Research paper thumbnail of The beginning of a new era in bone surgery Effectiveness and clinical application of a cold-ablation and robot-guided laser osteotome

Daher wurden im Wetlab Dummy-Tests für die Ergonomie-und Kadavertests für die Simulation "realer" Operationen im Bereich der Mund-, Kiefer-und Gesichtsheilkunde durchgeführt. Es wurden verschiedene makroretentive Osteotomiemuster in Ober-und Unterkiefern durchgeführt wurden. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass unser Prototyp Vorteile gegenüber dem Stand der heutigen Tools aufweist, z. B. weniger Knochenverlust, präzise und in Echtzeit navigierte Ausführung von vordefinierten Geometrien von frei gewählten Schnittmustern. Dank der freien Wahl an verschiedenen Schnittmustern sehen wir eine weitere Einsatzmöglichkeit des Prototyps in der Craniosynostose Chirurgie. Wir führten eine Finite Element Method Untersuchung durch, um unvollständige Osteotomien auf der Innenseite eines virtuell rekonstruierten Knochendeckels zu simulieren, um die Verformung des Knochens zu erleichtern. Mit diesen biomechanischen Analysen wurden Grundkenntnisse über das beste Verhältnis zwischen Belastung und Kraft zu erlangen, um eine beste mögliche Vergrösserung der projizierten Knochenoberfläche zu erhalten. Schlussendlich steht eine multizentrische Studie am Menschen für die klinische Einführung des Prototyps bereit, um weitere Erfahrungen und Informationen für die zukünftige Arbeit zu sammeln.

Zadatak je bio procijeniti njegovu razinu u plazmi nakon intramuskularne primjene u mišić bukcinator u odnosu prema razini nakon inhalacije. Ispitanici i postupci: U ovom eksperimentalnom istraživanju na ljudima mjerile su se koncentracije epinefrina prije intramuskularne primjene ili inhalacije te nakon njih, uz intramuskularnu injekciju fiziološke otopine te intravenoznu primjenu epinefrina kao negativnu i pozitivnu kontrolu. Rezultati: Najviše vrijednosti bile su nakon intramuskularne primjene -maksimalna razina u plazmi iznosila je 3367,2 pg/ml. Nakon inhalacije epinefrina razina je bila 151,89 pg/ml. Zaključak: U slučaju respiratornog poremećaja, ako je uzrok anafilaksija, može biti korisn...

Beschrieben wird der Fall eines Patienten, der von seinem Hauszahnarzt zur Entfernung einer abgebrochenen Nadelspitze uberwiesen wurde. Fur diese Art von Zwischenfall werden verschiedene Ursachen diskutiert, zum Nadelbruch kommt es jedoch vielfach, weil eine fur die jeweilige Anatomie zu kurze und zu dunne Injektionsnadel verwendet wird. Ausschlaggebend fur eine minimalinvasive Entfernung der abgebrochenen Nadelspitze ist eine exakte pra- und intraoperative Lokalisierung. Im vorliegenden Fall konnte dies mittels Computertomographie und Durchleuchtung erreicht werden. Der Leser erhalt einen Uberblick uber die Verhaltensmasnahmen vor und wahrend einer Injektion sowie uber das Vorgehen bei Eintreten einer solchen Komplikation.

Research paper thumbnail of La rotura de agujas como complicación de la anestesia de conducción intraoral en la mandíbula

Se describe el caso de un paciente remitido por su odontologo de cabecera a nuestro centro para la extraccion de una punta de aguja fracturada. Se barajan diversas causas para este tipo de incidentes, pero en muchos casos, la rotura de la aguja se debe al uso de agujas demasiado cortas o demasiado finas para unas condiciones anatomicas determinadas. Un aspecto esencial para la extraccion minimamente invasiva de la punta fracturada es la localizacion preoperatoria e intraoperatoria exacta. En este caso, se localizo el objeto mediante una tomografia computarizada y una fluoroscopia. Se ofrece al lector una perspectiva global de las medidas que tomar antes y durante la inyeccion, asi como la forma de proceder en caso de hallarse ante una complicacion de este tipo.

Research paper thumbnail of Facial Swelling in a Toddler Due to a Metastatic High-Risk Neuroblastoma

Journal of dentistry for children, 2020

Neuroblastoma is a malignant embryonal tumor derived from the neural crest cells of the sympathet... more Neuroblastoma is a malignant embryonal tumor derived from the neural crest cells of the sympathetic nervous system. Curative therapy is challenging, especially because early-stage diagnosis in toddlers is difficult. Successful treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma is only achieved in approximately half of the cases and requires an immediate interdisciplinary approach. We present a 34-month-old toddler with swelling of the left side of the face of three days duration and a mandibular mass of unknown duration, which was diagnosed as a metastasis of a neuroblastoma. He also had metastases in the kidney, long bones and skull. Despite the poor prognosis in cases of disseminated skeletal involvement and N-myc amplification, the young patient remained free of recurrence during a follow-up period of 36 months after multidisciplinary treatment. The purpose of this case report is to increase awareness of the clinical features of neuroblastoma among pediatric dentists to support early-stage dia...

A pulse oximeter measured the heart rate and the oxygen saturation. The results demonstrated, that the maximum heart rate was higher with the intraosseous injection (average 14.6 beats/min increase) during 1.5-2 minutes, but there was no depression of the oxygen saturation. The wound healing was uneventful. We registered five non-responders which were treated additionally with 1.3 ml of Ubistesin forte terminal anesthesia. For all patients the IOA was unpleasant similar to a "normal" anesthesia. Success of the intraosseous injection was 9...

Research paper thumbnail of Cold Ablation Robot-Guided Laser Osteotome (CARLO®): From Bench to Bedside

We present our experiences of the first-in-man use of the Cold Ablation Robot-guided Laser Osteotome (CARLO®). Methods: The CARLO® device employs a stand-alone 2.94-µm erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser mounted on a robotic arm. A 19-year-old patient provided informed consent to undergo bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. A linear Le Fort I midface osteotomy was digitally planned and transferred to the CARLO® device. The linear part of the Le Fort I osteotomy was performed autonomously by the CARLO® device under direct visual control. All pre-, intra-, and postoperative technical difficulties and safety issues were ...

Research paper thumbnail of Imaging in Patients with Bisphosphonate-Associated Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (MRONJ)

During recent decades, major advances in diagnostics have occurred. Once the clinical picture shows typical MRONJ features, imaging is necessary to determine the size of the lesion. Exposed bone is not always painful, therefore a thorough clinical examination and radiological imaging are essential when MRONJ is suspected. Methods: In this paper we will present the latest clinical update on the imaging options in regard to MRONJ: X-ray/Panoramic Radiograph, Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Nuclear Imaging, Fluorescence-Guided Bone Resection. Conclusion: Which image modality is chosen depends not only on the surgeon's/practitioner's preference but also on the available imaging modalities. A three-dimensional imaging modality is desirable, and in severe cases necessary, for extended resections and planning of reconstruction.
