Filter by:The aim is to clinically and radiographically assess a novel wedge implant placed in narrow ridges. - 60 wedge implants (Rex Implants, Columbus, OH, USA) will be placed using Piezosurgery® following either a bone consumption (n=30) or bone expansion technique (n=30). Each group (bone consumption and bone expansion) will be divided into 2 surface treatments: machined transcortical portion (n=15) and roughened transcortical portion (n=15). - Record the time needed to place each implant. - ISQ will be evaluated at Day 0, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, and 6 months after implant placement. - Periapical radiographs will be performed at implant placement, loading. and 1, 3, and 5 years after loading to assess marginal bone stability. - Buccal bone height and lingual and buccal bone thickness will be recorded post-intervention, at the time of functional loading, and at 12, 36, and 60 months after loading with CBCT. - Digital impressions will be taken post-operatively, at loading and at 12 months after loading to monitor gingival profile.
The aim of this study was to reduce the residual dead-space volume with a modification following the standard Karydakis procedure.
This proposed randomized controlled trial will provide important data which will inform and enable the Mozambican government and global health programs to more effectively scale-up circumcision services. The investigators postulate that voluntary medical male circumcision using the Gomco clamp coupled with tissue adhesive meets WHO criteria for the ideal method: it is much easier to learn, faster, safer for both surgeons and patients, heals sooner, and is more cost effective than any other currently available technique.
