Filter by:The aim of this retrospective clinical study was to evaluate the clinical acceptability of metal-ceramic fixed partial dentures (FPD) manufactured utilizing direct metal laser-sintering technology, taking into account the short-term, medium-term, and long-term outcomes. The Federation Dentaire International (FDI) World Dental Federation criteria were used to evaluate the esthetic, functional, and biological clinical acceptability of the patients who met the inclusion criteria
The objective of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of prone position in preventing intubation or death in spontaneously ventilated patients with COVID-19 with acute respiratory failure.
Implant placement in the posterior maxilla is compromised due to atrophy of the alveolar process and maxillary sinus pneumatisation. Bone augmentation is frequently necessary before or in conjunction with implant placement. The most commonly used method to augment the posterior maxillary involves maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) with autogenous bone graft or bone substitute. Autogenous bone graft harvesting is associated with risk of donor site morbidity and unpredictable resorption of graft. Thus, bone substitutes alone or in combination with autogenous bone are used increasingly to simplify the surgical procedure. Symbios biphasic biomaterial is a resorbable inorganic bone forming material derived from red algae consisting of 20% hydroxylapatite and 80% β-tricalciumphosphate with osteoconductive properties. Histologic and radiographic examinations indicate that β-tricalciumphosphate is slowly resorbed and replaced with bone. MSFA with β-tricalciumphosphate alone or in combination with autogenous bone or other bone substitutes have demonstrated high implant survival and new bone. Symbios xenograft granules is a porcine bone mineral with osteoconductive properties. Histologic and radiographic examinations indicate that xenograft is a non-resorbable graft material. MSFA with xenograft alone or in combination with autogenous bone have shown high implant survival and new bone. The objective is to test the H0-hypothesis of no difference in implant outcome after MSFA with autogenous bone graft or in combination with Symbios biphasic biomaterial or Symbios xenograft. 60 consecutively healthy patients with a missing posterior maxillary tooth/teeth will be randomly allocated to: 1) MSFA with autogenous bone graft, 2) MSFA with mixture of 50% autogenous bone graft and 50% Symbios biphasic biomaterial 3) MSFA with mixture of 50% autogenous bone graft and 50% Symbios xenograft. Implants will be inserted simultaneously with MSFA. Clinical and/or radiographical evaluation using periapical radiographs and Cone Beam Computer Tomography will be performed preoperatively, immediate postoperatively, before abutment connection, after prosthetic rehabilitation, and after one year to assess the treatment outcome and volumetric changes of the augmented area. Outcome include survival of suprastructures and implants, volumetric stability of graft, peri-implant marginal bone level, oral health related quality of life, and complications.
Implant placement in the posterior part of the maxilla is frequently compromised or impossible due to atrophy of the alveolar process and pneumatisation of the maxillary sinus. Therefore, alveolar ridge augmentation is frequently necessary before or in conjunction with implant placement. The most commonly used method to augment the maxillary premolar and molar region involves the maxillary sinus floor augmentation applying the lateral window technique with a grafting material. However, the lateral window technique is associated with prolonged patient treatment time and increased morbidity. Thus, osteotome-mediated sinus floor elevation (OSFE) with or without the use of a grafting material has been advocated, when the residual bone height is more than 6 mm. OSFE involves preparation of implant site through the use of concave osteotomes and elevation of the maxillary sinus floor. The survival of suprastructure and implants after OSFE with or without the use of a grafting material has never been assessed in long-term randomized controlled trials. A long-term study concluded that OSFE with no grafting material is a predictable treatment modality. High short-term implant survival rates after OSFE with or without the use of a grafting material have been reported in systematic reviews. However, the amount of new bone formation after OSFE with the use of a grafting material is significantly higher compared to the use of no grafting material, as documented in a systematic review. Harvesting of autogenous bone graft is associated with risk of donor site morbidity and bone substitutes of natural transplants involves a risk of contamination, activation of host immune system and disease transmission as well as they can be refused by patients for religious reasons or because they are in contrast with chosen lifestyle. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to test the H0-hypothesis of no difference in the long-term implant treatment outcome after OSFE with Bio-Oss Collagen compared with the use of no grafting material. A total of 40 consecutively healthy patients with a missing posterior tooth in the maxilla will be allocated at random to OSFE with Bio-Oss Collagen or no grafting material and simultaneous implant placement. Clinical and/or radiographical evaluation using periapical radiographs and Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT) will be performed preoperatively, immediate postoperatively, after abutment connection, after prosthetic rehabilitation, one year, three years and five years after loading to assess the long-term implant treatment outcome and the volumetric changes of the augmented area. The primary outcome will include survival of suprastructures, survival of implants, volumetric stability of the augmented area, peri-implant marginal bone level, oral health related quality of life, and complications related to the two treatment modalities.
OPN plays an important role in various aspects of malignancy, particularly those involved in tissue invasion and metastasis, and OPN levels have been associated with aggressive¬ness in several cancer types, including breast cancer. Tumor response to treatment is a predictor of prognosis and overall survival for cancer patient population the investigators assigned osteopontin as potential contributors in breast cancer.
This study evaluates retrospectively the survival rate of all-ceramic restorations, cemented using AWB technique (test) compared to those cemented with conventional technique (control)
Monocentric, non-interventional Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) Study on past implantations of the Prevision® prosthesis; the survival rate of the Prevision® prosthesis shall be evaluated and compared to literature results on comparable Revision stems.
Currently there is an increase in the use of bioprosthesis worldwide (> 70% according to national data of the Spanish Society of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery). There is conflicting evidence regarding the long-term survival of patients aged 50-65 years with mechanical (M) or biological (B) aortic prostheses. General consensus of greater complications associated with the use of long-life anticoagulation in M and of reoperation in B. Similar survival with lower MACCE complications in bioprosthesis could reconsider their choice in patients aged 50-65 years, specially in the current TAVI era. The investigators are going to perform a multicentric retrospective observational study (Registry) about 15 year-outcomes Following Bioprosthetic vs Mechanical Isolated Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis in Patients Aged 50 to 65 Years in 5 Cardiovascular Surgery Centers in Andalousia (south Spain)
