Vertebroplasty consists of injection under image guidance of a cement polymer, commonly polymethylmethacrylate, into the vertebral body to improved stability. Vertebroplasty is essentially safety. However whether vertebral compression or (micro)fractures occur during the procedure, the high vascularization and the anatomic network of the paravertebral and extradural venous plexuses, can facilitate migration of cement fragments into the systemic venous circulation. We described the case of cement pulmonary embolism in a 75-year-old-female after vertebloplasty. A chest CT scan showed a multiple and spontaneus hyperdensities suggesting cement pulmonary-emboli. There are different therapeutic approach depending of the clinical severity. For asymptomatic patients clinical surveillance or prophylactic LMWH. Active treatment has been suggested only for symptomatic cases.

Shear bond strength and ARI scores of metal brackets to glazed glass ceramics and zirconia: an in vitro study investigating surface treatment protocols.
BMC Oral Health
December 2024
Faculty of Dentistry, Innovative Dental Materials and Interfaces Research Unit (URB2i), UR 4462, Paris Cité University, 1 rue Maurice Arnoux, Montrouge, 92120, France.
Objective: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores of metal brackets to glazed lithium disilicate reinforced glass-ceramics and zirconia according to various surface treatment protocols.
Methods: A total of 240 lithium disilicate ceramic (LD) and 240 zirconia (Zr) blocks were randomly divided according to sandblasting, hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching, universal primer use, and the adhesive system applied. A maxillary canine metal bracket was bonded to each sample with resin cement (Transbond XT, TXT).
Effect of cementation technique and cement type on the amount of excess cement in implant-supported cement-retained crown restorations: An in vitro study.
J Prosthet Dent
December 2024
Professor, Department of Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey.
Statement Of Problem: Excess cement in implant-supported restorations can lead to peri-implant diseases, and its removal remains a clinical challenge. The optimum method of minimizing excess cement is unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare 3 cementation techniques and 3 cement types and measure excess cement.
A Double-Blind Randomized Crossover Trial Comparing the Esthetic Outcomes Of CAD-CAM Provisional Restorations Fabricated Using CBCT And IOS Acquisition Methods.
J Dent
December 2024
Professor and Clinic director, Clinic of General-, Special Care- and Geriatric Dentistry, Center for Dental Medicine, University of Zurich, Zurich Switzerland. Electronic address:
Objectives: This double-blind randomised crossover trial aimed to compare the aesthetic outcomes of CAD-CAM manufactured provisional restorations created using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scanners (IOS) acquisition methods.
Methods: Twelve participants (mean-age: 38 ± 5 years) requiring full mouth rehabilitation were included in this crossover trial. Two sets of identical CAD-CAM provisional restorations, differing only in the method of data acquisition (A: CBCT, B: IOS), were fabricated.
Cementless fixation in total knee arthroplasty: current evidence and future perspective.
