Filter by:The objective of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the effects of particulate xenogeneic bone grafts associated with autogenous bone graft or Leukocyte-and-Platelet-Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) for horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation. Twenty-eight patients presenting edentulous regions and requiring horizontal bone augmentation prior to dental implant placement were included in this study and randomly divided into two groups according to the proposed guided bone regeneration (GBR) treatment. Fourteen surgical sites corresponding to Group A received bone regeneration with particulate autogenous bone tissue associated with deproteinized bovine bone graft (Bio-Oss Small®; Geistlich AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland). In Group B, fourteen surgical sites were regenerated with deproteinized bovine bone graft (Bio-Oss Small®) associated with L-PRF. In both groups, the grafted region was protected by a collagen membrane (Bio-Gide® Compressed; Geistlich AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland) fixed to the buccal and palatal bone plates using titanium pins. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were performed preoperatively, immediately after the GBR surgical procedure, after 8 months of GBR healing, and immediately after dental implant placement to measure linear and volumetric changes in the alveolar ridge. At the time of dental implant placement, after an average period of 8 months following the guided bone regeneration procedures, bone biopsies were taken from the grafted area for histological, histomorphometric, and micro-CT analysis. After a period of 6 months, the dental implants were reopened to receive implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation. Implant stability was assessed using resonance frequency analysis at the time of implant placement in the grafted area and after an average of 6 months during the reopening surgical stage. Patient pain perception following bone regeneration procedures was assessed using a visual analog scale. All obtained data were statistically analyzed.
fourteen patients requiring extraction of one posterior tooth with lost buccal bone (>50%) confirmed preoperatively by Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. Extraction sockets were filled with minced PRF clots mixed with the bovine xenograft and covered by PRF membranes to seal the extraction sockets. (CBCT) scans, performed before tooth extraction and after 6 months, were used to assess vertical and horizontal bone changes.
A wide range of resorbable and non-resorbable membranes have been investigated over the last decades. Barrier membranes protect bone defects from ingrowth of soft tissue cells, provide mechanical stability of the defect area and allow bone progenitor cells to develop within a blood clot that is formed beneath the barrier membrane, taking a minimum of four to six weeks for periodontal tissues and 16-24 weeks for bone1,2.These membranes are utilized to reconstruct bone defects prior to implantation and to cover dehiscences and fenestrations around dental implants. When aiming to regenerate bone, resorbable or a non - resorbable membranes should be selected depending on location, size and defect area. However, until now the ideal membrane has not been described due to different opinions between authors3,4. Nevertheless, an ideal membrane should maintain its barrier function enough time for new bone formation, and if possible should be resorbable, so that a second surgical procedure for the explantation of the membrane would not be required, thus reducing the morbidity5. However, the use of a barrier membrane is a technique-sensitive procedure that is not free of complications. The main cause of Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) failure is related to early or late exposure of the membrane, leading to contamination and infection of the biomaterial, irreversibly compromising bone regeneration4,6,7. Consequently, the inflammatory reaction of the surrounding soft tissues may require early removal of the membrane. Other complications, such as the onset of an abscess with purulent exudate, can also lead to a complete failure of GBR even without exposure of the membrane. It is thought necessary to perform this clinical study due to the lack of information present in the literature about the different types of membranes that exist nowadays, how they act in the human body with or without performing some type of regeneration and how our body acts towards them.
This randomized clinical trial (RCT) study investigates if there is any difference in complication rate between perforated dense-polytetrafluroethylene (d-PTFE) mesh vs perforated d-PTFE mesh covered with a native collagen membrane. The primary endpoint is complication rate. The secondary endpoints are regeneration rate and pseudoperiosteum formation.
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.
The aim of this study is to propose a modification of the original periostal pocket flap technique consisting in replacing the xenograft by a conglomerate which contains autologous bone obtained from the future implant site through biological drilling technique and PRGF (Plasma Rich in Growth Factors)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of three-dimensional bone regeneration procedures using thin cortical porcine xenograft plates in combination with autogenous bone chips compared with thin autogenous cortical plates and autogenous bone chips.
Various graft materials are used to reconstruct bone defects in the jaws due to tooth loss, trauma, advanced periodontal diseases, pathological lesions and congenital disorders. The main features of an ideal bone graft are osteogenesis, osteoinduction and osteoconduction. Autogenous bone graft is considered as the gold standard among all bone graft materials. Because it has all the features that an ideal bone graft should have. However, there are some disadvantages such as donor site morbidity, obtaining limited amounts and high rates of resorption. Because of these disadvantages, other bone graft materials such as allografts, xenografts and alloplastic bone grafts are frequently used for bone augmentation. In the light of recent studies, the limits of conventional bone graft materials such as limited osteoconduction capacity and disease transmission have been clearly demonstrated. Due to the disadvantages of these materials, studies are directed to develop alternative graft materials. Aim of this study is to analyse the effects of autogenous dentin graft and mixture of autogenous dentin graft and platelet rich fibrin (PRF) applied to the tooth extraction sockets on bone healing process. A total of 57 extraction sockets in 9 patients who were planned to be treated with dental implant after tooth extraction were evaluated in this study. Extraction sockets were divided randomly into 3 groups. In the first group, sockets were filled with autogenous dentin graft (Group D-20 sockets). In the second group, sockets were filled with the mixture of PRF and autogenous dentin graft (Group DP-21 sockets). In the third group, sockets were left empty as control group (Group C-16 sockets). After 3 months, histological and immunohistochemical evaluations were performed on the samples taken during the implant surgery. Additionally, samples obtained from each group were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) has been the most frequently used option to treat bone ridge deficiencies, allowing to restore such defects in order to place bone-integrated dental implants. A few reports exist in the literature about the augmentation of mandibular horizontal ridge defects before implant placement. Published studies show a large variability of reported results regarding horizontal bone augmentation. This can be due to the use of different types of membranes and bone graft materials or a combination thereof. Likewise, an important percentage of graft reabsorption is reported. Although this technique is very much used, an important number of cases must be re-treated or require placing bone graft during implant installation surgery. Techniques are required in order to improve vascularization of the grafts during GBR technique with the aim to improve their clinical success. Recent studies show great interest on the application of shock waves in oral diseases associated to infection and bone loss. The shock waves are acoustic waves that have effects on human biological tissues, stimulating the neo-angiogenesis and the development of a hyper cellularity, showing repairing characteristics on tissues, and starting regenerative processes as a result of metabolism improvement and the increase of local circulation. The extra corporeal shock waves can activate the osteoblasts and their precursors and they have been widely used in orthopaedics for repairing bone fractures. Several clinical studies have shown the effectiveness and safety of shock wave therapy in myocardial revascularization, lithotripsy, cellulitis, volar fasciitis, osteonecrosis, bone fractures, and complicated injuries of soft tissues. No clinical studies exist that assess its effect on guided bone regeneration. The evidence related to the positive effects of the use of shock waves on bone regeneration suggests this treatment as a novelty and a promising therapy that combined with the GBR technique for the treatment of horizontal defects could have an important impact on the potentialization of its clinical effectiveness.
Two different surgical protocols for socket preservation were compared. Soft and hard tissue outcomes were measured clinically and radiographically at baseline and six months post operatively.
