The aim of the present study was to report a modified protocol for immediate implant-supported full-arch rehabilitation on three interforaminal implants and two implants placed in the posterior mandible, one on each side. This article describes a treatment protocol that can be used to reduce the time required for the fabrication and placement of an implant-supported prosthesis. It is described ...

background and aim: in vitro studies have revealed a direct association between resin content and cytotoxicity of resin composites; but implantation studies in this regard are sparse. this study investigates the relationship between filler content of composite resins and biocompatibility. materials and methods: this study was conducted using 18 male wistar rats (180-200g), 1 nano-hybrid (prime-...

Tooth autotransplantation, that is the surgical movement of a tooth from its original location to another site within same person, an alternative dental implantation because it can save time, provide faster healing and function, has esthetic advantages. A unique sensory system be maintained, procedure promotes proper periodontal environment. We report on case external fistula with apical period...

BACKGROUND Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction following implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is a serious condition and is associated with increased mortality. METHODS The aim of the study is to investigate the significance of pre-existing RV dysfunction, tricuspid valve (TV) insufficiency, and the severity of septal deviation following LVAD implantation on RV dysfunction, ...
