Abstract

Purpose

To report a predictable minimally invasive Nd:YAG laser treatment for extensive epulis fissuratum that was discovered in faculty of dentistry, Alexandria University.

Background

A tumor-like hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue called epulis fissuratum appears in conjunction with an ill-fitting complete denture.

Case report

This is a case report of 66-years-old male patient who used a complete denture for 20 years. The lesion was removed with 1064 mm Nd:YAG laser (Lightwalker, Fotona). The setting parameters used were power 2 Watts, frequency 30 Hz, with 300 mm tip, in contact mode under infiltrative local anaesthesia. Follow-up period showed an appropriate healing with no recurrence.

Conclusion

Nd:YAG lasers offered rapid cutting, excellent hemostasis, coagulation, deeper penetration, and rapid healing with favourable outcomes.

Ärztinnen überholen Ärzte bei Praxisgründungen

Bei Praxisgründungen haben inzwischen die Frauen deutlich die Nase vorn: Seit zehn Jahren wagen laut apoBank mehr Ärztinnen als Ärzte den Schritt in die Selbstständigkeit. In puncto Finanzierung sind sie aber vorsichtiger als die männlichen Kollegen.

Ambulante Behandlung darf länger dauern als stationäre

Ambulante Behandlungen haben Vorrang vor stationären - auch wenn diese läner dauern. Das hat das Bundessozialgericht klargestellt. Konkret ging es um Liposuktionen der Ober- und Unterschenkel.

Tipps zum Schutz vor Mobbing

Gesundheitseinrichtungen bergen ein hohes Risiko für Schikanen im Job. Wie Betroffene damit umgehen und was Vorgesetzte tun sollten, erläutert die hessische Mobbingbeauftragte Yvonne Jäger.

Ab sofort gelten die neuen Verordnungsausnahmen für Lipidsenker

Freie Fahrt für Lipidsenker? Das nicht, doch mit niedrigerem Schwellenwert fürs Infarktrisiko und neuen Indikationen hat der G-BA die Verordnungs-Handbremse ein gutes Stück weit gelockert.
