Traumatic injuries to the anterior maxilla usually lead to loss of teeth by means of avulsion or extraction due to fracture. Rehabilitation of such a clinical scenario is complex as it involves various anatomic and esthetic challenges. Single-piece basal implants have been widely used in the rehabilitation of resorbed ridges because they gain adequate anchorage from the basal cortical bone, allowing immediate temporization or loading. However, the use of basal implants in the anterior esthetic zone is not much documented. This case report with a five-year follow-up period describes the rehabilitation of lost teeth in the anterior esthetic zone of the anterior maxilla caused due to trauma following a train accident using single-piece axial basal implants with immediate temporization.

Purpose: The basal bone of the anterior maxilla plays a crucial role in maintaining primary stability of immediate implants. However, no consensus exists on the relationship between basal bone width and immediate implant success, unlike for basal bone length. This study presents a clinical scheme to predict the primary stability of immediate implants using the basal bone width.

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fibrosing interstitial pneumonia with restrictive ventilation. Recently, the structural and functional defects of small airways have received attention in the early pathogenesis of IPF. This study aimed to elucidate the characteristics of small airway epithelial dysfunction in patients with IPF and explore novel therapeutic interventions to impede IPF progression by targeting the dysfunctional small airways.

Objectives: This study examined the relationships between electrophysiological measures of the electrically evoked auditory brainstem response (EABR) with speech perception measured in quiet after cochlear implantation (CI) to identify the ability of EABR to predict postoperative CI outcomes.
Methods: Thirty-four patients with congenital prelingual hearing loss, implanted with the same manufacturer's CI, were recruited. In each participant, the EABR was evoked at apical, middle, and basal electrode locations.
Objective To develop an algorithm, based on the voltage matrix, for detecting regular cochlear implant (CI) electrode position during the implantation procedure, tip fold-over or basal kinking for lateral-wall electrodes. The availability of an algorithm would be valuable in clinical routine, as incorrect positioning of the electrode array can potentially be recognized intraoperatively. Design In this retrospective study intraoperative voltage matrix and postoperative digital volume tomography of 525 CI recipients were analyzed.

Background: We evaluated the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) computed tomography (CT)-like sequences compared to normal-resolution CT (NR-CT) and super-high-resolution CT (SHR-CT) for planning of cochlear implantation.
Methods: Six cadaveric temporal bone specimens were used. 3-T MRI scans were performed using radial volumetric interpolated breath-hold (STARVIBE), pointwise-encoding time reduction with radial acquisition (PETRA), and ultrashort time of echo (UTE) sequences.
