AIM
The aim of this review was to evaluate the survival rate of axial and tilted implants in rehabilitation of edentulous jaws using all on four concept.
SETTING AND DESIGN
Systematic Review.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A literature review was performed in MEDLINE, PubMed Central (PMC), Google scholar, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Hand searches were conducted of the bibliographic of related journals and systematic reviews. A total of 380 articles were obtained from the intial screening process. Of these articles, 25 articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The authors performed evaluation of articles independently as well as data extraction and quality assessment.
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED
Qualitative analysis.
RESULTS
The major prosthetic complication was the fracture of the acrylic prosthesis. The mean cumulative survival rate of implants (72-132 months) were 94% to 98%. The prosthesis survival rate (12 months) was between 99% to 100%. The averaged bone loss was 1.3 ±0.4 mm (12-60 months). No Significant difference was found between survival rates of axial and tilted implants nor between maxilla and mandible.
CONCLUSION
All on four concept can be employed successfully in the edentulous patients with resorbed ridges while improving their quality of life and reducing morbidity. However,randomized clinical trials with large sampling size and long term follow up should be incorporated.

Review
Some 400 million people worldwide are currently infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV), and the infection is common in the Middle East. Another 170 million people around the globe presently live with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Both HBV and HCV represent a worldwide epidemic. Despite significant decline in the prevalence of HBV and HCV infection in Saudi Arabia, these viral diseases cause significant morbidity and mortality, and impose a great burden on the country's healthcare system. On the other hand, Saudi epidemiology studies have shown that the hepatitis A virus seroprevalence in the country has reduced considerably over the past two decades. The progress in mapping the epidemiological pattern of viral hepatitis in Saudi Arabia has not only aided our understanding of the disease, but has also exposed the small but relevant gaps in our identification of the intricate details concerning the disease's clinical expression. In this review, we aim to document the timeline of viral hepatitis epidemiology in Saudi Arabia, while summarizing the relevant published literature on the subject.

Review
Identifying patients with heart failure at high risk for poor outcomes is important for patient care, resource allocation, and process improvement. Although numerous risk models exist to predict mortality, hospitalization, and patient-reported health status, they are infrequently used for several reasons, including modest performance, lack of evidence to support routine clinical use, and barriers to implementation. Artificial intelligence has the potential to enhance the performance of risk prediction models, but has its own limitations and remains unproved.

Review
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a leading cause of death. The advent of the implantable cardioverter‑defibrillator (ICD) has revolutionized prevention of SCD in high‑risk patients with underlying cardiac diseases. However, several challenges remain. Identification of patients at risk who should receive an ICD is suboptimal, and the sole criterion applied in clinical practice is a severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction despite the fact that SCD occurs mostly in patients with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction. Additionally, the majority of patients that do receive the ICD will not benefit from the device at the end. Therefore, improved risk stratification approaches to guide selection of patients for ICD implantation are definitely needed. There are several novel features and developments in the field with the subcutaneous defibrillator being probably the most important one and having the potential to substantially influence clinical practice. The role of catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia, and particularly the potential to abolish the need for ICD implantation at least in selected patient groups, should be further defined. Internists and general practitioners play a significant role in the management of ICD patients, from identification of candidates for ICD implantation to early detection and appropriate treatment of complications.

Clinical Oral Investigations Mar 2022The present study compares the survival rates of 186 conventional and no-prep/minimally invasive porcelain veneers in 35 patients over a mean period of 9 years.
OBJECTIVES
The present study compares the survival rates of 186 conventional and no-prep/minimally invasive porcelain veneers in 35 patients over a mean period of 9 years.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The veneers were placed on the incisors, canines, and premolars in 35 patients between January 2009 and December 2010. Fourteen patients received 84 conventional veneers, and 21 patients received 102 no-prep/minimally invasive veneers. The restorations were evaluated at baseline and after every 6 months until June 2019 based on modified United States Public Health Service criteria. The data was analyzed by using Wilcoxon-Breslow-Gehan and Taron-Ware tests. Kaplan-Meier survival and success curves were plotted for two groups of veneers. The results were compared by using the log rank test. A test probability of P < .05 was regarded as significant, while a test probability of P < .01 was considered to be statistically significant.
RESULTS
The mean survival rate, according to the Kaplan-Meier estimator, was 9.67% for conventional veneers and 100% for the no-prep or minimal prep veneers. A total of ten absolute failures were observed in six patients: eight restoration chipping/fractures, one debonding, and one fracturing of the tooth. Mean success rate time for conventional veneers without absolute or relative failures was 9.32 years, and 10.28 years for no-prep/minimally invasive veneers.
CONCLUSIONS
Over a mean observation period of 9 years, the survival rate of no-prep/minimally invasive veneers exceed that of conventional veneers.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE
No-prep/minimally invasive veneers appear very effective and should always be considered in certain clinical situations.
