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.
This study retrospectively evaluated the effect of two different lateral window preparation techniques on peri-implant bone augmentation for patients who underwent lateral sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement using two-dimensional and three-dimensional radiographic results, with special emphasis placed on the stability of the graft material after surgery.
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.
. The aim of this study was to determine the location of mental foramen in relation to the lower primary molars using Cone Beam Computed Tomography. And develop simple guidelines for the injection of mental block anaesthesia for children.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between submandibular fossa depth and gonial angle measurements in cone beam computed tomography examinations in terms of dental implant applications. Cone-beam computed tomography images of 51 dry human mandibles were included in the study.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided navigation bronchoscopy is better in diagnosing lung nodules compared to navigation bronchoscopy alone.
COD lesions effect a wide range of different anatomical areas, show different volume and morphometric characteristics.
To evaluate dimensional bone alterations following horizontal ridge augmentation using guided bone regeneration (GBR) with or without autogenous block graft (ABG) for the rehabilitation of atrophic jaws with dental implants.
Research questions: 1. Will the panoramic images derived from cone beam CT data give better diagnostic ability than conventional panoramic radiographs? 2. Will 3D cephalometric analysis offer the orthodontists and surgeons better information for treatment planning? 3. Will the 3D cephalometric analysis give more accurate treatment plan and better treatment outcome? General hypothesis and special aims Overall aims: - To compare 2D versus 3D cephalometric analysis: treatment planning and therapeutic outcome. - To determine the accuracy and diagnostic ability and usability of the 3D cephalometric analysis. - To evaluate the diagnostic ability and usability of the panoramic image derived from cone beam CT data as compared to 2D panoramic images. - To evaluate the value of the cone beam CT data in cephalometric analysing process for orthodontic and maxillofacial surgery treatment. Hypotheses: 1. The availability of the 3D cephalometric analysis influences the orthodontic and maxillofacial treatment plan and decision, and might change the treatment outcome. 2. Panoramic images derived from cone beam CT data may provide equal information for diagnosis as conventional panoramic images. 3. Cone beam CT will be able to replace "classic orthodontic imaging" being more time and dose efficient and having a beneficial effect on treatment outcome.
