PURPOSE To evaluate the survival, success, and complication rates of tapered double-lead threads single implants, placed in fresh extraction sockets and healed sites of the posterior jaws. METHODS The enrolled patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: in the test group (TG), all implants were inserted at the time of tooth extraction; in the control group (CG), all implants were placed 3 m...

BACKGROUND Osseointegrated endosseous implants are widely used for the rehabilitation of completely and partially edentulous patients, being the final prosthodontic treatment more predictable and the failures extremely infrequent. A case of fracture of an endosseous dental implant, replacing the maxillary first molar, occurring in a middle-age woman, 5 years after placement is reported. MATER...

Abstract Late spontaneous hematoma (> 6 months postoperatively) after breast reconstruction using implant is rare complication. We experienced a case of capsular contracture with unique clinical form intracapsular 13 years implantation smooth saline filled implants. This report presented the mechanism complication examined through chart-review, histological morphological analysis, and litera...

BACKGROUND Simultaneous breast augmentation and mastopexy has historically been a controversial topic, and it has been considered by some to be a difficult and unpredictable procedure. Secondary breast augmentation and mastopexy after previous breast surgery is rarely discussed in the literature, and little is known about the outcomes of these secondary procedures. OBJECTIVE The authors prese...

Thorsten Gehrke: Both Dr. Parvizi and I came up with the idea to organize a meeting of this type. It's necessary because right now there are no global standards for prevention, diagnostics and treatment; no scientific evidence is available; and there is great uncertainty worldwide regarding the treatment of periprosthetic infections. Because it is extremely difficult and ethically problematic t...

The 3-dimensional positioning of a dental implant is a key factor in achieving an adequate esthetic result. If a dental implant is placed too far facially, especially in the maxillary anterior sextant, gingival recession can be expected, which eventually may lead to a compromised esthetic result. This clinical case report represents the surgical and prosthetic management of a 5 mm gingival rece...

Titanium (Ti) and titanium alloy have been widely used in orthopedics. However, the successful application of implants is mainly limited due to implant-associated infections. The implant surface contributes osseointegration, but also has risk accelerating growth bacterial colonies, surfaces infected with bacteria easily form biofilms that are resistant antibiotics. Biofilm-related infections a ...

Purpose To demonstrate an unusual case of orbital trauma due to dental surgery complication. Observations An elderly patient who underwent dental implantation to the zygomatic bone was hospitalized in the ophthalmology department with impaired abduction of her right eye, also evident on ocular examination. Head computed tomography demonstrated damage to the lateral rectus and to the inferior ...

SUMMARY: BACKGROUND: We report the case of a 74-year-old female patient who presented at the Breast Care Centre with watery discharge from a fistula in the inframammary fold of the left breast. CASE REPORT: The patient initially presented with watery discharge coming from the fistula, which later took on a more viscous consistency. She reported mild discomfort as well as mild erythema. Clinical...

We present a previously unreported late complication of medialization laryngoplasty (ML), also described as a thyroplasty, type 1. Five years following ML with Silastic, a 64-year-old female presented with dysphonia and a mass in the laryngeal ventricle on the ipsilateral side of the ML. A computed tomography scan of the larynx revealed migration of the thyroid cartilage window into the ventric...
