The present study describes an innovative procedure for resolving implant-prosthetic cases in patients with edentulous special needs. In 2017 a 56-year-old female patient came to the Department of Dentistry of Vita-Salute San Raffaele Hospital, Milan, Italy, requiring implant-prosthetic rehabilitation of the dental arches given the difficulty in wearing removable prostheses. The first level radiological examinations were evaluated, two technical photographs were taken with specific reference, the 2D Digital Smile Design (Smile Design) was then carried out, the provisional prosthesis was performed and the CBCT requested with repere and provisional prostheses to realize the computerized implant project and an atraumatic flapless guided surgery. Professional oral hygiene sessions were performed quarterly, and the 3-year follow-up revealed no complications affecting the prosthetic or implant component. We can therefore conclude that the proposed method, exploiting digital technologies and flows and minimally invasive flapless surgical methods, can be considered elective in the treatment of patients with special needs.

Objective: Investigation of the mechanical properties of occlusal veneers made from zirconia with varying translucency, bonded to different tooth substrates.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-four extracted molars were divided into two groups: preparation within enamel (E) or extending into dentin (D). Veneers were milled from four zirconia ceramics (n = 8): 5Y-TZP (HT), a multilayer of 5 and 3Y-TZP (GT), 3Y-TZP (LT), and 4Y-TZP (MT).

Background: Infant alertness and neurologic changes can reflect life-threatening pathology but are assessed by physical exam, which can be intermittent and subjective. Reliable, continuous methods are needed. We hypothesized that our computer vision method to track movement, pose artificial intelligence (AI), could predict neurologic changes in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is a minimally invasive surgical approach. Initially utilized for low-risk procedures, such as the resection of benign lesions, now LLR has evolved to include more complex operations such as metastatic lesions. We present in this article two cases with liver metastasis who underwent a successful two-stage total LLR: a 57-year-old man diagnosed with sigmoid cancer and liver metastasis and a 36-year-old man diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor and liver metastasis.

Distal fibula fractures involving the ankle are one of the most common fractures, often requiring open reduction and internal fixation with plates and screws. The increased incidence of potential wound complications arising from open reduction methods led to a rejuvenated interest in the application of minimally invasive methods like intramedullary nailing of the fibula in the management of ankle fractures and isolated distal fibular fractures. A literature search was performed using Medline, Cochrane, and Embase from 1993 to 2023.

Objective: The optimal timing of bypass surgery for patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) or moyamoya syndrome (MMS) following an acute stroke episode remains unclear, mainly owing to the risk of postoperative complications. In this study, we aim to validate the safety and efficacy of early intervention using multiple burr hole (MBH) and erythropoietin (EPO) therapy, thereby refining the management strategy for patients with acute stroke episode of MMD or MMS.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 70 patients with MMD or MMS who underwent MBH and EPO therapy.
