    Abstract The presence of impacted and/or supernumerary teeth in the maxillary anterior region can cause complications when attempting to perform restorations with implants. Extracting these structures can lead to adverse issues related to the adjacent dentition and require osseous grafting to provide a base to house the planned implant, but such an approach increases treatment time and cost. In this case report, a patient presented with an impacted permanent canine oriented on the horizontal plane with several supernumerary teeth coronal to the impacted canine. CBCT analysis revealed a very thin buccal plate over the impacted supernumerary teeth. The proposed treatment followed the principles of partial extraction therapy (PET) whereby the impacted structures were treated like bone, and implants were placed in contact with them or through them to achieve the desired osseointegration and provide long-term survival of the restored implants.

    Abstract Modern root-form endosseous dental implants have been used to successfully replace missing teeth for more than four decades. The implant industry has grown substantially during this time, with many hundreds of dental implant manufacturers providing components for clinicians around the globe. Increased acceptance of dental implants has greatly amplified the number of dental implants placed worldwide. As the dental implant patient population continues to age, long-term follow-up after implant placement has become increasingly important due to various factors associated with the condition and maintenance of implants placed. Although dental implants exhibit a high success rate as a medical device, their life expectancy may be limited depending on the patient's changing health, use of medications, lifestyle changes, nutrition, occlusal/bite issues, loss of additional teeth, experiences of trauma, lack of sufficient keratinized soft tissue, loss of bony support, and oral hygiene habits. When loss of soft-tissue coverage and/or bone occurs, the resultant inflammation surrounding the implant is known as peri-implantitis.

    Abstract Various materials have been used for extraction socket preservation in anticipation of implant placement or to limit resorption of socket walls. Materials have ranged from autogenous bone, allografts, and xenografts to synthetics. Ideally, the graft material being placed into the socket at the time of extraction should fully convert to host bone to yield vital bone that will permit implant osseointegration with as much contact between bone and the implant surface as possible. This article reviews different materials and presents two cases in which extraction of a molar was required and future implant placement planned.

    Abstract Complex treatment frequently requires the often challenging task of cohesively melding multiple disciplines of dentistry. The use of a digital workflow aids in simplifying the flow of treatment from start to finish and can result in faster and better outcomes for the patient as compared to traditional analog methods. Digital workflows allow the clinician to design esthetic outcomes and occlusion first virtually, communicate these esthetic designs to the patient, and then transmit digital files to chairside milling and printing devices as well as to dental laboratories for permanent restoration fabrication. In the case presented-a complex implant case in which multiple areas of dental care were incorporated to achieve the patient's desired esthetic goals-the benefits of a digital workflow, including efficient soft-tissue management and streamlined fabrication of custom abutments, are demonstrated.

  5. Article: Vanadate stimulates the N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase in rat nephron.

    Sabatini, S / Kurtzman, N A

    The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics

    1989  Volume 250, Issue 2, Page(s) 529–533

    Abstract: ... concentrations of vanadate on N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-sensitive ATPase activity in microdissected segments of rat ... 531 +/- 74 pmol/mm/hr; control vs. (1 mM) vanadate, respectively; n = 14, P less than 0.01 ...

    Abstract Vanadate has been used in many cellular systems to elucidate mechanisms of enzyme action. Vanadate inhibits Na-K adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity in many tissues. In isolated collecting tubule it inhibits sodium transport and vasopressin-stimulated water flux, the latter presumably distal to cyclic AMP formation. Depending upon the tissue studied, vanadate also stimulates a variety of cellular reactions including adenylate cyclase, glucose oxidation and glycogen synthesis. We studied the effect of varying concentrations of vanadate on N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-sensitive ATPase activity in microdissected segments of rat nephron. In proximal convoluted tubule and in cortical, medullary and papillary collecting ducts vanadate had no effect on enzyme activity. In medullary and cortical thick ascending limbs, however, vanadate significantly stimulated NEM-sensitive ATPase activity (medullary thick ascending limb, 241 +/- 14 pmol/mm/hr vs. 531 +/- 74 pmol/mm/hr; control vs. (1 mM) vanadate, respectively; n = 14, P less than 0.01). The stimulatory effect of vanadate on NEM-sensitive ATPase activity was present at 5 microM vanadate, a concentration that inhibited Na-K ATPase activity approximately 80%. Metabolic acidosis also stimulated enzyme activity in the thick ascending limb, and the effect of vanadate was not additive. Metabolic alkalosis had no effect on NEM-sensitive ATPase in the thick ascending limb, but the stimulatory effect of vanadate was still seen. These data document that the NEM-sensitive ATPase in thick ascending limb is different from that found in other nonmammalian proton secretory epithelia which are vanadate inhibitable. The results with vanadate plus metabolic acidosis suggest that both are acting via the same mechanism.

    Abstract Dental implant practitioners are often faced with a presentation of a narrow crest, making it difficult or impossible for implant placement and requiring modification of the ridge to allow implants to be utilized. Many different factors need to be considered when choosing the technique to expand the ridge laterally. Ideally, the technique should facilitate the goal of ridge width increase while reducing inflammation and postoperative pain for the patient. In this study, patients were treated for lateral ridge augmentation to improve ridge width using a calcium sulphate-based bone cement with a protocol that does not require membrane placement at the time of grafting. This minimally invasive, relatively economical surgical technique is aimed at improving postoperative comfort for patients while permitting widening of the lateral ridge.

    Abstract Autologous blood concentrates (ABCs), specifically platelet-rich plasma (PRP), were originally discussed in the literature more than 60 years ago. Since then, protocols to fabricate PRP from patient-derived blood have steadily evolved with the aim of creating better products with more effective clinical results. Key to the protocol evolution has been the development of ABCs with higher concentrates of platelets and other blood components that enhance soft- and hard-tissue healing and, hence, regeneration. The authors present a protocol for obtaining high-platelet-concentration PRP and autogenous thrombin. This fifth-generation protocol allows PRP to be attained with a platelet concentration six times higher than that which is present in the original clot. This double-centrifugation PRP protocol is relatively simple and inexpensive, as it does not require special equipment or advanced technical knowledge by the practitioner and can readily be conducted in a private dental clinical setting.

    Abstract Objective: This study investigated the relationship, in adults 50 years and older, between self-reported past-month marijuana use and difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions (SDCRMD) because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition, using the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).
    Method: We relied on a sample of 294,000 adults (53.4% female), 50 years and older, from 21 U.S. states and two territories over 4 years (2016-2019). We conducted descriptive analyses to examine the prevalence of past-month marijuana use and SDCRMD and used multivariate logistic regression to examine the association between marijuana use and SDCRMD, controlling for demographic and health-related variables.
    Results: The overall prevalence of SDCRMD was 11.0%, 95% confidence interval (CI) [10.6%, 11.5%], and the prevalence of self-reported past-month marijuana use was 7.1%, 95% CI [6.7%, 7.5%]. Of those reporting past-month marijuana use, 19.9%, 95% CI [17.8%, 22.1%] reported SDCRMD. Past-month marijuana users were 1.5, 95% CI [1.1, 2.1] times more likely to report SDCRMD than nonusers. Prevalence of past-month marijuana use was higher in states with legalization of both medical and recreational marijuana; however, prevalence of SDCRMD was not.
    Conclusions: We found a strong, positive, and statistically significant relationship between past-month marijuana use and SDCRMD. This finding serves as an important first step in identifying the relationship between older adults' self-reported marijuana use and their difficulty concentrating, remembering, and decision-making because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition; however, additional research is needed.

    Abstract Introduction: Appendicitis is a common disease, and as we have improved in early diagnosis and management of this disease process, late stage complications have become extremely rare, but can have indolent presentations.
    Case report: A 37-year-old male with no past medical history presented to the emergency department (ED) with vague abdominal pain as well as 12 days of cyclical fever. He had no significant findings on laboratory workup with the exception of a mild aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase and relative neutrophilia between outpatient, urgent care, and ultimate ED visit. His ED workup included cross-sectional imaging of his abdomen revealing multiple liver abscesses and septic thrombophlebitis secondary to ruptured appendicitis.
    Conclusion: Liver abscesses and septic thrombophlebitis are an extremely rare complication of appendicitis that has only been documented twice previously.
