Background: Simple syndactyly is a common congenital upper extremity difference. Traditional reconstructive approaches utilize skin grafts; however, recent studies suggest skin graftless techniques may improve outcomes. We hypothesized that patients who underwent reconstruction with a skin graftless dorsal metacarpal island VY advancement flap would have fewer postoperative complications compared to those released with a dorsal rectangular flap with skin grafts.

Aim The purpose of this study was to evaluate alveolar height at the antral floor following dental implant placement after an indirect sinus lift using osseodensification (OD) with the HaeNaem bur system. Materials and methods A total of 12 patients seeking implant rehabilitation in the maxillary posterior region were selected for the study. Preoperative cone beam CT (CBCT) was performed to measure the residual crestal bone height (RCBH).

Background: Reconstruction of maxillofacial defects is challenging due to the region's complex anatomy. During the COVID-19 era, many patients lost their maxilla and chewing efficiency as a result of Mucormycosis. In such cases, custom-designed implants offer a graftless solution for seemingly hopeless situations.

A maxillary sinus lift was performed without bone grafting in a 23-year-old female patient who required the placement of a dental implant in the edentulous area of tooth 16. The clinical and tomographic evaluation made it possible to plan and perform the maxillary sinus lift using the transcrestal approach and without the need for bone grafting. The residual ridge of 6mm allowed the placement of a simultaneous dental implant.

Introduction: Achieving watertight dural closure without grafts via the retrosigmoid approach can be challenging, contributing to a significant rate of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. This study describes a dural incision technique for achieving primary dural closure without grafts following the retrosigmoid approach and presents clinical data from the authors' experience.
Methods: Clinical and surgical data of 227 patients who underwent the dural incision technique following the retrosigmoid approach for various pathologies were retrospectively reviewed.
