Filter by:The design is a single blinded, dual comparative study of ultrasound versus micro-CT/LASCA in one study group. Up to a total of 140 subjects registered will be recruited. Subjects who are treatment planned for extraction of a hopeless tooth and socket augmentation with bone graft and are planned for a dental implant surgery. The socket will be evaluated before the extraction and multi-time points during healing until an implant is placed with various evaluation tools, including ultrasound.
Atrophied jaw is a condition where there is insufficient bone quantity to place root form implants. Several treatment plans are available for treating atrophied jaws, including subperiosteal implants. Subperiosteal implants were introduced in the last century. Poor clinical results led those implants to be progressively abandoned. Recently, several Authors suggested a revival of subperiosteal implants as an alternative to regenerative procedures.
Utilization of collagen vs PRF membrane over the graft following sinus lift procedure and before suturing
This study is being performed to compare different methods of visualization during routine gum surgery. The gum surgery is standard of care. This study will compare the use of a small camera (videoscope) in conjunction with magnification glasses during surgery vs. surgery only using magnification glasses. Both methods are routinely used and are standard of care methods of visualization. The small camera (videoscope) is a device which allows us to see the area under high magnification and projects live video feed on a computer screen. The study is a split-mouth design pilot study. The patients are only receiving treatment that was previously diagnosed prior to entering the study. The treatment performed is standard treatment that fits in the routine standard of care. No interventional treatment is being performed. The only difference is the method of visualization/observation by the practitioner used during the surgical procedure. One side of the mouth will be treated with just loupes while the other side of the mouth will be treated with loupes and the videoscope.
To compare the diagnostic accuracy of extra-oral x-rays with intra-oral x-rays, in contrast to clinically observed measurements, for the detection of calculus and bone loss of either the suprabony or infrabony types in patients undergoing periodontal surgery.
This prospective cohort study aims to investigate the relationship between mandibular canal trajectory and the duration of postoperative paresthesia in patients undergoing inferior alveolar nerve lateralization. The study will assess mandibular canal trajectory using anatomic factors and evaluate nerve sensory function using subjective and objective tests. Implant success criteria will also be assessed. The study will be conducted on patients who underwent IANL due to mandibular atrophy and were unable to receive standard or short implant placement. Data will be collected at regular follow-up visits up to 1-year post-surgery.
The aim of the research is to evaluate the clinical outcome of short dental implants, characterized by a new macro-structural design and inserted in the upper or lower jaw in patients with reduced bone volume. The clinical outcomes will be compared for different surface treatments of implant neck and those of prosthetic components.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test in height increment of alveolar bone and safety evaluation index. The main question it aims to answer are: • The safety and effectiveness of magnesium calcium silicate three-dimensional alveolar bone repair unit in the repair of periodontal bone defects Participants will be treated through Guided Bone Regeneration operation with calcium magnesium silicate three-dimensional alveolar bone repair unit.
Aim of the present investigation will be to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a granulate of rhBMP-2- loaded bovine bone mineral (rhBMP-2-BBM) as alveolar bone regeneration procedure following tooth extraction. Forty (40) patients (both sex; age 18 years and older) requiring extraction of one (1) hopeless tooth (incisor, canine or premolar with loss of bone height of 5 mm or more in buccal alveolar wall), followed by alveolar bone regeneration (ABR) and placement of an endosteal implant will be enrolled into the study. After exodontia, participants will be randomized and divided into two groups: in Experimental Group the socket will be grafted with rhBMP-2-BBM granules (1.0-0.25 mm); in Control Group the sockets will be grafted with Bio-Oss granules (1.0-0.25 mm) and covered with porcine collagen barrier membrane (Bio-Gide). The end of the study will be fixed at the implantation surgery, seventeen (17) weeks after exodontia an ABR. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans will be made, immediately after (0), and sixteen (16) weeks after exodontia an ABR and the gain in alveolar bone height will be estimated and used as the primary outcome for comparison of both groups. As secondary efficacy outcomes the change in alveolar bone width estimated from the CBCT scans; initial (0) and at seventeenth (17th) week after tooth extraction; the change in dental arch dimensions estimated from tridimensional models obtained from intraoral scans at one week before (-1) and sixteen (16) weeks exodontia an ABR; and the amounts of new bone, remnant material and connective tissue histomorphometrically measured in a bone biopsy collected during the implantation surgery at seventeenth (17th) week, will be considered. Healing of gingival tissues at first (1st) and second (2nd) week and incidence of adverse reactions at first (1st), second (2nd) and sixteenth (16th) week, are used as secondary safety outcomes.
Patients with long span, narrow edentulous ridge in the posterior mandible underwent piezotomed ridge splitting and osseodensification with simultaneous implant placement.
