Quality of hospital medicine care in Veterans Affairs hospitals versus non‐Veterans Affairs hospitals: A systematic review of comparative studies

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The Veterans Health Administration (VA) cares for more than one million hospitalized Veterans each year. There is limited knowledge on how hospital medicine care in VA facilities compares with non‐VA hospitals in terms of the Institute of Medicine domains of healthcare access, patient experience, quality, clinical outcomes, and cost.

Deep learning cone‐beam computed tomography image segmentation for the 3D visualization of mandibular infraosseous periodontal defects

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The accurate assessment of infraosseous periodontal defects is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment planning. Cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) enables detailed imaging of these defects; however, to leverage their full potential, CBCT images must be reconstructed in 3 dimensions (3D).

Are the detection and dimensions of peri‐implant buccal bone defects influenced by different implant materials and their location? An experimental cone‐beam computed tomography study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of different implant materials and arrangements within the field of view (FOV) and exomass on the diagnostic accuracy and image quality of cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) for the detection of peri‐implant buccal bone defects of various sizes. Methods A total of 120 CBCT scans with

Biomaterial used to counteract ridge reduction following the removal of adjacent teeth: A randomized controlled multicenter study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Alveolar ridge resorption (ARP) is a well‐recognized consequence of tooth extraction, and multiple adjacent extractions may lead to greater ridge reduction than single‐tooth extractions. This multicenter randomized controlled trial aimed to assess ridge remodeling after removing 2 adjacent teeth and whether socket grafting with ...

The effect of bioactive membrane in alveolar ridge preservation: A double‐blind randomized clinical trial

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) with or without a biologically active amnion–chorion membrane (BACM). Methods Thirty patients requiring tooth extraction in the esthetic zone were randomly assigned to 2 groups.
