Early implant placement

INTRODUCTION: Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters act in preventing pulmonary embolisms (PE). Various complications have been reported with their use. However, a credible urological complication rate, filter characteristics, and clinical presentation has yet to be summarized. Thus, we reported these complications in the form of a systematic review. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: A search strategy was designed using PubMed, MEDLINE, and EMBASE on February 10th , 2022. The design of this search strategy did not include any language restrictions...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Growing rod (GR) systems require periodical surgical intervention and may cause associated complications, as well as worsened sagittal plane deformity. Generally, the risk of complications decreases with increment in age at the time of the index surgery with GR construct placement. However, the optimal timing to begin GR treatment has not reached a consensus yet. PURPOSE: This study was performed to investigate the effect of age at the index GR surgery on the complication rates and formulate clinical guidelines for the optimal timing to begin GR treatment for EOS patients...

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of adding an allogenic soft tissue graft at time of single implant placement using a fully digital workflow for single implant placement and restoration without making either analog or digital impressions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective randomized clinical study was performed enrolling thirtynine participants requiring single tooth implant randomized into (+ graft) group which received an allogenic dermal graft at the time of implant placement (n=19), or (- graft) group (n=20)...

BACKGROUND: Reconstructive options that can be used following conservative mastectomy, skin-, nipple-sparing and skin-reducing mastectomies, allow a remarkable variety of safe methods to restore the natural shape and aesthetics of the breast mound. In case of two-stage breast reconstruction, tissue expanders (TEs) are usually placed in a subpectoral position. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of two-step reconstruction with TE in pre-pectoral position covered by acellular dermal matrix (ADM)...

For women undergoing mastectomy, breast reconstruction can be performed by using implants or autologous tissue flaps. Mastectomy options include skin- and nipple-sparing techniques. Implant-based reconstruction can be performed with saline or silicone implants. Various autologous pedicled or free tissue flap reconstruction methods based on different tissue donor sites are available. The aesthetic outcomes of implant- and flap-based reconstructions can be improved with oncoplastic surgery, including autologous fat graft placement and nipple-areolar complex reconstruction...

Introduction The current research sets out to assess implant early survival rates and identify relevant parameters. Methods The research spanned the years 2021 and 2022 and included all individuals who had dental implants. Various criteria, such as age, sex, maxilla/mandible, implant location, immediate implant, implant diameter, implant length, and others, were used to determine the implant survival rate in the research. A multiple logistic regression model was used to show the risk variables for early survival rates of implants, and components with p < 0...

OBJECTIVES: To compare immediate implant placement (IIP) with early implant placement (EIP) for single tooth replacement in the aesthetic area in terms of aesthetic, clinical, and patient-reported outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two independent reviewers conducted an electronic literature search in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane databases as well as a manual search to identify eligible clinical studies up to February 2023. Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) comparing IIP with EIP were included for a qualitative and quantitative analysis...

Pelvic fixation is commonly used in correcting pelvic obliquity in pediatric patients with neuromuscular scoliosis and in preserving stability in adult patients with lumbosacral spondylolisthesis or instances of traumatic or osteoporotic fracture. S2-alar-iliac screws are commonly used in this role and have been proposed to reduce implant prominence when compared to traditional pelvic fusion utilizing iliac screws. The aim of this technical note is to describe a technique for robotically navigated placement of S2-alar-iliac screws in pediatric patients with neuromuscular scoliosis, which (a) minimizes the significant exposure needed to identify a bony start point, (b) aids in instrumenting the irregular anatomy often found in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis, and (c) allows for greater precision than traditional open or fluoroscopic techniques...

Background: The management of spinal deformities diagnosed before the age of 10 is critical due to the child's development, skeletal system, and growth mechanism. Magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGRs) are a surgical treatment option for the growing spine. The aim of this study was to analyze the radiological findings of patients treated with MCGRs for early-onset scoliosis (EOS) of various etiologies. We hypothesized that the MCGRs could provide acceptable long-term radiographic results, such as an increase in the T1-T12 and T1-S1 height and significant overall deformity correction...

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of serum vitamin D levels and its relationship to early dental implant failures. A total of 174 implants in 109 patients were placed and serum vitamin D levels of those patients were noted the day of implant placement. Implants were followed up until restoration, approximately 3-6 months later, and any implant failure was noted based on 50% or more bone loss or implant mobility. Eight individuals had an implant fail early and their vitamin D levels had a mean of 42...

BACKGROUND: The reduced treatment time of dental implants with immediate loading protocol is an appealing solution for dentists and patients. However, there remains a significant risk of early peri-implant bone response following the placement of immediately loaded implants, and limited information is available regarding loading directions and the associated in vivo characteristics of peri-implant bone during the early stages. This study aimed to investigate the effects of immediate loading directionality on the expression of mechanical sensing protein PIEZO1 and the healing process of peri-implant bone in the early stage...

OBJECTIVES: This case series aimed to assess the efficacy of a novel horizontal ridge augmentation modality using histology. Combinations of "sticky bone" and tenting screws without autologous bone were used as augmentative materials. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Five individuals presenting healed, atrophic, partially edentulous sites that required horizontal bone augmentation before implant placement were enrolled. Patients underwent the same augmentation type and five months of postoperative reentry procedures...

BACKGROUND: The present retrospective study investigates implant retention time in patients who had experienced multiple implant failures and explores possible risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who underwent placement of at least two implants and experienced failure of two or more implants between 2004 and 2022 were included in the study population. Both patient- and implant-related risk factors, including age, sex, medical history, medication intake, smoking, alcohol consumption, implant properties and anatomical and surgical factors, were evaluated...

AIM: To determine the effects of implant timing and type of soft-tissue grafting on histological and histomorphometric outcomes in a preclinical model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four implant placement protocols were randomly applied at the mesial root sites of the third and fourth mandibular premolars in 10 mongrel dogs: immediate placement (group IP), early placement (group EP), delayed placement with/without alveolar ridge preservation (groups ARP and DP, respectively)...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Male stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and erectile dysfunction (ED) are well established diagnoses within Men's Health, often more specifically within the prostate cancer survivorship cohort. Taken individually, well defined treatment algorithms exist with which many surgeons are comfortable; however, treatment of both in a single setting or staged fashion introduces complexity. Emerging treatment options also exist, and there is immature or minimal data when these are combined with inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) insertion, radiation history, and/or variable degrees of incontinence...

PURPOSE: Compression necrosis refers to bone tissue damage that can occur when excessive pressure or force is applied to surrounding bone during implant placement. This pressure can compromise blood supply to the bone, leading to necrosis. Compression necrosis is a concern, because it can affect the stability and long-term success of dental implant. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This case report highlights a case of early bone loss and implant failure possibly due to compression necrosis...

BACKGROUND: Previous reports suggest septal hypertrophy with an interventricular septum depth (IVSD) ≥ 14 mm may adversely affect outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) due to suboptimal valve placement, valve migration, or residual increased LVOT pressure gradients. AIMS: This analysis investigates the impact of interventricular septal hypertrophy on acute outcomes after TAVI. METHODS: Between 2009 and 2021, 1033 consecutive patients (55...

Glans hypermobility (GH) is a well-described clinical entity that can have significant implications for cosmesis and function, resulting in sexual dissatisfaction, penile pain, and early device erosion, with an estimated incidence of 0.04% to 10%. We developed a novel grading scale to assess GH severity intraoperatively during primary inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) placement and describe a modified glanspexy technique to correct GH when encountered during IPP placement. 530 patients who underwent primary IPP placements from two high-volume prosthetic surgeons between February 2018 - November 2019 were retrospectively reviewed in order to identify the incidence of GH...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of supraphysiologic administration of testosterone in an early and late model of implant osseointegration in rat tibiae. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 40 rats were randomly allocated into four groups (n = 10/ group), which were divided according to the type of experiment and time of osseointegration: (1) vehicle (14 days), (2) testosterone (14 days), (3) vehicle (42 days), and (4) testosterone (42 days). Testosterone cypionate (7...

Following the placement of endovascular implants, perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) becomes an early sensor of vascular injury to which it responds by undergoing phenotypic changes characterized by reduction in the secretion of adipocyte-derived relaxing factors and a shift to a proinflammatory and pro-contractile state. Thus, activated PVAT loses its anti-inflammatory function, secretes proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and generates reactive oxygen species, which are accompanied by differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts and proliferation of smooth muscle cells...
