Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare, the effect of letting the xenogeneic bone graft exposed to the oral environment or seal off the graft with a collagen matrix. Them main questions it aims to answer are: - The enhancement of soft tissue healing during the initial phases following immediate implant placement. - The secondary aim is to evaluate the dimensional alterations in hard tissues at immediately placed implants and different biomaterial protocol. It were selected patients with indication of flapless extraction in posterior teeth, which was placed immediate implant (n=28) and gap filling with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (Geistlich Bio-Oss®). In this study, participants were stratified into two randomized blocks, each corresponding to a distinct surgical technique: left exposed the graft to the oral environment or coverage with a collagen matrix (Geistlich Mucograft®). - Previously the extraction was performed the measurement of the keratinized gingiva, and after 04 months of implant placement. - The soft tissue healing was evaluated on days 02, 07, 30 days; by means of a blue-stained solution (methylene blue 0.05%) and standardized photograph. - In the same date from different healing times it was performed immunoenzymatic analysis of the levels of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), IL-1β (interleukin-1β) and FGF2 (fibroblast growth factor 2). - It was also be performed cone beam computed tomography images quantifying the soft and hard tissues thickness of the facial and lingual bone wall. The clinical trial examiner was blinded during the study period.
Lip support plays an important role in facial esthetics, being a relevant factor when realizing full arch implant supported rehabilitations. However, there is a lack of research on the three dimensional impact of such restorations.
Validation of the use of a facial scanner for assessment of modifications caused by the use of dental prostheses and determination of discrepancies related to conventional measurements with digital caliper.
A single-center, observational, prospective, single cohort study with before-after design. Evaluation by shear-wave elastography, measured in kilopascals (KPa), of the muscle, tendon and cubital nerve, before and after the maneuver of putting in tension of the ulnar nerve.
Lack of keratinised mucosa around dental implants and teeth is associated with plaque accumulation and worse tissue conditions. However, there is lack of data on the influence of the presence/lack of keratinised mucosa on the periodontal condition. Hence, soft tissue conditioning by grafting with a gingival graft is aimed at improving the quality of the peri-implant conditions
Six patients with a single unit implant in the anterior maxilla (from premolar to premolar), after at least 3 months with provisional implant supported restoration will be submitted to definitive implant impressions. Informed consents and local ethical committee clearance will be obtained. Patients will be submitted to a silicon impression with a customized impression coping from which a conventional cast will be obtained and scanned with D2000 (3Shape) and to an intraoral scan with Trios (3Shape). Standard Tessellation Language (STL) files will be obtained from both procedures and imported to reverse engineering software Geomagic Control X (3D Systems) and the distance between both scans will be calculated in a colored 3D map. From this map, two outcomes will be analyzed: the changes in soft tissues around implants with the two techniques (primary outcome) and the discrepancy between both scans in the teeth adjacent to the implants (secondary outcome).
