Article Abstract
Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of 2 g amoxicillin orally with identical placebo tablets 1 hour before implant placement when placing single implants in bone types II and III.
Material And Methods: 12 private dental clinics in Spain agreed to participate in this trial. A total of 105 patients were recruited. Patients were randomised for consumption orally of 2g amoxicillin or identical placebo tablets. Only patients needing single implants were included. Outcome measures were post-operative infections, adverse events and implant failures. Characteristics of the saprophytic flora were also studied in all patients. Patients were seen 3 days, 10 days, 1 month and 3 months postoperatively.
Results: A total of 105 patients (n = 52 in the amoxicillin group and n = 53 in the placebo group) were evaluated and none were excluded from the study at 3 months. Six post-operative infections occurred and two implants were lost in each group. There were no statistically significant differences for postoperative infection, adverse events, implant failures and the characteristics of saprophytic flora between groups. The use of amoxicillin did not either alter or modify the characteristics of the saprophytic flora nor provoke remarkable side effects.
Conclusions: Antibiotic prophylaxis may not be needed when placing single implants in patients with bone types II and III.

Simulations of Implanted Glutamate Sensor Performance in Three Spatial Dimensions and Time Inform Sensor Design and Data Interpretation.

Simulations in three dimensions and time provide guidance on implantable, electroenzymatic glutamate sensor design; relative placement in planar sensor arrays; feasibility of sensing synaptic release events; and interpretation of sensor data. Electroenzymatic sensors based on the immobilization of oxidases on microelectrodes have proven valuable for the monitoring of neurotransmitter signaling in deep brain structures; however, the complex extracellular milieu featuring slow diffusive mass transport makes rational sensor design and data interpretation challenging. Simulations show that miniaturization of the disk-shaped device size below a radius of ∼25 μm improves sensitivity, spatial resolution, and the accuracy of glutamate concentration measurements based on calibration factors determined .

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survival outcomes of dental implants placed in the pterygoid region and assess the potential influence of multiple clinical variables on their survival.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on pterygoid implants placed over a 9-year period at the University of Connecticut Department of Prosthodontics. All pterygoid implants were placed by a single board-certified prosthodontist following a standardized surgical protocol.
Aortocoronary flap technique in arterial switch for single coronary: Two case reports.

Single coronary ostium and intramural coronary artery variations in patients with transposition of the great arteries significantly increase the mortality and morbidity after arterial switch operation (ASO). In these patients, the classic coronary button implantation may cause kinking or twisting of the coronary artery which can cause coronary insufficiency. This case series presents two patients, a 15-month-old girl with transposition of the great arteries and a 10-month-old boy with a Taussig-Bing anomaly.

Introduction: This in vitro study evaluated how different forces applied to the dental drill handle during static computer-assisted implant surgery influence surgical guide deformation and implant placement accuracy.
Methods: Twenty-four virtual implants were divided into six groups (0-10 N, in 2 N increments). Surgical guides were scanned under loaded conditions, and deviations were quantified by superimposition with the baseline model.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare implant survival, clinical outcomes and radiographic alignment between navigated and non-navigated total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed with a single implant system.
Methods: A retrospective multicenter analysis of prospectively collected data from 6078 TKAs performed for primary osteoarthritis using a single implant system was performed. Procedures were divided into two groups: navigated ( = 3602) and non-navigated ( = 2476).
