Expasyl is a hemostatic paste used for gingival retraction that provides effective retraction with minimal pressure, reducing risk of tissue damage and increasing patient comfort compared to traditional retraction cords. It is extruded directly into the sulcus rather than pressed in, retracting tissue gently. Expasyl controls bleeding and provides a clean, dry field for impressions. Studies show it is highly effective at retraction and hemostasis with minimal trauma to soft tissues.
This document provides information on continuing education and discusses Expasyl, a material for soft tissue management in restorative dentistry. It can be used for procedures like sulcus opening, hemostasis, and gingival retraction before impressions or restorations. The document outlines the objectives, history of use, indications, application protocol, equipment needed, and storage instructions for Expasyl.
This case report describes the placement of 12 dental implants immediately following extraction of teeth with periapical infections. The infected extraction sockets were thoroughly debrided and treated with antibiotics prior to implant placement. Patients were followed for 3 months, during which no implants failed and peri-implant complications were absent. The authors conclude that immediate dental implants can successfully integrate in infected sockets when proper debridement and antibiotic treatment are performed.

This document summarizes the market for obesity products and treatments. It discusses how the field is moving "back to basics" to better understand the physiological mechanisms behind obesity and weight loss. This new understanding may help develop more effective minimally invasive solutions. The US market for minimally invasive bariatric devices is expected to grow moderately over the next five years, reaching over $500 million by 2016, driven by factors like the growing obese population. However, current treatment options have only achieved limited success in treating obesity.

This study examined whether placing a biologic mesh during abdominal closure would reduce the risk of developing an incisional hernia compared to primary closure without mesh in high-risk patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery. The study found that patients who received a biologic mesh had a significantly lower rate of developing an incisional hernia (2.3%) compared to those without mesh (17.7%). After adjusting for risk factors, placement of a biologic mesh was found to significantly reduce the risk of hernia, while smoking significantly increased the risk. The study suggests prophylactic use of biologic mesh may help reduce incisional hernia rates in high-risk patients.
1. The document discusses endoluminal procedures for weight regain after gastric bypass surgery, including endoluminal gastric pouch reduction (EGPR) and the ROSE procedure.
2. EGPR uses fasteners to narrow the gastric pouch and stoma, resulting in 10-20% excess weight loss typically. The ROSE procedure uses sutures to create folds in the pouch and around the stoma.
3. Studies found these procedures produced 12-25% excess weight loss on average and resolved issues like diarrhea and heartburn in many patients. However, long-term durability is still unknown and behavioral factors impact success.
1) The document describes a prototype endoscopic suturing system that allows full-thickness suturing of the stomach wall for closure of openings (gastrotomies) during natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES).
2) In vitro tests on isolated pig stomachs showed the system could accurately place running sutures in a pursestring configuration to securely close an 18mm gastrotomy with no leaks.
3) Edge-to-edge closure of gastotomies was also achieved in a leak-proof manner during single intubations using the suturing system.
The OverStitch Endoscopic Suturing System provides physicians the ability to perform running or interrupted stitches within the GI tract. The system is comprised of an Endoscopic Suturing System handle, End Cap, Anchor Exchange, and choice of absorbable or non-absorbable sutures. It is intended for endoscopic placement of sutures to approximate soft tissue and works by delivering anchors and sutures through the endoscope to place stitches. The system is contraindicated for use with malignant tissue or when general endoscopic techniques are contraindicated.
The OverStitch Endoscopic Suturing System allows physicians to perform full-thickness endoscopic suturing through a flexible endoscope in a manner similar to hand suturing. It can deploy both running and interrupted stitches with a single insertion of the endoscope. The system mimics the motion of a curved surgical needle and is designed for controlled suture placement. It is a single-use device available with absorbable or non-absorbable suture materials.
The American Society of General Surgeons (ASGS) supports the use of transoral fundoplication by trained surgeons as a treatment for chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients who do not get satisfactory relief from proton pump inhibitors or who wish to avoid lifelong medication dependence. The ASGS believes transoral fundoplication adheres to the same surgical principles as traditional fundoplication techniques by creating a full thickness wrap of the stomach around the esophagus. The ASGS position is supported by peer-reviewed literature demonstrating transoral fundoplication offers comparable results to open and laparoscopic surgery, with high patient satisfaction and relief of GERD symptoms.
Three recent studies published over the past four months involving nearly 200 patients in total provide additional evidence of the positive outcomes of transoral fundoplication (TIF) for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The studies demonstrated a high therapeutic response rate with patients getting off daily proton pump inhibitors, significant response to objective reflux measurements, and a low complication rate of around 2%. The largest study to date involving 124 patients showed 75-80% of patients had normalized symptom scores and 97% were off daily PPI medications post-TIF. The growing body of clinical evidence supports TIF as a safe and effective alternative to traditional anti-reflux surgeries for appropriately selected GERD patients.
Endoluminal procedures like EGPR and ROSE aim to treat weight regain after gastric bypass through minimally invasive techniques. EGPR uses tissue fasteners to reduce the gastric pouch size and narrow the stoma, resulting in 15.5 lb weight loss on average in 6 months. ROSE uses expandable anchors to similarly reduce pouch size and stoma diameter, stopping weight regain in 88% of patients. Both procedures appear safe and can produce near 50% loss of regained weight, though long-term durability is still unknown. Success may depend on factors like a patient's initial weight loss after gastric bypass.
The document describes an intragastric balloon system called Heliosphere BAG for the non-surgical treatment of obesity. It is a temporary balloon that is placed in the stomach for up to 6 months. Clinical studies showed it helped patients lose 9-24 kg on average and had good tolerance, with vomiting lasting less than 3 days for most patients. The balloon uses a patented gold coating process to maintain inflation volume over time and make extraction easier.
This document provides instructions for the implantation and extraction of an intragastric balloon called Heliosphere for the non-surgical treatment of obesity. The implantation procedure involves visually guiding the deflated balloon through the esophagus using an endoscope, then inflating it with saline to a specific volume in the stomach. For extraction, the balloon is first deflated by puncturing it and aspirating the air, then caught and pulled out through the esophagus using grasping forceps under endoscopic guidance. Safety and careful technique are emphasized to gradually pass the balloon through the esophagus and cardia during extraction.
