A Socket Seal Technique With the Use of Autologous Dental Roots for Socket Seal: A Case Series.

The literature identified variations in socket seal surgery, each with limitations. This case series aimed to observe the outcome of using autologous dental root (ADR) for socket sealing on socket preservation (SP). A total of 9 patients with 15 extraction sockets were documented.

Convergent angles of a tapered implant referred from the root profile of premolars.

Background/purpose: Limited studies have discussed the convergent profiles regarding tapered implants based on biological considerations. This study analyzed the convergent angles (CAs) of premolar roots and imitated a tapered implant according to the anatomy of tooth roots.

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 single-rooted premolars were explored by micro-computed tomography.

Morphology of Peri-Implant Tissues Around Permanent Prostheses With Various Emergence Angles Following Free Gingival Grafting.

Purpose: To analyze the tissue morphology around implant-supported prostheses by digital technology and to evaluate the effect of prosthetic contours on the changes in tissues following the free gingiva graft procedure.

Material And Methods: A total of 53 implants in 32 patients receiving free gingiva grafts were selected. These had previously presented insufficient keratinized mucosa width (KMW).

Clinical outcomes of AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy in the treatment of May-Thurner syndrome-related deep venous thrombosis.

Objective: May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is an anatomic stenotic variation associated with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the left leg. The classical DVT treatment strategy is medical treatment without thrombus removal. This study was performed to assess the clinical outcomes of the combination of AngioJet™ rheolytic thrombectomy and stenting for treatment of MTS-related DVT.

Efficacy of free gingival grafting to augment keratinized mucosa around dental implants in posterior regions after restorative procedures: A retrospective clinical study.

Statement Of Problem: Data on the shrinkage of free gingival grafts (FGGs) vary. Most studies have analyzed grafts in nonmolar sites because of measurement limitations and have addressed the changes in grafts and keratinized mucosa width (KMW) only in the early healing phase.

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective clinical study was to assess the dimensional changes of an FGG in the posterior regions and their influencing factors, with the aim of obtaining sufficient and stable KMW after restoration.

Using a Web-Based Platform as an Alternative for Conducting International, Multidisciplinary Medical Conferences During the Novel COVID-19 Pandemic: Analysis of a Conference.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has stunted medical education activities, resulting in most conferences being cancelled or postponed. To continue professional education during this crisis, web-based conferences can be conducted via livestream and an audience interaction platform as an alternative.

Objective: The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has affected human connections worldwide.
