BACKGROUND Grafting the floor of the maxillary sinus has become the most common surgical intervention for increasing alveolar bone height prior to the placement of endosseous dental implants in the posterior maxilla. Outcomes of this procedure may be affected by specific surgical techniques, simultaneous versus delayed implant placement, use of barrier membranes over the lateral window, selecti...

window analysis is a known technique to evaluate performance during the time periods based on data envelopment analysis. in application of window analysis is assumed that efficient frontier have not changed during the periods in the study. unlike the window analysis, malmquist index tries to identify difference between efficient frontiers and separated them. but the means of different frontier ...

Fractures through the sacroiliac joint are very challenging to treat, technically difficult to reduce through closed methods on account of the multiaxial displacement of fractures fragments, frequently occur in very unwell patients, and have poor outcomes if malreduction is present. We describe a technique utilising the lateral window and a short buttress plate to reduce and stabilize the fragm...

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate an alternative method for sinus augmentation through a palatal approach when complications do not allow the use of traditional approaches. A 50-year-old male patient presented with multiple previous sinus augmentation attempts. A cone beam computed tomography scan revealed bone graft material had consolidated on the buccal aspect of the lateral sinu...

In this paper, a novel technique for detection of healthy (H), myopathy, (M) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) electromyography (EMG) signals is proposed employing robust hyperbolic Stockwell transform (HST). HST an efficient signal processing to analyze any nonstationary in joint time–frequency (T–F) plane. However, major issue with the optimum selection Gaussian window parameters since ...
