Objective To analyze the anatomical relationship between maxillary premolars and the alveolar bone and maxillary sinus using cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT),in order to provide an anatomical basis for immediate implant placement in maxillary premolars.Methods Data from 351 patients who underwent maxillary CBCT imaging at Yancheng Stomatological Hospital between January 2022 and December 2023 were collected.Measurements included the vertical distance between premolar roots and the maxillary sinus floor,intraosseous root length,angle between the tooth axis and alveolar bone axis,and buccal/palatal bone wall thickness,with comparisons of gender differences.Results The median vertical distance between single-rooted maxillary first premolars and the maxil-lary sinus floor was 10.16 mm,while that for second premolars was 4.61 mm.For double-rooted first premolars,the buccal root dis-tance was(4.13±3.99)mm and the palatal root was(5.14±3.94)mm.Maxillary first premolars were farther from the maxillary sinus floor than maxillary second premolars,with palatal roots farther than buccal roots.The intraosseous root length of maxillary first premo-lars was(9.20±1.44)mum,and maxillary second premolars(9.64±2.04)mm.Maxillary first premolars exhibited significantly shorter intraosseous root length than maxillary second premolars.The angle α between tooth axis and alveolar bone axis was 18.89°±6.33° for maxillary first premolars,and 12.65°±6.10° for maxillary second premolars,showing statistically significant differences.The buccal bone wall thickness of maxillary first premolars gradually decreased from 2 mm subcrest to the apex,while palatal bone walls of maxil-lary first premolars and both buccal/palatal walls of maxillary second premolars progressively thickened from 2 mm subcrest to the apex.Significant correlations were identified between angle α and buccopalatal bone wall thickness at mid-root and the apex:increased α cor-responded with reduced buccal wall thickness and enhanced palatal wall thickness.Conclusion The apical region of maxillary first premolars provides sufficient bone volume for primary stability in immediate implantation,though the thin buccal bone wall necessitates careful consideration of implant shape and positioning.Maxillary second premolar roots are closely adjacent to the maxillary sinus floor,requiring implant stabilization with the sinus floor cortical bone or me-siodistal walls of the extraction socket.

Objective:To systematically evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of oxcarbazepine and carbamazepine in the treatment of vestibular paroxysmia (VP).Methods:Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of oxcarbazepine versus carbamazepine in the treatment of VP, in which the outcome measures included response rate, visual analogue scale for vertigo and the attack frequency, and incidence of adverse events/reactions were collected by searching relevant databases at home and abroad (up to March 2023). The Cochrane Collaboration′s tool for assessing risk of bias was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. The effect sizes of counting data were odds ratio ( OR) and its 95% confidence interval ( CI), and those of the measurement data were mean difference ( MD) and its 95% CI. Results:A total of 7 RCTs and 476 patients were entered in the analysis, including 236 in the oxcarbazepine group and 240 in the carbamazepine group. Meta analysis showed that there were no significant differences in the total effective rate of oxcarbazepine and carbamazepine in the treatment of VP [85.7% (168/196) vs. 85.0% (170/200), OR=1.07, 95% CI: 0.61-1.86], the decrease of visual analogue scale for vertigo after treatment ( MD=0.40, 95% CI: -0.52-1.32) or the reduction of vertigo frequency after treatment ( MD=1.15, 95% CI:-1.78-4.08). However, compared to the carbamazepine group, the overall incidence of adverse events/reactions, the incidence of dizziness/ataxia, and incidence of nausea/vomiting in oxcarbazepine group was significantly lower [13.6% (32/236) vs. 30.8% (74/240), OR=0.34, 95% CI: 0.22-0.55, P<0.001; 2.1%(5/236) vs. 7.9%(19/240), OR=0.32, 95% CI: 0.13-0.76, P=0.01; 2.4%(5/211) vs. 7.1%(15/211), OR=0.38, 95% CI: 0.15-0.95, P=0.04]. Conclusion:Oxcarbazepine and carbamazepine have similar efficacy in the treatment of VP, but oxcarbazepine has better safety with lower incidence of adverse reactions in the nervous system and digestive system.
