Filter by:This study was conducted to radiographically evaluate peri-implant and alveolar bone height changes of locator attachments used for three implant assisted mandibular complete overdenture using two different pick up protocols.
Objectives: evaluate the success rate, prosthetic maintenance , clinical and radiologic results of vertical implants with straight abutments versus inclined implants with angled abutments to retain locator maxillary overdentures. There were two groups : 1) The control group 2) The study group
The aim of this clinical trial is to compare serum concentration of bone intake proteins [ sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), cross linked C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I)] and muscle atrophy marker [creatine kinase (CK-MB)] between patients after the fracture of proximal femur and their age corresponding counterpart without the fracture. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is the higher concentration of bone intake proteins and muscle atrophy marker a predictive factor of proximal femur fracture? The part of participants (Group 1) will be hospitalized at the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation and will undergo a surgical treatment (open reduction of the fracture). The rest (Group 2) will be admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine. Participants of both Groups will have the blood sample test taken, to evaluate and compare the serum concentration of SHBG, CTX-I and CK-MB proteins.
The purpose of this research is to identify strategies that minimize bone loss that occurs when older adults lose weight. Participation in this research will involve up to nine assessment visits and last up to two years.
The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of the OsteoStrong training method and the Individually Adapted and Combined Training on the bone health of older women with high fracture risk. Additionally, the aim is also to explore the participants' experiences of each training method. Participants will be randomised to either treatment arm A (OsteoStrong) or treatment arm B (Individually Adapted and Combined Training). Participants in both groups will train for nine months. Treatment arm A will train individually once a week and treatment arm B will train in a group twice a week. Both groups will have a training instructor who will supervise and give training instructions. Researchers will compare the groups to see the effects of the training methods on the participants' bone health among other outcome measures. The participants will be tested at baseline and post-intervention (9 months later).
This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the maxillary intra-osseous vascular canal thickness as measured by volumetric tomography and the amount of intra-operative bleeding during open sinus floor augmentation. A sample of patients will be selected, and their maxillary intra-osseous vascular canal thickness will be measured using volumetric tomography. Intraoperative bleeding will be recorded during open sinus floor augmentation. The data will be analyzed to determine if there is a correlation between the thickness of the maxillary intra-osseous vascular canal and intraoperative bleeding.
Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) have a higher risk of low-trauma (osteoporotic) fracture that is 7-12 times higher than non-diabetics. The bone density of people with Type 1 Diabetes is higher at the time of fracture than in non-diabetics. This suggests the presence of underlying bone tissue mechanical defects. The potential benefits to participants would be knowledge gained about their bone density and the results of laboratory tests. On a wider scale, there may be general benefits to society because the knowledge gained from this study may help better understand the effects of diabetes on bone health
In this clinical trial the effect of the implant-abutment morphology (platform-switched vs platform matched) will be assessed in both soft tissue (soft tissue thickness) and hard tissue (marginal bone loss) outcomes. Several clinical predictors (initial implant position level, gingival biotype, abutment height and prosthetic emergence profile) will also be taken into account as modulating factors of the clinical outcome.
The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of the computer-guided interpositional sandwich osteotomy for the vertical bone gain and effects on vital structures (inferior dental nerve bundle) compared to free hand interpositional osteotomies.
