Pikos Institute Showcases Dental Implant Expertise at Edentulism2025
06/26/2025, Trinity, FL // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire // Dr. Michael A. Pikos, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, founder of Pikos Institute, and leader of its advanced dental implant course offerings, was joined by Dr. Safa Tahmasebi, prosthodontist, international implant educator and Pikos faculty, was a featured speaker at the prestigious Edentulism2025 International Conference on Advanced Dental Implantology. The event was held June 5–7 at the World Trade Center in Barcelona, Spain. Representing the Pikos Institute's evidence-based approach to full arch therapy, Dr. Pikos presented 'Zygomatic Implant Therapy Demystified: Hybrid vs Quad,' providing a comparative overview of two widely used zygoma configurations. His session focused on treatment planning nuances, anatomic considerations, and how to determine which approach yields the most predictable, long-term success based on individual patient needs. Dr. Tahmasebi followed with 'To Zygoma or Not to Zygoma? A Modern Approach to Severe Atrophy,' which challenged clinicians to rethink conventional assumptions around severe atrophy and emphasized that zygomatic implants are powerful tools - but not always the only answer. His presentation highlighted alternative strategies, including pterygoid implants, angulated posterior implants, and prosthetic-driven treatment planning. These sessions underscored the growing need for advanced training in zygomatic and pterygoid implant therapy as clinicians encounter more patients with insufficient bone volume and high expectations for esthetic, functional outcomes. 'Our goal is to simplify complexity,' said Dr. Pikos. 'We want clinicians to walk away not just knowing how to place zygomatic implants, but when they are the right choice - and how to deliver stable, aesthetic, long-term results for their patients.' 'Surgeons shouldn't feel like zygomas are the only answer for severe atrophy,' added Dr. Tahmasebi. 'There are times when pterygoid implants or advanced prosthetic planning provide better long-term outcomes. The key is understanding the full arch toolbox.'

Iranian TV Anchor Warns Thousands of American Soldiers Will Be Sent Home in 'Coffins' in Rebuke of Trump's Bombing
An Iranian television show host admonished the Trump administration for the attack on multiple Iranian nuclear facilities, warning that Washington would receive one coffin after another following the bombings. Mahdi Khanalizadeh, who hosts Iranian Channel 3, reacted to the bombings on Sunday, stating that President Donald Trump would receive American soldiers in coffins after Iran responds to the attacks. "We have total control over all the American military bases in the region. 40,000-50,000 American military personnel are in the line of fire of the Iranian military," he said, according to translations by Memri TV. "Now, all American personnel in the region, whether civilian or military, constitute legitimate targets," he continued. "You have chosen for the blood of your soldiers to be spilled. The President of the United States, the man in the Oval Office, chose to receive the coffins of 40,000-50,000 U.S. soldiers in Washington." His co-host, Amir-Hossein Tahmasebi, also chimed in, agreeing with his sentiments. "Our boundaries have been violated, and this will have consequences. The minimal consequences will be the bulldozing of the American bases in Qatar, in the UAE, in Manama, in Baghdad..." Tahmasebi said. "Wherever there are U.S. interests in West Asia and around the Persian Gulf – they constitute legitimate targets within the line of fire of our precision missiles." "Now, it's time for America to be defeated in the region. The war will be in our favor – with the result being 2:0 – with the next step being the annihilation of U.S. bases in the region, and the killing of the terrorist American personnel in the region," Khanalizadeh continued. "When I heard the Americans booing Bernie Sanders' speech, I felt sorry for them. In the next few weeks, these people will be carrying the coffins of their children, their spouses, and their brothers, and take them to church to have burial services there," Tahmasebi added. "One coffin after another, one C-130 airplane after another, will land at JFK Airport, unloading the coffins of U.S. soldiers." Trump announced that the U.S. had successfully struck three nuclear facilities in Iran during a national address he delivered from the White House on Saturday evening. Iran has since launched 10 missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar in retaliation. Originally published on Latin Times

Iranian TV Host Amir-Hossein Tahmasebi Advises Israelis to 'Hurry Up' and Learn How to Swim, Before Iran Completely Destroys Their Infrastructure: Crawl Back to the European Stables and Sties You Came
Iranian TV host Amir-Hossein Tahmasebi swore on Channel 3 (Iran) on June 19, 2025, that Iranians will turn Tel Aviv and Haifa into rubble and that they will do the same to any 'impure' country that collaborates with the Zionist regime. He declared that Iranians will be the ones to decide what happens in Israel, and he advised Israelis to look for a mouse hole to hide in and to start practicing swimming - suggesting they use YouTube to learn - before Iran completely destroys their infrastructure. Tahmasebi told Israelis to go back to 'the stable and sty they came from' in Europe, saying that they did not appreciate it in the past, but now they should hurry up and return to it.

Denver is slowly but steadily sinking, new study reveals
Despite being far from the coast, new research shows Denver is quietly sinking and ranks among the U.S. cities most affected by the slow-motion slide. Why it matters: Not only is the city losing elevation (meaning its Mile High City moniker may not last forever), but over time, land subsidence can crack foundations, warp roads and weaken flood defenses — especially as climate change intensifies extreme weather. Driving the news: In a peer-reviewed study published this month in Nature, researchers analyzed satellite radar data between 2015 and 2021 and found about 98% of Denver's land is sinking, with an average drop of over 2 millimeters (0.08 inches) per year. Some areas, especially in northeast and southeast Denver, are falling even faster. Threat level: A few millimeters a year means more than you might suspect. "The latent nature of this risk means that infrastructure can be silently compromised over time, with damage only becoming evident when it is severe or potentially catastrophic," researchers wrote. "This risk is often exacerbated in rapidly expanding urban centers." Yes, but: The good news is that Denver's buildings are, for now, at low risk of serious structural damage, according to the study. Only a very small fraction falls into high or very high-risk zones. The intrigue: Denver's drop is predominantly driven by natural forces, the study found. The region is still slowly responding to melting glaciers from the last Ice Age in a process called glacial isostatic adjustment. The big picture: The study found that 25 of the 28 most populous U.S. cities sit on sinking land, affecting more than 33 million people, or over 10% of the U.S. population. Unlike Denver, the primary cause of sinking across most of these locations — about 80% — is the pumping of groundwater for drinking and agriculture, researchers found. Denver was found to be one of the cities with the most widespread land subsidence, alongside Chicago, Dallas, Columbus, Detroit, Fort Worth, New York, Indianapolis, Houston and Charlotte. What they're saying: "Having detailed maps of ground movement as well as the information of what causes it can aid in designing policies," Pejman Tahmasebi, a subsidence researcher at the Colorado School of Mines, told the Washington Post. The findings could help shape smarter groundwater plans and more resilient infrastructure, Tahmasebi said. What's next: Researchers urge cities to factor subsidence into adaptation strategies, including zoning changes and green infrastructure, as well as raising roads or installing tide gates.
