Peri-implant keratinized mucosa (PIKM) augmentation refers to surgical procedures aimed at increasing the width of PIKM. Consensus reports emphasize the necessity of maintaining a minimum width of PIKM to ensure long-term peri-implant health. Currently, several surgical techniques have been validated for their effectiveness in increasing PIKM. However, the selection and application of PIKM augmentation methods may present challenges for dental practitioners due to heterogeneity in surgical techniques, variations in clinical scenarios, and anatomical differences. Therefore, clear guidelines and considerations for PIKM augmentation are needed. This expert consensus focuses on the commonly employed surgical techniques for PIKM augmentation and the factors influencing their selection at second-stage surgery. It aims to establish a standardized framework for assessing, planning, and executing PIKM augmentation procedures, with the goal of offering evidence-based guidance to enhance the predictability and success of PIKM augmentation.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of consolidated trunk muscle training on balance and motor function in patients with hemiplegia after stroke. Methods96 patients were divided into treatment group (48 cases) and control group (48 cases). All the patients received regularly rehabilitation, and the patients in the treatment group received the control ability training in the trunk muscle in addition. They were assessed with Trunk Control Test (TCT)， Berg Balance Scale (BBS)， Modified Barthel Index (MBI), Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and walking speed (WS) before and after the treatment. ResultsThe scores of TCT, BBS, FAC, MBI, WS and FMA improved significantly in both groups after treatment (P<0.01)， and improved more in the treatment group than in control group (P<0.05). The scores of TCT correlated with those of BBS, MBI, FAC, FMA, and WS (P<0.05). ConclusionThe consolidated trunk muscle training can obviously improve balance and motor function of stroke patients.

ObjectiveTo compare the effect of the rehabilitation in early and late stage postoperatively for the fractures of the elbow. MethodsAccording to the time the rehabilitation intervened, 57 cases were divided into the early group (29 cases) and the late group (28 cases). After systematic rehabilitation, the two groups were evaluated with Mayo Elbow-Performance and range of motion (ROM). The incidence of elbow disorder was compared between groups a year after fracture. ResultsThe Mayo scores (P＜0.01) and ROM (P＜0.05) improved more in the early groups than in the late groups, and the incidence of elbow disorder was less a year later (P＜0.05). ConclusionEarly postoperative rehabilitation for the fractures of the elbow joint could facilitate function restoration.

ObjectiveTo observe effects of early rehabilitation and hyperbaric oxygen treatments on stroke patients.Methods80 patients were randomly divided into rehabilitation group (40 cases) and control group (40 cases). Patients in rehabilitation group were treated with rehabilitation and hyperbaric oxygen treatments; patients in control group were treated only with hyperbaric oxygen treatment. The activities of daily living (ADL) were assessed by modified Barthel index (MBI), and the cognition function was measured by mimi-mental state examination (MMSE).ResultsAfter treatment the scores of MMSE and MBI of two groups increased (P<0.05) and scores of rehabilitation group were higher than that of control group (P<0.05); the process of scores in rehabibilitation group were obviously superior to that in control group (P<0.001).ConclusionEarly rehabilitation and hyperbaric oxygen treatments can obviously improve cognition function and ADL of stroke patients.
