Implant dentistry has been evolving with various new technologies, materials and techniques of placement. Conventionally, determination of implant position, size and placement depend on pre-surgical diagnostic imaging, which is limited to two-dimensional radiographs and on the guiding acrylic stent which will be usually prepared over the duplicated casts. Guided implant surgery using cone beam computed tomography, virtual treatment planning software and stereolithographic surgical templates has undoubtedly been a major step toward achieving optimal 3-D implant positioning with respect to both anatomical and prosthetic parameters. This article discusses about the indications, advantages and the concept of guided implant surgery in the successful outcome of the implant placement.

Purpose: This study assessed the impact of the buccal bone on hard and soft tissues in submerged and non-submerged immediate implants using a minipig model.

Methods: Sixty-five titanium implants (Camlog Progressive Line) were placed in four minipigs immediately after tooth extraction. All non-submerged (NSM) implants received a mechanically induced buccal bone defect (NSM-BD), whereas the submerged group (SM) was classified as defective (SM-BD) and intact (SM-BI).

Department of ENT and Head and Neck Surgery, Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, National Clinical Research Center for Child Health, Hangzhou, China.

Objective: To evaluate device survival and identify risk factors for failure in pediatric cochlear implant (CI) surgery to guide strategies for minimizing failure rates and improving survival outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on pediatric patients who underwent CI surgery at the Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, from September 2008 to September 2023. Device survival was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method while independent factors influencing device survival were analyzed using the log-rank test and Cox regression model.

Optimized gene-enhanced ERA improves in vitro fertilization outcomes in patients with repeated implantation failure: A meta-analysis.

Medicine (Baltimore)

March 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Jiaxing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital, College of Medicine, Jiaxing University, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, China.

Background: Assisted reproductive technology still presents a significant challenge when it comes to repeated implantation failure (RIF). To address this issue, personalized embryo transfer (pET) has been suggested as a potential solution. pET involves guiding the embryo transfer process based on an analysis of endometrial receptivity, known as endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA).

Background: Computer-assisted surgery has transformed the approach to jaw resection and reconstruction in recent years. However, the extensive time and technical expertise needed for the planning and creation of patient-specific implants and guides have posed significant challenges for many surgeons in the field. This study introduces a novel algorithm designed to streamline the traditionally intricate and time-consuming Computer-Aided Design (CAD) process for developing patient-specific implants (PSIs).
