ENDOSCOPIC VISUALIZATION OF ANATOMIC STRUCTURES AS A SUPPORT TOOL IN ORAL SURGERY AND IMPLANTOLOGY In reply
No full textEndoscopically Assisted Removal of a Lingually Displaced Third Molar Adjacent to the Inferior Alveolar Nerve
No full textBackground: Osteotomy of impacted lower third molars still represents a major trauma because of periosteal flap preparation and buccal bone loss. We present a new occlusal flapless approach for the removal of lingually impacted lower third molars adjacent to the inferior alveolar nerve without lateral or lingual osteotomy. Method: After occlusal exposure under local anesthesia, visualization of the third molar region is obtained from a posterior perspective using support endoscopy. Under magnifying endoscopic visualization, the crown is removed using an inward fragmentation technique. After exposure of the furcation area, the roots are separated and removed via the occlusal cavity. Conclusions: Endoscopically assisted removal of mandibular third molars allows the maintenance of the adjacent bone structures and the integrity of the mandibular canal. It is valuable in complex anatomic sites in particular
Sinus floor augmentation using miniscrew and in situ hardening biomaterial: method and case report
No full textSinus floor augmentation in case of severe pneumatization is a challenge for surgical management. We present a low invasive endoscopically assisted technique facilitating the stabilization of augmentation material in the subantral space. The technique consists of (1) trepanation of the lateral sinus wall with tunnelling of the sinus membrane and creation of the subantral space, (2) subantroscopically assisted insertion of a mini screw, (3) precise stepwise placement of in situ hardening graft material with antroscopic control. Based on a case example, details of the procedure are presented. The technique provides a minimally invasive treatment for difficult and instable augmentation sites

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
