Filter by:Purpose: The proposed study will evaluate and compare the clinical response of using bioresorbable collagen membrane alone or defect debridement with erbium Laser irradiation in conjunction with bioresorbable collagen membrane in the treatment of Class II furcation defects in maxillary and mandibular teeth. The study will examine whether there is a superior regeneration potential when the laser energy is combined with membrane defect isolation. Procedure: The study will use 2 groups, a control group and a test group with 16 patients in each group, with severe chronic periodontitis having clinical or radiographic evidence of Class II furcation defects in the buccal or lingual of the mandibular molars or Class II furcation defects on the buccal of maxillary molars. 16 patients will serve as the control group and open flap debridement with bioresorbable collagen membrane will be the mode of treatment. Group 2: 16 patients will serve as the test group and will undergo open flap debridement in conjunction with Er, Cr: YSGG laser irradiation and a bioresorbable collagen membrane will be used.
The study was designed to assess the effectiveness of conservation ridge preservation (horizontal and vertical dimension) after tooth extraction with and without combination of bone substitutes based on synthetic (calcium sulfate mixed with phosphate.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the INFUSE® Bone Graft as an alternative to autograft for bone formation in the back of the mandible (lower jaw) prior to placing dental implants.
In this study, the investigators will evaluate the dimensional changes of alveolar bone in the preserved sites in comparison with extraction only conventional healed sockets, as well. 1. Dimensional changes of the alveolar ridge contour after socket preservation in comparison to conventional tooth extraction. 2. Evaluation the stability of implants placed at the preserved sockets. 3. Histological evaluation of newly formed bone at the socket preserved sites in comparison with extracted only healed sites.
The aim of this study was to evaluate by histology and MSCT scans during a 7-month period, the efficacy of a bioactive glass (Inion BioRestore™) placed in human extraction sockets in the maintenance of alveolar ridge.
The purpose of this research study is to shorten the treatment time course for patients who are scheduled for surgery to have a dental implant(s) placed into the upper front part of their mouths and need to have more bone in their jaws to support the implant.
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether this study treatment can improve the bone structure of the upper front part of the jaw in patients who are scheduled for surgery to have a dental implant(s) placed into the upper front part of their mouths and need to have more bone in their jaws to support the implant, so that a dental implant can later be inserted.
Straumann Bone Ceramic (SBC) and BioOss will be used as bone grafting materials when there is a need for bone augmentation in the posterior upper jaw. 9 months later the bone formation is evaluated. The patients are followed for 3 years.The study hypothesis is that the SBC is not worse than BioOss.
The hypothesis of this study is that there is a significant difference in bone maturation after sinus grafting determined by the distance from the buccal to the palatal wall of this cavity.
The purpose of this research is to determine if a subject's own bone marrow tissue can help regenerate bone in the area of his/her jaw where a tooth has been removed using Tissue Repair Cell (TRC) Therapy.
