Article Abstract

Objectives: Recently, there has been great interest in teeth and their derivatives as suitable substrates for the treatment of alveolar bone defects. This retrospective study evaluates the clinical and radiographic outcomes of implants inserted in a site that underwent GBR procedure using a tooth derivate material.

Materials And Methods: A total of 21 patients received a GBR using an autologous extracted tooth. Four months after the GBR techniques, the implants were inserted and were followed for an average of 5.28 + -1.10 years after loading. The X-ray was analyzed after a period of 63.36 + -13.2 months for a total follow-up period.

Results: A total of 28 implants were inserted. All the implants were clinically functional after the follow-up period. The average bone loss from the X-ray images was 0.1208 + -0.1307.

Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the use of a tooth as a graft using a tooth transformer device guarantees the production of bone and maintenance over time.

Versatile Usability of Lateral Crural Strut Graft for Correction of Various Nasal Tip Deformity in Secondary Rhinoplasty in Asians.

Plast Reconstr Surg

September 2025

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University College of Medicine, 1 Singil-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea 07441.

Background: The insertion of implants and tip plasties has been performed in Asian patients for an attractive and higher nasal profile, which can result in diverse tip deformations such as notching, pinching, alar retraction, incompetent external valve, deviated tip, cephalic rotation, and lateral crus malposition due to inappropriate manipulation of the lower lateral cartilage and/or silicone capsular contracture. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and utility of applying lateral crural strut graft (LCSG) as a consistent and appropriate surgical method to correct various nasal tip deformities that occur as complications following rhinoplasty in Asian patients.

Methods: We prospectively studied 37 patients with a minimum follow-up of 12 months among 53 patients who underwent secondary rhinoplasty, including LCSG, between January 2016 and December 2020.

Purpose: To evaluate changes in implant stability quotient values of hydrophilic tissue-level implants over time, and to investigate the influence of local factors on variations in these values.

Methods: Fifty tapered, self-tapping, tissue-level implants with a hydrophilic surface were placed and monitored for 12 months. Implant stability quotient values were recorded at the time of insertion (T0) and monthly thereafter for 12 months.

The efficacy of the remote monitoring system following transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Cardiovasc Revasc Med

August 2025

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, NYU Langone Health, NY, United States of America. Electronic address:

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a cornerstone in the management of aortic valve disease. However, delayed complications after hospital discharge and readmission remain in an issue following TAVR. We aimed to evaluate the impact of remote monitoring systems on clinical outcomes after TAVR.

Dynamic joint balancing (DJB) in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RATKA) allows surgeons to simulate implant positioning and predict soft tissue balance intraoperatively before bone resection. Although virtual gap (VG) estimation is integral to this process, its accuracy in predicting the final gap (FG) after implantation remains uncertain. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 77 knees in 61 patients undergoing RATKA with the MAKO system.
