Bone volume available for dental implant placement in the posterior maxilla is frequently reduced by maxillary sinus expansion and resorption of the alveolar ridge following tooth loss. Internal bone augmentation of the sinus floor is routinely performed by elevation of the maxillary sinus membrane via a lateral or transcrestal approach. The key issue in minimally invasive transcrestal techniques is the avoidance of membrane perforation in the course of osteotomy and membrane elevation. Novel devices to reduce the risk of membrane perforation have been recently developed and pro- tected by patents. The present review presents recent sinus membrane elevation techniques (balloon-mediated elevation, hydraulic injection, gel-pressure technique) as well as new approaches to prevent sinus membrane perforation during tran- screstal osteotomy (lasers, piezoelectric devices, auto-stop drills). The overview of patented designs is supplemented by an outlook on future surgical techniques and technical possibilities in transcrestal sinus floor augmentation surgery.

This review focuses on recent innovations and patents with the aim to allow people with movement disorders to control their environment. This particularly includes different technologies for input devices to control computers and other electronic equipment used by persons with movement disorders, enabling the empowerment of this user group. The control of such devices can be the key to social inclusion and mean improved social contact with others, access of information or possibility to work. In this paper, several patents and innovations are described that enable such control, divided into the groups; Input devices in form of switches and touchscreens, Inertia and inclinometer sensors, Voice control and Gesture control. Also methods allowing monitoring and classification of physical activity, i.e. assisting to alarm in case of a fall and systems assisting in rehabilitation at home, are included, as are video games aimed to promote physical activity.
