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.
Tooth loss is a global public health problem and is the main cause of occlusal and oral bone deformities. The tooth with the greatest tooth loss can be identified as first molars. The bone graft added to the tooth socket immediately after tooth extraction prevents atrophy and deformity of the bone at the site of tooth loss. Photobiomodulation accelerates bone healing; stimulates blood flow; activates osteoblasts, decreases osteoclastic activity and improves the integration of the biomaterial with bone tissue. The objective of the study is to develop a protocol for the management and preservation of alveolar bone after loss of first and/or second permanent molars in patients age from 18 years, with an indication for extraction associated or not with treatment with an 808 nm infrared laser. . Materials and methods: 60 patients age from 18 years will be randomized and randomly distributed into 4 groups, n= 15: Exo (extraction), Exo+Laser (extraction and laser treatment), Exo+Biomat (extraction with graft of biomaterial), Exo+Biomat+Laser (biomaterial extraction and grafting and laser treatment). The biomaterials of choice will be Plenum® OSShp and Plenum® Guide (Brazil), added to the socket immediately after molar extraction, groups that will receive the laser (λ = 808 nm, power = 100 mW, radiant energy 3J per point in 3 buccal, occlusal and lingual/palatal points), will receive irradiation during surgery and 10 days after surgery, in the Exo and Exo+Biomat groups a similar laser device will be used without emission of irradiation, the operator who will apply the laser and the patient will be blind to the device used and the patient will not know whether or not they received the biomaterial. Analysis: computed tomography and intraoral scanning performed pre-surgery and 4 months after surgery; to assess bone volume by measurements of the height and width of the socket in each group, as well as trabecular bone and the interdental space of the teeth lateral to the missing element. Statistical analysis will be performed using the Shapiro-Wilks test, Student's t-test or Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test for parametric and non-parametric data, respectively, will be two-tailed and the significance level adopted will be α = 0.05.

The objective of study is to evaluate the influence of the use of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) from the patient's produced by a new horizontal centrifugation protocol associated with particulate xenogenous bone graft in the rehabilitation of atrophic maxillary sinus for early osseointegrated implants plancement. In a split-mouth model, twelve patients in need of rehabilitation with at least two bilateral implants in the regions of atrophic maxillary sinus will simultaneously undergo bone reconstruction using deproteinized particulate xenogenous bone (Bio-Oss Small®; Geistlich AG, Wolhusen , Switzerland). Randomly, one of the surgical sites of each patient will be reconstructed using the associated technique of solid PRF + Liquid PRF with the xenogen material, where at the end of the grafting procedure, both sites will be protected by a collagen membrane (Bio-Gide® Compressed; Geistlich AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland) positioned over the surgical access of the maxillary sinus. During the research, cone-beam computed tomography scans will be performed preoperatively, immediately after surgical procedure, 3 months after maxillary sinus reconstruction, after immediate implants placement and 12 months after functional load of the implants for comparative volume measurement of tissue gain and the maintenance of the grafted tissue. During the implant surgery, bilateral biopsies will be collected after 4 months of the regenerative surgical procedure during the early dental implants surgery by virtually guided surgery. The stability of the implants will be measured by means of resonance frequency analysis (ISQ) after the immediate postoperative period and 6 postoperative months as the clinical success rates of the implants after 12 months with functional load. The tissue samples will be used for histological, histomorphometric, immunohistochemistry and microtomographic analysis. All data obtained will be statistically analyzed.
Twenty patients scheduled for lateral-window sinus floor Elevation (SFE) are randomized into two groups: use of SYMBIOS® Biphasic Bone Graft Material (Group 1) or of Algipore® Bone Substitution Material (Group 2). Biopsies are taken 3 months after SFE and during implant surgery after 6 months. One ground section per biopsy (n=40) is stained, scanned, and histomorphometrically analyzed for new bone, old bone, soft tissue, graft, bone infiltration of graft, bone-to-graft contact, and penetration depth.
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).
Multi-center, international, prospective, open-label, single-arm, first-in-human clinical investigation. The Patients enrolled in this clinical investigation will undergo a scheduled surgery for the treatment of long bone defects up to 6 cm using GreenBone Implant. After the surgery, the Patients will be monitored at pre-scheduled visits up to 12 months. Adverse events, pain, quality of life and functional parameters, as well as X-ray and CT scan, will be evaluated at scheduled follow-up visits. An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will review the safety reports at regular intervals and Serious Adverse Events (SAE) as soon as reported, to protect Patients participating in the study. The initial phase of the study contemplates the treatment of bone defects up to 3 cm. An adaptive interim analysis will be performed when the first 7 Patients will have completed the 6-month follow-up visit. The DSMB will review the results of the interim analysis with respect to the primary endpoint (safety), and provide one of the following recommendations to the Sponsor: a) to stop the study for unacceptable frequency and severity of adverse events or b) to continue the study up to 25 Patients recruited and to include at least 5 Patients with a longer bone defect (> 3 cm up to 6 cm).
Multi-center, prospective, open-label, single-arm, first-in-human clinical investigation. The patient enrollment will be as follow: initial 5 patients enrolled at PI site. The other remaining patients will be enrolled in the three sites only after positive evaluation of the 3 months Follow Up (FU) interim report analysis by Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). The Patients enrolled in this clinical investigation will undergo a scheduled surgery aiming to reconstruct iliac crest bone defect using GreenBone Implant. After surgery, the Patients will be monitored at pre-scheduled visits up to 6 months. The FU will be extended at 12 months only in case of no complete healing and/or in case of no resolved SAE at the 6 months FU visit. Adverse events, pain, quality of life and X-ray will be evaluated at scheduled follow-up visits. An independent DSMB will review the safety reports at regular intervals and Serious Adverse Events (SAE) as soon as reported, to protect Patients participating in the study. As specified before, an adaptive interim analysis will be performed when at least 5 Patients will have completed the 3 month follow up visit, (V5). The DSMB will review the results of the interim analysis with respect to the primary endpoint (safety) in order to continue the study up to 15 Patients.
