Objective: Observational studies are essential for ensuring patient safety, decreasing complications, and developing better surgical techniques and implants. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of Sebbin breast implants in both augmentation and reconstruction cohorts. Methods: This prospective, multicenter, observational 10-year study conducted in Franc...

The accuracy of surgical drilling guides was assessed for placement of zygoma implants. Six zygoma fixtures of length 45 mm (Nobel Biocare, Göteborg, Sweden) were placed in three formalin-fixed human cadavers using surgical drilling guides. The fabrication of these custom-made drilling guides was based on three-dimensional computerized tomography (3D-CT) data for the maxillary-zygomatic complex...

IntroductIon: There are an estimated 10 million women worldwide with breast implants and over 550,000 implants placed per year in the United States. Breast implantassociated anaplastic largecell lymphoma (BI-­ ALCL) is a distinctive type of Tcell lymphoma that arises around breast implants. Although rare, all cases of BI-­ ALCL with adequate surgical history have involved a textured breast pros...

Custom knee implants and patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) have been developed as alternatives to off-theshelf implants and conventional cutting guides for joint arthroplasty. Custom implants and patient-specific cutting guides are constructed with the aid of preoperative 3-dimensional computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and proprietary planning software. The...

Immediate implants have the advantages of few surgical exposures, short treatment time, and maintenance of alveolar bone height and width. The purpose of this study was to compare immediate implants with conventional implants (implants placed into ossified extraction sites) in adult monkeys. Forty-eight implants were placed and allowed to heal for a 6-month period. Following a 7-month loading p...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to critically compare the various glaucoma drainage implants in popular use. RECENT FINDINGS Glaucoma drainage implants are being increasingly utilized in the surgical management of glaucoma. Comparisons between the various drainage implants are difficult because most clinical data are derived from retrospective studies with different study popu...

When dental implants were first introduced, the emphasis for long-term success was on the surgical phase of treatment. Subsequently, the emphasis changed from a focus on the surgical technique to proper fixture placement, which would be dictated by the prosthetic and aesthetic needs of each patient. In more recent years, implant maintenance and effective patient home care have been emphasized a...

A surgical technique for the placement of titanium screw-type implants (Brånemark system) in the pterygomaxillary-pyramidal region is presented. The correct direction, location, and length of the implant is decided during surgery. Cylindric osteotomes are used as bone-site formers, thus minimizing the use of drills in bone preparation. This not only conserves bone, but greatly reduces the poten...

Surgical robotics with navigation has the potential to improve the accuracy of unicondylar knee replacement. Precision freehand sculpting tools allow the surgeon to accurately execute their surgical plan. A controlled study comparing the planned and final placement of uni compartmental knee replacement implants in nine cadavers. A quantitative assessment analysed the translation and rotational ...
