Filter by:The study evaluated the effect of local application of simvastatin around immediate implant on the amount of gap fill, ridge dimensional alterations and bone density in humans.
When a dental extraction is performed, sequential cascade of events happens that lead to a modeling and remodeling of the area. This phenomenon leads to bone resorption and consequential volume loss atrophy. In literature several biomaterials (Autogenous, alloplastic, allografts and xenografts) were tested as alveolar fillers with the aim of controlling this physiologic event. Socket preservation is today a very widely spread dental technic to preserve the alveolar dimensions, that uses a wide range of biomaterials. Alloplastic materials have a fair evidence to work in several regenerative procedures in the oral and maxillofacial region. This pilot trial aims to characterize Histologic bone healing pattern in a human socket preservation model of 2/3 biphasic calcium sulfate cement matrix's and Hydroxyapatite (HA granules). Alterations in Volumetric alveolar socket changes in a socket preservation clinical model will also be studied.
the aim of this study is clinically and radiographically evaluate the use of advance platelet rich fibrin (A-PRF) versus platelet rich fibrin (PRF) in preservation of alveolar ridge following tooth extraction
Hard and soft tissue deficiencies of an alveolar ridge arise as sequelae of tooth extraction when socket preservation is not applied. In addition, extraction of posterior maxillary teeth causes pneumatization of the maxillary sinus in relation to other fixed landmarks such as the teeth. These anatomic sinus limitations and alveolar bone deficiencies are the main challenges for dental implant placement. Different bone substitutes have been used to augment bone in pneumatized maxillary sinuses. Scaffolding materials such as xenografts or synthetics substitutes have been proven to be a viable alternative. Xenografts are obtained from nonhuman species and serve as a scaffold for the formation of new bone (osteoconduction). Histologic evaluation of maxillary sinuses grafted with xenografts revealed newly formed bone to be mostly woven bone with some remodeling to lamellar bone. These histologic findings reaffirm the osteoconductive ability of xenografts when used as the sole grafting material in maxillary sinus augmentation. Xenografts appear to be an effective method for maxillary sinus grafting and demonstrate limited resorption over time. Sinuses augmented with synthetic bone substitute (SBS) also appear to successfully integrate based on recent histomorphometric studies. Vascularization and trabecular bone formation in sinuses grafted with SBS has been previously demonstrated. One type of SBS includes porous granules of bioactive and resorbable silica-calcium phosphate nanocomposite (ShefaBone). ShefaBone grafts offer a novel alternative that can potentially unite the 3 salient bone-forming properties (osteoinduction, osteoconduction, and osteogenesis). ShefaBone has unique properties including: 1) bioactivity 2) bioresorbablility, and 3) allowing for the uptake of calcium ions from the physiological solution and releasing phosphate and silicate ions which aid in bone formation. A material with such properties will substitute bone in a more controlled and effective combination that can be obtained in many clinical situations, without the disadvantages found with autograft. ShefaBone has demonstrated successful regenerative properties for bony defects. To our knowledge, there is no reported clinical studies on the use of SCPC material to graft a pneumatized maxillary sinus. This aim of this current study is to compare SCPC to commonly used xenograft material in an augmented maxillary sinus.
A single-centre randomised controlled pilot study involving 12-24 healthy adult patients for investigating dental extraction socket healing with and without plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) taking place during early days of healing (days 1, 3, 7, 15, 30) and relating the healing to clinical and histological outcomes after 90 days of healing. Healing will be investigated by means of various non-invasive imaging technologies (e.g. laser scanners, thermal cameras, laser cameras) in addition to conventional technologies (e.g. bone core biopsy, 3D xray images). At 90 days of healing, dental implants will be placed in the healed sockets and implants will be restored and followed up until 12 months after connecting the prosthesis to the implant (e.g. implant crown). Dental implant outcomes (e.g. survival, success) will also be evaluated.
The clinical cases in the present study described the khoury shell technique using an allograft plate and autogenous chips, for horizontal reconstruction of the anterior alveolar ridge in the esthetic zone. Without need to use autogenous bone graft techniques that are characterized by more aggressive surgery.
The present study is a human, prospective, randomised controlled clinical trial will be conducted to explore and compare the clinical, radiographic and histomorphometric outcome of autogenous demineralised dentin(DDM) versus bovine derived xenograft(DBM) for socket preservation procedure.
The rehabilitation of dentoalveolar defects and tooth loss has seen remarkable advancements over time. Extraction of tooth leads to reduction in physiologic dimension of bone and it is imperative to evaluate the site before implant placement. To overcome the loss of volume and to avoid complications, procedures to restore the resorbed alveolar bones prior to or during implant placement are usually performed. Lateral bone augmentation procedures with guided bone regeneration (GBR) are well documented in the literature with predictable results. It generally involves bone substitute xenograft and bioresorbable membrane combined with implant placement in single stage procedure or separately in two- stage procedure. As the search for better and improved materials continues, a porcine derived ribose cross-linked volumising collagen matrix (VCMX) based on GLYMATRIX® technology has been introduced which showed benefits over the conventional membranes in terms of simplified procedure, degradation, membrane exposure and healing. The collagen scaffold has been reportedly used as a core material for guided bone regeneration, when there is sufficient bone to place an implant but a horizontal defect is present in the crestal ridge. As part of augmentation VCMX is designed to expand and ossify during healing. The advantage of the material is that when placed in one or two layers, it may eliminate the use of bone substitute or connective tissue graft thus simplifying the augmentation procedure. In addition, adding a bone substitute is a valid option based on indication. In the quest of better material and simplified procedures, few authors have performed case studies based on application of VCMX for guided bone regeneration around dental implants and has shown promising results. However, there are no controlled clinical trials on application of VCMX for lateral ridge augmentation. Thus, the present study aims to assess the efficiency of VCMX compared to resorbable collagen membrane (RCM) and bone graft (BG) for lateral ridge augmentation around implants through a well designed, controlled clinical trial.
Vertical bone height has always presented challenge for the clinicians especially in the anterior aesthetic zone. Therefore, this trial will attempt to compare whether better vertical bone height and implant placement technique can be achieved using simultaneous implant placement with the sandwich osteotomy, which is a time saving procedure performed in a single stage surgery; when compared to using fixation plates to support the segment followed by delayed implant placement.
the aim of the present study was to evaluate the dimensional variation and osseointegration of mini-implants at augmented sinus with the antrostomy left unprotected or protected with a collagen membrane.
