Long Term Follow Up

Objective: To evaluate the clinical relevance of neovascularisation at the saphenous ligation site. Design: Long-term follow-up after previous varicose vein surgery in a single patient group. Setting: Vascular clinic of a university hospital. Patients: Eighty-two patients (106 limbs) with a mean follow-up period of 56 months after correct saphenous ligation were submitted to duplex scanning. Intervention: Clinical assessment and colour duplex scanning of all the operated limbs. Reintervention in 15 limbs with perioperative evaluation of recurrent veins. Main outcome measures: Limbs with and without recurrent varicose veins were classified according to the degree of neovascularisation: grade 0 = no new communicating veins, grade 1 = tiny new vein with diameter <4 mm, grade 2 = new communicating vein with diameter >4 mm and pathological reflux. On reintervention the presence of neovascular veins at the site of the previous ligation was checked. Results: In 68 limbs without recurrent varicose veins, grade 0 was observed in 50 limbs (74%), grade 1 in 12 limbs (18%) and grade 2 in six limbs (9%). In 38 limbs with recurrent varicose veins, grade 0 was diagnosed in eight limbs (21%), grade 1 in four limbs (11%) and grade 2 in 26 limbs (68%). In 15 limbs with recurrent varicose veins and grade 2 neovascularisation, reintervention confirmed the duplex findings. Conclusions: The presence of grade 2 neovascularisation was associated with the recurrence of varicose veins, suggesting a causal relationship.

Amalgam Restorations

The use of resin composite for routine restoration of cavities in posterior teeth is now commonplace, and will increase further following the Minamata Agreement and patient requests for tooth-coloured restorations in their posterior teeth. It is therefore relevant to evaluate the published survival rates of such restorations. A Medline search identified 144 possible studies, this being reduced to 24 when inclusion criteria were introduced. Of these, ten directly compared amalgam and composite, eight were cohort studies, and six were systematic reviews. It was concluded that posterior composites may provide restorations of satisfactory longevity and with survival rates generally similar to those published on amalgam restorations. However, the ability of the operator in placing the restoration may have a profound effect. CPD/Clinical Relevance: With the increasing use of composite for restorations in posterior teeth, it is relevant to note that these may provide good rates for survival.

Where suitable, dental implants are praised as a method of providing fixed solutions with good longevity, and providing greatly improved retention for removable prostheses, resulting in increased levels of patient satisfaction and quality of life. However, with increasing evidence of long-term follow-up, there is a growing recognition of the susceptibility of dental implants to peri-implant diseases; peri-mucositis and peri-implantitis. This paper discusses the features of peri-implant disease and important aspects of assessment criteria. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This paper highlights the importance of supportive maintenance care for patients with dental implants, as well as the features and assessment of peri-implant disease.

Full-coverage restorations represent a well-known rehabilitation strategy for compromised posterior teeth; in the last years, new ceramic materials like zirconia have been introduced and widely adopted for the prosthetic management of molar and premolar areas. A long-term follow-up of a maxillary premolar rehabilitation using a veneered zirconia crown is presented; after ten years of uneventful clinical service of the tooth-restoration complex, a serious complication—namely, a vertical root fracture (VRF)—occurred. An extended time lapse (9 years) between the end of restorative procedures and development of symptoms due to VRF has been observed. On the other hand, a complete functional and esthetic integrity of the zirconia crown (without chippings or crack development) is documented along the follow-up period. Due to periodontal breakdown and severity of fracture, the premolar was extracted. The illustrations of our late failure, aetiological factors, and available data on the literature regarding VRF are addressed. Patients and clinicians should be aware of potential occurrences of some long-term, serious complications when dealing with previously treated and/or structurally weakened teeth. The development of a VRF might be unexpected and might occur many years after the end of tooth rehabilitation, despite adoption of contemporary restorative protocols and techniques.
