Purpose: The aim of the present retrospective clinical study was to evaluate the outcome of a maxillary sinus lateral window augmentation protocol, which sought to shorten the treatment time.
Materials And Methods: This protocol entailed sinus augmentation with deproteinized bovine bone minerals (DBBM) and simultaneous implant placement in patients with minimal residual bone height. A total of 89 sinus augmentation procedures were performed in 74 patients, in whom 160 implants were placed between 2005 and 2013. The mean residual bone height was 2.6 ± 0.6 mm. The healing time before loading was 4.18 ± 0.63 months.
Results: In a first evaluation in 2014 the early implant survival rate (EIsR) was 96.8% after a mean period of 5.4 ± 2.2 years. A second evaluation in 2019 after a mean period of 10.4 ± 2.2 years showed a late implant survival rate (LIsR) of 83.1%. The failures after 2014 were all caused by peri-implantitis, which affected 14.6% and 16.8% of patients and implants, respectively. This prevalence of peri-implantitis does not appear to be higher than that usually observed in nonaugmented sites.
Conclusion: This reduction in the duration of treatment compared to the usual duration of 9 to 12 months does not seem to affect the predictability of the technique.

Immune-related adverse events (irAE) are treatment-associated complications that single or multiple systems could be involved after immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICI), ranging from mild to life-threatening diseases, with significant heterogeneity. This is an important factor which might affect continuous ICI treatment. Patients who have experienced mild to moderate irAE could try ICI rechallenge after they recovered from irAE.

Purpose: To investigate the risk factors for local maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma recurrence/residual tumor after superselective intra-arterial cisplatin infusion and concomitant radiotherapy.
Material And Methods: The protocol of superselective intra-arterial cisplatin infusion and concomitant radiotherapy was as follows: cisplatin was administered once per week for 7 weeks, and the dose of every procedure was 100 mg/m. Radiation was administered during the same period using intensity-modulated radiation therapy, with a total dose of 70 Gy (2 Gy/35 fractions).

Introduction: The infratemporal fossa (ITF) represents a complex anatomical region of critical relevance in skull base surgery, particularly due to its involvement in the extension of neoplastic lesions. Surgical access to this region remains technically demanding. The orbitozygomatic (OZ) and transmandibular (TM) approaches offer distinct anatomical perspectives and operative corridors.

Orbital trauma can result in significant complications, particularly when accompanied by foreign body entrapment. Wooden foreign bodies are rare but carry a high risk of infection and chronic inflammation. In these cases, immediate surgical intervention is critical for restoring orbital anatomy and preventing complications.
