AI Article Synopsis

  • The study explored the use of dynamic 3D navigated surgery for inserting dental implants in the All-on-4 rehabilitation approach, emphasizing the need for further research.
  • The cohort included 10 patients averaging 59.9 years old, with a high implant survival rate of 95.8% and an average of 0.51 mm of marginal bone resorption after one year.
  • Although a 40% rate of mechanical complications was noted, no biological complications were observed, indicating promising short-term outcomes but highlighting the necessity for more extensive studies on this treatment method.

Article Abstract

: The insertion of dental implants using dynamic 3D navigated surgery while applying immediate function protocols for full-arch rehabilitations warrants further research. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of All-on-4 rehabilitations using 3D Dynamic navigated surgery (X-Guide™). : This study included 10 patients (women: 7; men: 3; average age: 59.9 years) rehabilitated with full-arch prostheses through the All-on-4 concept, with 48 dental implants inserted using navigated surgery. The primary outcome evaluation was prosthetic/implant cumulative survival (CS), estimated using life tables. Secondary outcome evaluations were marginal bone resorption (MBR), biological complications, and mechanical complications. The evaluation parameters were measured between 1 and 3 years. : No patients were lost to follow-up. Two implants (4.2%) were lost in one patient (10%) with smoking habits, resulting in an implant CS rate of 95.8%. The average MBR was 0.51 mm ± 0.62 mm at the 1-year follow-up. The incidence rate of mechanical complications was 40% ( = 4 patients), all occurring in provisional prosthesis. No biological complications were registered. The patients maintained their prostheses in function throughout the follow-up of the study. : Within the limitations of this study and based on the results, it can be concluded that the insertion of dental implants assisted by dynamic navigation for full-arch rehabilitation through the All-on-4 concept may be a valid treatment alternative in the short-term follow-up. However, more studies are necessary to validate this treatment modality.

Background: Pancreatic trauma is a rare solid organ injury. Conservative treatment is often indicated in patients with no pancreatic duct injury, while patients with high-grade pancreatic damage most often require surgical intervention. Laparoscopic central pancreatectomy (LCP) is a parenchyma-sparing approach and can prevent endocrine and exocrine insufficiency after pancreatic resection.

Background: We report a rare case of locally advanced esophageal cancer with a right aortic arch (RAA), successfully treated with neoadjuvant immunotherapy and minimally invasive esophagectomy, guided by three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction.

Case Presentation: A 50-year-old male with stage III esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (cT3N0M0) and RAA underwent four cycles of neoadjuvant immunotherapy with sintilimab, resulting in significant tumor regression. Minimally invasive esophagectomy was performed with the aid of preoperative 3D reconstruction, which was critical in navigating the complex vascular anatomy and ensuring surgical precision.

The widespread adoption of high-resolution computed tomography (CT) screening has led to increased detection of small pulmonary nodules, necessitating accurate localization techniques for surgical resection. This review examines the evolution, efficacy, and safety of various localization methods for small pulmonary nodules. Studies focusing on localization techniques for pulmonary nodules ≤30 mm in diameter were included, with emphasis on technical success rates and complication profiles.
