Despite the high success rate, immediate implant placements have been challenged with unfavorable esthetic results because of the high prevalence of mid-facial mucosal recession. With the proposed guideline, potential mucosal changes could be prevented by comprehensive assessment and management. Soft tissue grafts could be used successfully to prevent or correct mid-facial mucosal recession following immediate implant placement, achieving predictable esthetic outcomes.

Nephropathology is a unique specialization in anatomic pathology, and a complete set of analyses comprising LM, IF, and TEM should always be considered. When performing a renal biopsy, few criteria should be encountered. First, the biopsy should be considered a procedure to improve therapy, and the biopsy should be done safely. An expert and specialized neuropathologist should evaluate the tissue sample to get the most informative description using all the methods required to characterize the pathological changes. The required methods for renal biopsy evaluation include special staining protocols for light microscopic (LM) evaluation, as well as for transmission electron microscopic (TEM) and immunofluorescence evaluations (IF).

Sinus elevation surgery has become a sought -after part of implant dentistry and procedures have evolved over the last 25 years to a point where sinus grafting surgery is considered one of the most successful augmentation procedures performed today with an excellent survival rate of implants placed in these grafts. The sinus elevation procedure is still evolving today due to the development of new surgical techniques and new biomimetic technologies.

The course will present, through interactive videos, sinus elevation surgery and possible alternatives to sinus elevation from planning to surgical execution. Curent evidence-based information will be presented.

It is no longer acceptable to see patients that have been scheduled by an Oral Surgeon or a Maxillo-facial Surgeon, maybe under general anesthesia, for an apicectomy to remove a cystic wall which does not need any removal. Too many times these surgeons take care of the removal of the inflamed tissue, put a bone graft in the bony lesion and the don’t even put any retrofilling material at the apex of the infected root canal!

Infectious bronchitis is an acute and highly contagious respiratory disease of chickens characterized by respiratory signs comprising gasping, coughing, sneezing, tracheal rales and nasal discharge. In addition, severe respiratory distress may occur in young chickens.
