Placing implants in the edentulous jaw of an individual with severe posterior mandibular atrophy is challenging due to the insufficient bone height above the inferior alveolar nerve canal. The different reconstruction techniques available cause extensive morbidity, are costly, and require prolonged treatments. In here we report a case series of patients treated with a new minimally invasive technique to facilitate implant placement in patients with severely atrophied posterior mandible.

ReviewBasal Cell and Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinomas: Diagnosis and Treatment.
Keratinocyte carcinoma, traditionally referred to as nonmelanoma skin cancer, includes basal cell and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and is the most common skin cancer malignancy found in humans. The U. S. ⋯ Topical imiquimod and fluorouracil are also treatment options for superficial basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma in situ. There are no clear guidelines for follow up after an index keratinocyte carcinoma, but monitoring for recurrence is important because the five-year risk of subsequent skin cancer is 41%. After more than one diagnosis, the five-year risk increases to 82%.
