Aim To compare soft tissue dimensional changes and relative differences in soft and hard tissue volumes 4 months after single-tooth extraction and three different treatment modalities: spontaneous healing (SH) and alveolar ridge preservation by means of a deproteinized bovine bone mineral and a collagen matrix, with (IMPL/DBBM/CM) or without (DBBM/CM) immediate implant placement. Materials and methods STL files from study casts obtained at baseline and after 4 months were matched to calculate buccal soft tissue linear and volumetric changes. DICOM files from CBCTs were superimposed to STL files allowing the evaluation of soft tissue thickness at baseline and 4 months. Results Mean horizontal reduction accounted for 1.46 ± 0.20 (SH), 0.85 ± 0.38 (DBBM-CM) and 0.84 ± 0.30 IMPL/DBBM-CM, with no statistical differences. Soft tissue thickness had a significant mean increase of 0.95 for SH group, compared to a non-significant mean decrease for DBBM-CM (0.20) and IMPL/DBBM-CM groups (0.07). Conclusion A preservation technique with DBBM-CM, with or without immediate implant placement, did not reduce the horizontal linear and volumetric changes at the buccal soft tissue profile significantly at 4 months after tooth extraction when compared to spontaneous healing. This is due to a significant increase in soft tissue thickness in spontaneously healing sites.

The SOCEUS survey aims to evaluate how contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is effectively used in the focal liver lesions characterization.In the survey were involved Verona, Brescia and Trieste Radiological Centers and Arezzo and Bologna Non-radiological Centers. Inclusion criteria were liver focal lesion detection at conventional ultrasound and studied by means of CEUS, with or without CT or MRI examinations, done previous or subsequent to CEUS.1069 forms were collected. Patients with benign lesions, who did not undergo any other studies, were 255/561 (45.5 %). Among patients with diagnosis of hemangioma at CEUS, those who had no other investigations were 129/267 (48.3 %). Patients with malignant lesions who had studies pre-CEUS (CT and/or MRI) were 328/508 (65 %), whereas those who had examinations post-CEUS (CT and/or MRI) were 218/508 (42.9 %). Concordance rate between CEUS and CT investigations pre- and post-CEUS was, respectively, 66 and 89 %. Concordance rate between CEUS and MRI studies pre- and post-CEUS was, respectively, 87.5 and 81.5 %.This study proves contrast-enhanced ultrasound correct application in the involved centers.Il sondaggio SOCEUS ha lo scopo di valutare come l’ecografia con mezzo di contrasto sia effettivamente impiegata nella caratterizzazione delle lesioni focali epatiche.Nel sondaggio sono tati coinvolti i centri radiologici di Verona, Brescia e Trieste e i centri non radiologici di Arezzo e Bologna. I criteri di inclusione sono stati la presenza di lesione focale epatica all’esame ecografico convenzionale studiata con ecografia con mezzo di contrasto, con o senza correlazione TC or RM, prima o dopo l’esame ecografico.Sono state raccolte 1069 schede. I pazienti con lesioni benigne che non hanno fatto altri esami sono stati 255/561 (45.5 %). Dei pazienti con diagnosi di angioma alla ecografia con mezzo di contrasto, quelli che non hanno eseguito altre indagini sono stati 129/267 (48.3 %). I pazienti con lesioni maligne sottoposti ad indagini pre-ecografia con mezzo di contrasto (TC e/o RM) sono stati 328/508 (65 %), mentre quelli che hanno eseguito esami post- ecografia con mezzo di contrasto (TC e/o RM) sono stati 218/508 (42.9 %). La concordanza tra ecografia con mezzo di contrasto ed esame TC pre- e post-ecografia con mezzo di contrasto sono rispettivamente state pari al 66 e 89 %. La concordanza tra l’ecografia con mezzo di contrasto e l’esame RM pre- e post-ecografia con mezzo di contrasto sono state rispettivamente di 87.5 e 81.5 %.Lo studio prova che l’ecografia con mezzo di contrasto è utilizzata correttamente nei Centri valutati.
