We calculated a value per statistical life year of £60,000 per person in the United Kingdom ($75,510 in U.S. dollars). We found that in 2019, the estimated age-standardized incident rates, age-standardized death rates, and age-standardized disability-adjusted life years of plastic surgery-related conditions were 361.47 per 100,000, 19.5 per 100,000 and 551.0 per 100,000, respectively. Burn emerged as the leading contributor to the overall disease burden, accounting for 32%, followed by decubitus ulcer (21%) and breast cancer (17%). The economic burden of plastic surgery-related diseases in the United Kingdom amounted to £34.3 billion (43.2 billion in U.S. dollars) in 2019, exhibiting a steady increase from £19.6 billion (24.7 billion in U.S. dollars) in 1990. Plastic and reconstructive surgery-related diseases, primarily breast cancer, thermal burns, and malignant melanoma, impose a substantial burden on the U.K. health care system. These findings hold significant implications for national health care policy, funding allocation, and research prioritization.</p>","PeriodicalId":74460,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and aesthetic nursing","volume":"45 2","pages":"108-116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, when patients present with hypothyroidism, the feasibility of immediate placement of dental implants becomes uncertain. This case involved a hypothyroid woman in her late 60s with loose lower anterior teeth. We performed atraumatic extractions. Immediately after extraction, we implanted tilted implants into her lower posterior arch, which is an area with limited vertical bone height. In the anterior arch, which is characterized by thick, soft tissue, we implanted vertical implants. We used multiunit abutments in the anterior region to address hygiene and angulation issues. The final prosthesis comprised a porcelain-fused-to-metal screw-retained bridge with group function occlusion. These prostheses offer advantages compared with cement-retained prostheses, particularly with multiunit abutments that allow passive prosthetic fitting despite implant axis deviation. This approach strengthens the hemidesmosomal connection, reduces the need for repeated screwing and unscrewing, and promotes stability in the peri-implant tissues. This case underscores the clinical benefits of immediate implant placement and the advantages of using screw-retained prostheses in patients with hypothyroidism. Although extensive research has been conducted to analyze factors influencing the success of dental implants in individuals with hypothyroidism, ongoing debates persist in the literature. This case demonstrates successful implantation of dental implants in a patient with hypothyroidism.</p>","PeriodicalId":74460,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and aesthetic nursing","volume":"45 1","pages":"21-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142901019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
