Abstract Mounting casts accurately on an articulator is a prerequisite for the treatment planning/execution of complex dental cases that require occlusal rehabilitation. A full digital approach to transfer position maxillary dentition virtual articulator, by using intraoral scans and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) files presented. This technique offers reduced chairside time flexibility choosing orientation plane. It can be used in orthognathic surgeries, interdisciplinary treatments...
Abstract Background A new classification of periodontal diseases aimed to identify disease based on a multidimensional staging and grading system has been recently proposed. However, up date, its prognostic predictive capability not investigated. The aim this study was assess if parameters included in the were tooth loss after long‐term follow‐up (>10 years) patients with periodontitis. Methods Patients presented periodontitis at University Michigan between January 1966 2004 screened...
To investigate if there is epidemiological evidence of an association between edentulism and cognitive decline beside that currently available from limited sample-sized case series cross-sectional studies considering co-variables.Data two USA national health surveys [NHIS 2014-2017 NHANES 2005-2018] were analyzed using multinomial logistic regression to study the impact type number remaining teeth on memory concentration problems. Age, gender, socioeconomic status, education level,...
Abstract Objective To clinically evaluate the use of a titanium‐reinforced PTFE mesh for vertical bone augmentation (VBA) deficient alveolar ridges. Materials and methods This case series documented consecutive patients treated VBA with newly developed mesh. was performed in anterior posterior, maxillary mandibular arches using anorganic bovine combined autogenous graft 1:1 ratio. Healing time from initial surgery to re‐opening recorded. Baseline deficiency, absolute gain (gross height...
Bleeding on probing (BOP) is regarded as an indispensable diagnostic tool for evaluating periodontal disease activity; however, its role in peri-implant more intricate. Much of the confusion about interpretation originates from drawing parallels between and conditions. BOP can originate two forms implants: traumatic or pathologic induction. This, addition to dichotomous scale complicate diagnosis. The objective this commentary discuss following: 1) value a diseases; 2) reasons it should be...

Incidence and severity of postoperative complications are key elements in determining the risk-benefit relationship any surgical procedure. The aim this retrospective study was to assess categorize that occur following, associated with, oral, periodontal, implant surgeries.A total 3,900 patients who underwent procedures including, but not limited to, sinus floor elevation, guided tissue regeneration, crown lengthening, placement, soft graft, open flap debridement or removal impacted teeth...
The aim of this study was to compare the effects four different commonly used wound dressings in improving patient reported outcomes (PROMS) after free epithelialized mucosal grafts (FEGs) harvesting.Following 72 FEGs harvesting from patients, patients were assigned into groups.collagen plug + sutures (CPS); test: collagen with cyano-acrylate (CPC), platelet rich fibrin (PRF) sutures, or palatal stent only (PS). Patients observed for 14 days, evaluation pain level utilizing visual analog...
This study aimed to investigate the combined effect of trans-mucosal abutment height (TmAH) and restorative emergence angle (REA) on marginal bone loss (MBL) around bone-level implants. Implant radiographs 12-18 months after crown placement (T0) at least one year later (T1) were retrospectively analyzed. Sites separated into four groups: Long/Narrow-Angle (LN) with TmAH > 2 mm REA < 30°, Long/Wide-Angle (LW) ≥ Short/Narrow-Angle (SN) Short/Wide-Angle (SW) 30°. MBL was calculated, multiple...
ABSTRACT Aims This non‐inferiority randomised clinical trial aimed to compare vertical bone gain (VBG), volumetric changes and incidence of complications after ridge augmentation (VRA) using perforated titanium‐reinforced dense‐polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) mesh covered by a collagen membrane (CM) or used alone. Materials Methods Thirty patients with defects were randomly assigned receive VRA either PTFE + CM Meshes removed 9 months. Clinical assessments included complication rates,...
ABSTRACT Aims To externally validate the potential applicability of 2018 classification periodontal diseases as a risk assessment tool, through use nomogram built on multivariate predictor model. Materials and Methods Data from 459 patients with periodontitis, across four cohorts (three in United States, one Kingdom), were retrospectively analysed. After staging grading periodontitis before active therapy (APT), categorised by model having ‘low tooth loss’ (≤ 1 teeth lost due reasons [TLP])...
