Bone reduction and shelf preparation is a common procedure to establish a new alveolar plane before implant surgery, which might effect the primary stability. ⋯ IT and RFA are not influenced by bone reduction, shelf preparation, or the implant surface. Primary stability is mostly affected by bone density in the immediate load of 4 implants to support a full-arch prosthesis.

This experimental study was designed to test the hypothesis that ondansetron, a selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, would decrease the duration of motor, sensory, and proprioception blockade in a dose-dependent fashion in a bupivacaine-induced sciatic nerve blockade. ⋯ This is the first study showing that perineural ondansetron administration (800 μg dose) reverses the effect of the local anesthetics and shortens the duration of the motor, sensory, and proprioception functions blockade.
