Placement of implants in distraction osteogenesis: a pilot study in dogs.

This study investigated the possibility of achieving osseointegration of implants placed in a distracted site during the consolidation period. Four healthy male mongrel dogs were used in this experiment. A subperiosteal corticotomy around the mandible was performed between the left mandibular premolar and first molar. After a 7-day latency period for soft tissue healing, the distraction was performed at the rate of 1 mm per day for 14 consecutive days to allow for 14 mm of elongation, using an extraoral distraction device. Three weeks after the completion of distraction, screw-type implants were placed in the distracted site. Twenty-four weeks after placement of the implants, they were stable, and osseointegration had been achieved physically, radiographically, and histologically. These results suggest the possibility of shortening the period of implant treatment by using the distraction osteogenesis technique.

Minute hepatocellular carcinoma originating in the caudate lobe with a long-term surviving of 9 years 6 months after surgical resection: a case report.

An extremely rare case of minute hepatocellular carcinoma originating in the caudate lobe who was resected and surviving for 9 years 6 months is presented. A 52 year-old male patient was diagnosed as having a minute hepatocellular carcinoma originating in the caudate lobe by lipiodol computed tomography and celiac angiography. Although the caudate lobectomy was successfully performed, refractory ascites developed for 4 months after surgical procedure. After remission of ascites, the patient is well and surviving for 9 years 6 months without recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma. This case suggests that early detection and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma can lead to a long-term survival even when the caudate lobe of the liver is involved.

A Japanese multicenter study of osseointegrated implants placed in irradiated tissues: a preliminary report.

A survey was undertaken to analyze implants placed in irradiated tissues. It was found that nine centers had placed 118 implants in 24 patients in Japan. Of 118 implants, 39 were in the maxilla, 71 were in the mandible, and 8 were in the orbital region. Seven patients underwent adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen treatment. The treatment decreased implant loss only in the maxilla. (The success rate without hyperbaric oxygen treatment was 62.5%, and that with hyperbaric oxygen treatment was 80.0% for the maxilla.) Implants 7 and 10 mm in length were at a greater risk of being lost than longer implants in the maxilla.
