Introduction: this article describes a method of evaluation of available alveolar bone dimensions and guided implant placement in a patient with the fabrication of diagnostic-surgical implant template. case report: We present a case of 37-year-old female patient with a missing tooth to be replaced with dental implant using guiding template. the diagnostic template was transformed into a surgical template for implant surgery. the method described is simple, enabling the practitioner to perform radiographic diagnosis and placing the implant precisely using surgical template. this helps in treatment planning and to assess available alveolar bone at the site of planned implant insertion. conclusion: this method is easy to follow; significant time and cost savings can therefore be realized by using this template to perform dental implant osteotomy. It provides adequate accuracy in terms of implant position, angulation and predictable treatment outcome.
Histology and histopathological knowledge are the basis for clinching an appropriate diagnosis. The characteristic features presented by tumours or tumour like conditions have a distinct picture of their own, and can be distinguished if viewed with an eagle's eye. The aim of this review is to take an appearanceoriented approach for ease of correlation with day to day objects and thus helping in mastering the art of diagnosis. This paper aims to provide a single, concise source of recognition for majority of head and neck tumours or tumour like conditions. Review emphasises on radiologic and histopathologic appearances.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
