AI Article Synopsis
- Integration of computer-based guided dental surgery phases can enhance oral rehabilitation processes.
- Two new surgical guides made from advanced 3D metal and polymer printing technologies facilitate immediate implant installation and construction of fixed prostheses without the need for surgical flaps.
- These guides were created through virtual planning and advanced manufacturing methods, allowing for the efficient placement of implants and prostheses on the same day for patients with complete tooth loss.
Article Abstract
Integration between the phases of computer-based guided dental implant surgery can be used to optimize oral rehabilitation. Two new surgical guides prepared by using the 3D metal and polymer printing technology are presented for immediate implant loading and definitive fixed prosthesis construction in flapless dental implant surgery. Nine implants and 2 fixed prostheses were installed in 2 completely edentulous adult patients by using a metallopolymer surgical guide with a metal central bar attached to a polymer seal or a metal guide. Virtual planning was used to design the 3D printed surgical guides, which were then constructed by using selective laser sintering (SLM) and selective laser melting (SLS). The 3D printed surgical guides oriented the surgical placement of the implants and were welded to the abutments and attached to the denture framework. The technique allowed implants and prostheses to be installed on the same day.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinicopathologic features of primary fallopian tubal carcinoma (PFTC) and high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) and explore the prognostic factors of these two malignant tumors.
Methods: Fifty-seven patients diagnosed with PFTC from 2006 to 2015 and 60 patients diagnosed with HGSOC from 2014 to 2015 with complete prognostic information were identified at Women's Hospital of Zhejiang University. The clinicopathological and surgical data were collected, and the survival of the patients was followed for 5 years after surgery.

Background: To assess the effectiveness of tumor biomarkers in distinguishing epithelial ovarian tumors (EOTs) and guiding clinical decisions across each Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) MRI risk category, the aim is to prevent unnecessary surgeries for benign lesions, avoid delays in treating malignancies, and benefit individuals requiring fertility preservation or those intolerant to over-extensive surgery.
Methods: A total of 54 benign, 104 borderline, and 203 malignant EOTs (BeEOTs, BEOTs and MEOTs) were enrolled and retrospectively assigned risk scores. The role of tumor biomarkers in diagnosing and managing EOTs within each risk category was evaluated by combining receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves with clinicopathological characteristics.

Thyroid cancer is a common malignancy that requires comprehensive clinical evaluation prior to adequate surgical management. Over the last three decades thyroid surgery has tripled and is considered one of the most commonly performed procedures in general surgery. These procedures are associated with potential postoperative complications with significant deterioration in the patient's quality of life.

Background: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is an aggressive tumor with unclear margins. Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) enables the differentiation of tumor tissue from normal tissue via visible fluorescence. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is widely used in the treatment of non-melanoma skin tumors.
