Immediate implant placement in esthetic area is a challenging surgical procedure. In the anterior maxilla, the esthetic outcome and the tissues stability over time is highly emphasized. A thorough preoperative analysis of the local site anatomy is essential to choose the most suitable surgical and prosthetic protocol. Due to the heterogenous data from the literature, a diagnostic algorithm was developed to assist the clinician in the decision-making process for single-tooth implant rehabilitation in the anterior maxilla. The treatment options were based on the predictability of implant primary stability, integrity of the buccal bone wall, gingival phenotype, and absence or presence of gingival recessions. Within its limitations, this approach may reduce the incidence of complications and failures.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and clinical impact of implant placement by novice implant clinicians in the narrow anterior ridge by fully guided (FG), pilot-guided (PG), and freehand (FH) placements.
Materials And Methods: A maxillary surgical model with missing incisors and a narrow ridge was designed. Two implants were planned in the lateral incisor locations to receive screw-retained implant prosthesis.

Objective: Safe and bone-sparing implantation of a stem- and cement-free reversed shoulder prosthesis.
Indications: Shoulder arthritis with rotator cuff degeneration, symptomatic rotator cuff arthropathy with no further therapy, posttraumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, humeral head necrosis, revision surgery after implantation of a surface prosthesis.
Contraindications: Infection, axillary nerve lesion, deltoid muscle insufficiency, insufficient central glenoid bone substance for glenoid screw fixation.
This review focuses on the anatomic and radiographic characteristics of the pediatric proximal femur and the advantages and disadvantages of different protocols for the management of pediatric femoral neck fractures (PFNFs) in terms of fracture classification, reduction methods, reduction quality and fixation methods, with the goal of proposing an optimal treatment protocol for PFNFs to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications. The anatomic and radiographic characteristics of the pediatric proximal femur, including the presence of an active growth plate, an immature femoral calcar, greater trabecular density and plasticity and a relatively immature blood supply are very different from those of the adult proximal femur. Treatment protocols for PFNFs must differ from those for adult femoral neck fractures.

Purpose: Osseointegration-associated infections are a critical barrier to widespread implementation of osseointegrated (OI) prosthetics. To address this challenge, a preclinical animal model must exist of the human model to test potential interventions. In this article, we describe a novel rabbit model of OI implant-related infection that can act as a platform for rapid translation and development of therapeutic approaches to combat these uniquely challenging infections.

Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) is a condition presenting to both the dental and otolaryngologic practitioner. Common causes of OMS include dental implants, displacement of a maxillary tooth root tip during extraction, migration of materials used in root canal therapy or graft material in sinus lift procedure. A 68-year-old male patient presented with complaints of repeated episodes of sinusitis for about 3 months which was not responding to conservative management.
