The success rate of the implants placed with staged approach in augmented maxillary sinuses with the residual alveolar bone height of ≤3 mm was high in a 3-year term. Bio-Oss is an acceptable substitute autogenous bone and can be used as an augmentation material during the maxillary sinus lift procedure.

This paper indicates that DIAGNOdent readings are not reliable for the detection of early occlusal caries in young permanent teeth. SUMMARYObjective: The aim of this study was to compare the in vivo diagnostic ability of a laser fluorescence system (DIAGNOdent, KaVo, Biberac, Germany) with that of visual inspection in the early detection of occlusal caries in newly erupted noncavitated first permanent molars among caries-active children.
