Abstract The use of dental implants to support mandibular or maxillary overdentures is a widely used treatment modality. Advantages are an increase in retention, an increase in chewing ability, and easy access for oral hygiene procedures. While telescopic and conical crowns have been used for decades to connect natural teeth to overdentures, not many cases have been reported in the literature of telescopic crowns placed on implants to support overdentures. This article describes 7 patients with overdentures supported by telescopic crowns who received 65 implants (ITI Straumann). The cases presented in this report have been in function for up to 4.5 years. During that time no adverse events were reported. The use of telescopic crowns as attachments for implant-supported overdentures may be a viable treatment option.

Abstract A major drawback of implant therapy is the comparatively long healing period involved. Early and immediate loading of dental implants can significantly decrease the treatment time and thus result in an increase in patients' comfort. In this report, 3 cases of placement and immediate loading of the final implants are presented. In 2 of these cases, where preliminary augmentation was necessary, provisional implants were placed after the procedure and immediate provisional dentures were delivered. With the exception of 1 case, in which 1 implant failed, no adverse events were observed. All cases are in function now for 3 to 5 years after implant placement. The observations from this limited number of cases confirm that immediate loading of implants could be a viable treatment option.

Dental autotransplantation (DAT) is a surgical procedure in which a donor's tooth is extracted and transplanted from one site to another in the same person. This treatment modality has received considerable attention worldwide in recent years due to its potential advantages over implants. A survey-based study evaluated dentists’ attitudes towards and practice of DAT in Damascus, Syria from September to December 2020. We asked respondents whether they considered this treatment modality when developing treatment plans and whether they view it viable. Only 73 of the 258 respondents (28.3%) stated that they considered DAT as a treatment option. Additionally, 153 respondents (59.3%) either did not view DAT as a viable treatment option or did not know whether it is viable. DAT was underestimated and underused among Syrian dentists. Given this gap in real-world knowledge and practice, academic dental institutions in Syria should place a greater focus on emerging evidence-based knowledge and protocols regarding this treatment option.

This case series presents three successful cases of autotransplantation in paediatric patients at Glasgow Dental Hospital with differing clinical presentations. It successfully demonstrates the versatility of the technique. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Autotransplantation of teeth is a viable treatment option for the replacement of teeth in children and can be an excellent method of maintaining space and bone for restoration with an implant in adulthood.

ABSTRACT Aim The purpose of this case series is to reintroduce Kashiwagi decompression as a viable treatment option for malunited calcaneal fractures, delineate the operative technique, and discuss its advantages. Materials and methods From August 2004 to May 2013, 18 patients with Sanders type I malunited calcaneal fractures with lateral heel pain and impingement were treated with the lateral wall decompression technique. The functional outcome was assessed using the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale. Results Eleven patients were males and seven were females, with an average age of 48.4 years. Ten patients had left feet fracture and eight had right feet fracture. Among all the 18 patients with a ‘poor’ score at baseline, 2 (11.11%) scored ‘excellent’, 11 (61.11%) scored ‘good’ and 3 (16.67%) scored ‘fair’ during postoperative evaluation. The average time to return to daily activities was 10.2 weeks (8–12.5 weeks). Conclusion Lateral wall osteotomy and decompression effectively addresses the pathology in cases of lateral abutment due to a malunited calcaneal fracture. This technique has advantages of ensuring a reliable resolution with good clinical outcomes and produces fewer postoperative complications. Clinical significance Malunion is a common complication with calcaneal fracture. It affects normal function. In malunited calcaneal fractures, the lateral wall of the calcaneum forms a lateral wall exostosis that causes both subfibular impingement and peroneal tendinopathy or displacement. There is need for a viable treatment option for malunions with lateral wall exostosis after calcaneal fractures. This study describes a surgical technique as a solution for the above.

The treatment gap between conservative management and total knee arthroplasty may leave patients with moderate cases of knee osteoarthritis (OA) without an ideal treatment option. The KineSpring® Knee Implant System may be a viable treatment option to fill the treatment gap for patients with knee OA who are not willing or inappropriate candidates for total knee arthroplasty, yet do not demonstrate relief with conservative treatments. This current paper reports a series of patients who received the KineSpring System and were followed for five years. Twelve patients were included in the case series. All 12 patients were diagnosed with symptomatic OA of the medial compartment of the knee. Pain and functional problems associated with OA improved with treatment using the KineSpring System. Furthermore, these improvements were seen over the course of five years. The findings of this study show the KineSpring System as a promising intervention for early-onset OA and warrant further investigation regarding its effectiveness.

Major resections of the tongue have not been commonly performed in animals because of concerns about the unfavorable postoperative effects of diminished lingual function. Five dogs were retrospectively reviewed to determine prehensile function and quality of life after glossectomies. Examinations were performed 1 week to 8 years after glossectomy, and owner interviews were conducted 10 months to 8 years after the surgery. All five dogs had acceptable and functional outcomes. Based on these five cases, glossectomy was well tolerated by dogs and may be a viable treatment option for aggressive tongue tumors and other conditions that render the tongue unsalvageable.
