This study aimed to evaluate the most accurate impression technique for "All on Four" restoration, comparing conventional (CIG) and digital impressions (DIG).Patients randomly selected this were required be edentulous in at least one arch, presenting with severe posterior mandibular or maxillary atrophy. All patients underwent full-arch immediate-load rehabilitations, which fixed a total of four implants (two axial two tilted). Following implant placement, stratified into groups....
Background Idiopathic cervical dystonia (ICD) is a focal affecting neck muscles.Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) the first-line treatment of ICD and different physical therapies (including exercise) are often proposed as adjunct treatments.However, actual effectiveness exercise in unclear.The aim current work to assess potential Sensorimotor Perceptive Rehabilitation Integrated (SPRInt) program therapy for ICD.Methods Fifteen patients received BoNT injections muscles and, 12 weeks later, second...
Introduction . Maxillary sinus surgery is a reliable and predictable treatment option for the prosthetic rehabilitation of atrophic maxilla. Nevertheless, these interventions are not riskless postoperative complications with respect to implant positioning in pristine bone. Aim The aim this paper report results clinical consensus experts (periodontists, implantologists, maxillofacial surgeons, ENT, microbiology specialists) on several questions give recommendations how prevent, diagnose,...
In this study, we present medium- and long-term data on implant survival in a cohort of patients with severe maxillary atrophy rehabilitated using reconstructive site development calvarial bone grafts.We obtained clinical records from treated rehabilitation supported by calvaria grafts the Oral Surgery Department IRCSS San Raffaele (Milan, Italy). Implant prosthetic success rates were retrospectively evaluated. Graft postoperative complications also assessed.A total 207 implants placed 32...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare traditional "All on Four" technique with digital smile designed computer-aided rehabilitation; a 4-years follow-up. protocol applied total 50 patients randomly recruited divided in two groups. Digital allows for completely virtual planning exact position fixtures, which one perform flapless surgery procedure great accuracy (mini-invasive surgery) also it is possible use virtually planned prostheses realized Computer-Aided...
Insertion of endosseous implants is often difficult because lack supporting bone. In the case severe atrophy jaws, a large volume autogenous bone can be harvested from iliac crest and calvaria. Both grafts undergo partial resorption with time, but rate loss has not been fully elucidated. The aim this study was to evaluate alveolar height gain (ABHG) obtained calvaria grafts. Twenty-five patients had mandibular grafts, 32 maxillary 11 both Measures were made on preoperative, postoperative,...
Implant osseointegration is strongly influenced by the bone quality at implant insertion site. The present work aims to create distribution diagrams showing average density each position within jaws.Data were retrospectively collected from 4 oral surgeons who sought bone-density measurements during placement using a torque-measuring micromotor. Statistical analyses performed investigate whether correlated with patients' sex and age values different positions arch other.Records of 2408...
To evaluate the accuracy of computer-aided dental implant positions obtained with mucosal-supported templates as compared to Three-Dimensional (3D) planning.One-hundred implants were inserted into 14 edentulous patients using All-on-4/6 protocol after surgical virtual planning RealGUIDE, 3DIEMME, and Geomagic software. After 6 months, three-dimensional neck (V) apex (S) spatial coordinates angle inclination displacements plans evaluated.The S maxilla revealed a significant discrepancy...
Abstract Background Quantitative intraoperative evaluation of bone quality at implant placement site and postinsertion primary stability assessment are two key parameters to perform implant‐supported rehabilitation properly. A novel micromotor has been recently introduced allowing measure density record insertion‐related parameters, such as the instantaneous, average peak insertion torque values, torque/depth integral. Purpose The aim this study was investigate in vivo if any correlation...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the implant survival rate, marginal bone loss, and surgical prosthetic complications implants placed through sinus floor elevation tilted engaged in basal bypass maxillary sinus. Sixty patients were enrolled for study. According residual height posterior maxilla, sample divided into three groups 20 patients: Group A (lateral elevation), B (transcrestal C (tilted employed floor). Follow-up visits performed one week after surgery, at six months, then once...
AbstractCondylar hyperplasia is a rare disorder characterized by an increased volume of the condyle, ramus, and mandibular body leading to facial asymmetry. We present three cases condylar hyperplasia: two women one man, age range 27 34. Clinically, all patients showed deviation mandible opposite side protruded position chin, hypertrophy lower border mandible, combined with elongation open-bite on deformed side, cross-bite side. In cases, scintigraphy uptake. Radiography CT scanning...
To conduct a histomorphometric investigation comparing the use of enzyme-deantigenic equine bone (EDEB) and anorganic bovine (ABB) for maxillary sinus augmentation.Forty patients with Cawood Class V atrophic ridges who required augmentation randomly received EDEB (n = 20) or ABB granules. Six months later, biopsy specimens were obtained, implants placed. Bone subjected to analysis, newly formed (NFB) residual biomaterial (RB) percentages calculated. Patients followed up 3 years after...
To evaluate the outcome of single postextraction immediate implants placed with and without bone grafts in esthetic maxillary premolar area for 3-year follow-up after loading.After tooth extraction, 102 patients received 115 dental implants. Patients were randomly allocated to implant placement (group A: 51) or B: anorganic bovine resorbable collagen barrier.After 3 years (T36), 1 failed each group. Thirty-seven showed inflammation bleeding, 19 mucositis, 2 periimplantitis. Statistical...
Success in implant dentistry also comes from the macrodesign and nanostructure of its surface. Titanium surface treatments have been shown to enhance osseointegration, maximize bone healing, bone-to-implant contact for predictable clinical results. The aim study, was evaluate geometric a novel dental full covering (FCC) obtained by electrochemical procedures. FCC implants were analyzed scanning electronic microscope, profilometer, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy compared with commercial...
The aim of this study was to investigate bone formation over time following maxillary sinus augmentation with an enzyme-deantigenic, collagen-preserving equine graft by retrospective assessment histomorphometric data.Records patients atrophic ridges who underwent the enzyme-deantigenic and two-step implant placement between 3 12 months after sinus-augmentation surgery were assessed retrospectively. data clustered in three classes according collection from analyzed assess newly formed...
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are ordered organic films formed by adsorption of an active coating on a solid surface. Their formation provides alternative, highly innovative, to current traditional chemical treatments the titanium surfaces. For this reason structural phases, and growth SAMs is described from surface science point view. Particulars given concerning morphology, composition affinity specific head group for Ti surfaces (silanes, siloxane, phosphonates phosphates)....
Autologous bone is considered the gold standard for regeneration, even if different heterologous substitutes have been proposed to overcome limits related its use. The aim of this study was analyze and compare molecular events switched on by autologous or graft insertion, focusing TGFβ1 expression OPG/RANKL ratio, resorption process, estimating vascularization, new tissue deposition mineralization, through VEGF, BSP SPARC evaluation, respectively. Patients needing pre-prosthetic...
