E-cigarettes may be more harmful to a smoker’s heart than traditional tobacco cigarettes. That’s the finding of new research from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, presented today (Nov. 11) at an American Heart Association scientific conference. The Cedars-Sinai team compared the hearts of 10 non-smokers to the hearts of 10 tobacco smokers and 10 e-cigarette smokers. All the people in the study were younger than 40, and all were otherwise healthy. In response to a mild bout of exercise,...

Cochlear implantation is a fairly successful procedure for restoring hearing in cases of sensorineural hearing loss. Moreover, patients with cochlear implants are at increased risk of contracting pneumococcal meningitis compared...

CONCLUSIONS: This study represents the largest national cohort of pediatric patients undergoing CI in infancy. In this series, the surgery was safe and the speech outcome was good. With implementation of the neonatal screening program in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the number of infants undergoing CI is likely to increase in the near future, paving the way for more research in infant CI.

Authors: Rahne T Abstract Implantable hearing systems work because mechanical vibration energy is introduced into the hearing system. The performance of the hearing system is thus essentially determined by physical parameters. Together with the tone and speech audiogram the indications for deciding on a system are based on the efficacy of the respective system and the patient's wishes. Hearing-assisted patients should have a dynamic range of 30-35 dB to adequately understand speech. This...

CONCLUSION: The origin of the poorer hearing of the better-hearing ear of SSD patients compared to an age-correlated NH cohort is still unclear. It is most likely a combination of different anatomical, immunological, etiological, and microcirculatory causes, which lead to poorer hearing of the better-hearing ear in SSD patients.

(University of Basel) Noise is not the same as noise -- and even a quiet environment does not have the same effect as white noise.

Researchers here demonstrate a proof of principle for an interesting approach to tackling the aggregation of damaged, altered, or misfolded proteins that is a feature of most neurodegenerative conditions. They target the mutant huntingtin protein, which is probably an easier task than targeting, say, a misfolded protein with a normal sequence. The basic idea is to deploy a linking molecule that binds to the problem protein with high specificity, and also binds to an essential component of autophagy...

CONCLUSION: Artificial calculus removal by mechanical instrumentation, with the exception of PT, was proven to be clinically effective. All instruments induced minor to major topographic changes upon dental implant surfaces. AA did not remarkably change MA and RG surfaces at both micrometer and nanometer levels.

CONCLUSION: The interposition of a bone graft between implants and the inferior alveolar nerve after lateralization did not prevent sensory disturbances and did not influence the sensation recovery time or implant survival rates.

CONCLUSION: This is the first study in the literature that reveals a better osseointegration process in miniscrew implants when treated with photobiomodulation and ozone therapy compared with control groups.

SLA-surfaced miniscrew implants...

CONCLUSION: Implantoplasty did not weaken implant stability. The use of silicone polishers revealed lower surface roughness. Regarding surface smoothness, the instrumentation sequence employing silicon carbide and Arkansas stones followed by silicone polishers seems to be superior to the combination of diamond and Arkansas stones. PMID: 31711072 [PubMed - in process] (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants)
02:01
CONCLUSION: The importance of having an adequate KT width around implants was confirmed by this review; adequate KT was significantly associated with less peri-implant inflammation evaluated qualitatively with mGI/GI. No difference was found for plaque accumulation and bleeding, but a positive trend was found favoring implants with adequate KT.

CONCLUSION: Nine of 11 studies reported that titanium implants coated with strontium showed significantly higher BIC (P < .001 to P < .05).

CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this study, coating rhTGF-β2 on implants with the help of PLGA carriers by electrospray may have enhanced osseointegration during the early stage of implant healing period in in-vivo rabbit tibia model.

02:01
CONCLUSION: An anatomically contoured provisional restoration may provide a strategy to stimulate peri-implant soft tissue healing, minimize loss of buccal bone plate at the marginal level, and maintain pristine volume in the alveolar bone better than noncustomized restorations.

CONCLUSION: Within this treatment concept, biologic and technical complications may occur over time. However, the vast majority of complications (99.0%) do not affect the overall prosthesis survival.

CONCLUSION: Probiotics seem to increase roughness of titanium mini-implants, while CHX seems to increase roughness of steel mini-implants. Only stainless steel implants had an altered, decreased hardness after exposure to CHX, although the same was found after their exposure to saliva. For patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with temporary anchorage units, CHX could be recommended for titanium, and probiotics for stainless steel mini-implants in oral-hygiene maintenance.

CONCLUSION: Approximately one-quarter of dental implants (24.7%) developed bone loss beyond normal physiologic remodeling. Vertical bone loss around single implants was the most common pattern (65%), particularly around implants placed in bone-grafted sites with odds ratio of 2.5 for narrow implants vs 3.1 for wide implants. In the presence of adjacent implants, the odds of horizontal bone loss was 5.1 (P = .003). PMID: 31711088 [PubMed - in process] (Source: International Journal of Oral and...
02:01
CONCLUSION: In the presence of adequate native bone, placement of longer/regular-sized implants should be chosen over placement of short implants in the maxilla. However, in a posterior mandible, short implants offer a judicious alternative. PMID: 31711077 [PubMed - in process] (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants)
02:01
CONCLUSION: Neither the age nor the time since edentulism influenced the masticatory function of IMO-wearing patients. However, IMO significantly improved the masticatory function in totally edentulous patients, and this is more evident for younger patients (≤ 65 years) with a shorter time since mandibular edentulism (< 25 years). The OHRQoL is only influenced by age and time since edentulism in complete denture wearers; IMO treatment eliminates these differences. PMID: 31711087 [PubMed -...
02:01
CONCLUSION: As the DMA/HEMA-based cement showed higher tensile bond strength values, the usage of this resin composite cement for luting implant abutments to titanium bases can be recommended. Neither polishing nor the use of different cleaning procedures had an impact on tensile bond strength. PMID: 31711075 [PubMed - in process] (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants)
02:01
CONCLUSION: Single implant treatment in a preserved alveolar ridge and nonpreserved alveolar ridge is accompanied by clinically nonrelevant changes in the midlabial mucosal level. Changes in marginal bone level, esthetics, and patient satisfaction were comparable between the groups.

CONCLUSION: Provided the clinically recommended drilling procedure was adhered to, the absolute temperatures using either a conventional drill system or a guided drill system were below the threshold for thermally induced tissue damage.

02:01
CONCLUSION: The conical head screw set presented a higher maintenance of applied preload than the flat head screw set. As far as reverse torque is concerned, the crown/implant ratio affects the torque maintenance only in association with a flat head screw set. The use of the tested conical head screw set can help clinicians solve loosening torque, mainly in a situation with a crown/implant ratio > 1.
