   Abstract:	Loss of a large number of teeth in the lateral segment of the maxilla, either on one side or both, represents a challenging therapeutic procedure. Today the demands of the patient have increased with regard to fixed prosthetic treatment for lateral segments of edentia.Although lateral edentia can more easily be solved by a partial prosthesis or a cantilever bridge, dental implantology is now one of the solutions in the daily practice of the dentist. One of the most frequent problems in solving distal edentia of the maxilla by the use of dental implants is connected with the anatomic relations between the maxillary sinus and alveolar prolongation of the maxilla, i.e. the socalled deep recess of the maxillary sinus, or even the result of severe atrophy of the alveolar prolongation. Such situations do not facilitate insertion and good stabilisation of dental implants, and thus they narrow indications for fixed prosthetic work. With the development of dental implantology during the 1980s, a possible solution for this problem arose, by an operation to raise the floor of the sinus, which today is known as “sinuslifting”. Prospectively, operation techniques are diverse, as are also the different materials used in these operations. Sinuslifting is in fact a reconstructive surgical procedure, which with osteal implants or osteal restorations achieves the formation of bone on the floor of the maxillary sinus in the alveolar recess, where the dental implant will later be inserted. Today's technique is briefly described as the opening of the lateral osteal wall of the maxillary sinus, and this osseous fragment is twisted towards the interior of the sinus cavity and the resulting area (caudal third) filled with augmentation material. If there is sufficient height of the bone in the area of the floor of the sinus (4-5 mm) the implant can be carried out at the same time as sinuslifting, to ensure safe primary stabilisation of the dental implant.We present the case of a 33-year old patient with sinuslifting in the right segment of the maxilla, as preparation for dental implant. The patient already has osseointegrated implants in area 46 and 37.

   Abstract:	Only a successful cooperation of an oral surgeon and the pathologist can ensure a reliable diagnosis. The authors have analyzed operations performed during 1990 at outpatient clinic of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Zagreb, School of Dentistry. Clinical appearance of the disease and clinical diagnosis sometimes enable us to recognize the real nature of the disease. The clinical diagnosis in correlation with the histological diagnosis can be either denied or improved. The aim of this investigation was to correlate the clinical and the histological diagnosis and to find out the number of improvement. Material most often sent for histological examination was an operated cyst. Although the removed tissues were analyzed under different clinical diagnoses, approximately 70% of the clinical diagnoses corresponded to the histopathological findings. In one case the clinical diagnosis of benign lesion--hyperkeratosis-- was after histopathological examination find as carcinoma planocellulare. The authors recommend every part of the excised tissue to be sent for a histopathological examination.

   Title in English:	Postextraction complications and the choice of anesthesia
   Title in Croatian:	Utjecaj anestezije na pojavu postekstrakcijskih komplikacija
   Type of Article:	original scientific paper
   MeSH:	ANESTHESIA, DENTAL ANESTHESIA, GENERAL TOOTH EXTRACTION + adverse effects PAIN, POSTOPERATIVE ORAL HEMORRHAGE
   Abstract:	The aim of the investigation is to evaluate the dependence of the most frequent postextraction complications (pain, hemorrhage, hematoma, swelling and dry socket) in relation to the choice of anesthesia. The total of 447 teeth was extracted in 319 male and female persons between 11 and 80 years of age. The most important conclusion of the investigations is that vasoconstrictor in local anesthetic solutions does not influence the incidence of postextraction complications. Clot disturbance, higher incidence of dry socket and unpredicted time of pain appearance were found in the local anesthetic group with lower concentration of vasoconstrictor. Statistically significant difference between local and general anesthesia does not exist in relation to blood clot disturbances, although a great number of clot fails is evident in local anesthetic group. The pain intensity is lower when teeth extraction were performed under general anesthesia.
