Purpose: This in vivo study aims to assess the pink esthetic score in the anterior maxilla after computer-guided immediate implant installation and fully digital immediate temporalization with and without grafting the jumping gap with a mixture of 1:1 autogenous and xenograft particulates.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four patients with non-restorable upper anterior teeth in the aesthetic zone have undergone a traumatic extraction for the non-restorable tooth followed by immediate implant placement using a 3D-printed surgical guide according to prosthetically driven implant placement. The patients were divided into two groups. The study group received the dental implant after grafting the jumping gap with 1:1 autogenous and xenograft particulates, while the control group received the dental implant without grafting the jumping gap. Each patient received a digitally fabricated, immediate, nonfunctional temporary prosthesis. The esthetic outcome was compared between the two groups using the pink esthetic score at implant insertion and after 6 months of follow-up. Statistical comparisons were carried out between the studied groups using the Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: Immediately postoperatively, there was no statistically significant difference between the median PES in the two groups (P-value = 0.746). After six months, the study group showed a statistically significantly higher median PES than the control group (P-value = 0.048).
Conclusions: Grafting the jumping distance in the immediate implant protocol helps achieve a better esthetic outcome.
Clinical Relevance: The use of immediate guided implant placement along with grafting the jumping gap followed by immediate digital temporalization guarantees a better esthetic outcome while preserving time, cost, and the number of clinical visits.
Trial Registration: The study was registered on clinicaltrials.gov with registration number NCT04096209. (19/9/2019).

Objectives: The purposes of this study were to (1) prospectively evaluate clinical and functional outcomes of athletes following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction up to 12 months after surgery, (2) to identify the correlations between functional and subjective tests, and (3) to determine which factors influence patients' capability to resume sports at pre-injury level.
Methods: Patients who underwent ACL reconstruction using doubled autologous hamstring graft were prospectively assessed pre-operatively, 6, and 12 months after surgery using International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Form, Tegner activity level, and ACL-Return to Sport after Injury (ACL-RSI) scale. Jumping ability was instrumentally assessed using a test battery including bipodalic squat jump (SJ), bipodalic countermovement jump (CMJ), monopodalic CMJ, and monopodalic side-hop test.

Graft selection for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) remains controversial. In addition, an increasing number of ACLRs are being performed in an aging population, creating a potential gap in evidence. The goal is to restore functional stability to the knee; minimize the likelihood of graft failure; and provide patient satisfaction, achieved primarily by a patient's ability to return to unrestricted physical activity.

Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the management of Jump space (JS) in immediate implants with and without Demineralised freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) with flapless approach.
Materials And Methods: The present study included 40 sites with immediate implant placement in the maxillary anterior region. Group 1 patients were treated without augmentation while Group 2 patients with DFDBA in the JS.

In March 2024, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) issued an alert in response to a rapid increase in Oropouche fever cases across South America. Brazil has been particularly affected, reporting a novel reassortant lineage of the Oropouche virus (OROV) and expansion to previously non-endemic areas beyond the Amazon Basin. Utilising phylogeographic approaches, we reveal a multi-scale expansion process with both short and long-distance dispersal events, and diffusion velocities in line with human-mediated jumps.
