operation time in group 1 were significantly longer than those in group 2 (336 ± 52 min vs. 276 ± 38 min, < 0.0001 and 702 ± 122 min vs. 619 ± 94 min, < 0.0001, respectively). No differences in in-hospital mortality and perioperative myocardial infarction were found between the groups (5.3% vs. 3.4%, = 0.633 and 0% vs. 1.7%, = 1.000, respectively). In the multivariate analysis, age (odds ratio, 1.208; 95% confidence interval, 1.041-1.497; = 0.008) and cardiopulmonary bypass time (odds ratio, 1.019; 95% confidence interval, 1.001-1.041; = 0.041) were significant determinants of in-hospital mortality.
Conclusions: Although prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time was a significant determinant of in-hospital mortality, total arch replacement with coronary bypass surgery could be safely performed with favorable outcomes.

Aims And Background: The study of the morphology of soft tissues as well as hard tissues of the orofacial region holds prime importance. A very less information is known about the lips (soft tissues) and maxillo-mandibular arches (hard tissue structures) in primary dentition. Henceforth, there is a need to classify, find the prevalence and correlation of various lip shapes, and arch forms in primary dentition.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the hybrid technique yields superior outcomes in comparison with the total arch replacement combined with frozen elephant trunk (TAR + FET) for acute aortic dissection (AAD) involving the aortic arch.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study using propensity-score matching included patients with AAD involving the aortic arch admitted to Nanjing First Hospital and Shanghai General Hospital from January 2015 to June 2020. The in-hospital and mid-term outcomes were compared between patients who received hybrid treatment (n = 136) and those who received TAR + FET (n = 415).

Objective: Evaluation of the accuracy of direct digitization of maxillary scans depending on the scanning strategy.
Materials And Methods: A maxillary model with a metal bar as a reference structure fixed between the second molars was digitized using the CEREC Primescan AC scanner (N = 225 scans). Nine scanning strategies were selected (n = 25 scans per strategy), differing in scan area segmentation (F = full jaw, H = half jaw, S = sextant) and scan movement pattern (L = linear, Z = zig-zag, C = combined).

Statement Of Problem: Stereophotogrammetry has been proposed as an alternative to intraoral scanners for recording the location of multiple dental implants. Most studies evaluating its accuracy have been in vitro, and clinical studies are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the precision of a stereophotogrammetry system for complete arch prostheses supported by 6 implants.

Objective: The study assessed the prevalence and clinical implications of Epstein Barr Virus (EBV)-positive but Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-negative oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in a tertiary care hospital setting. The overall goal was to elucidate the potential impact of EBV on OSCC disease progression and prognosis.
Design: A total of 134 surgically resected and histopathologically confirmed OSCC tumor biopsies were collected from a tertiary care hospital.
