Sinus augmentation has been advocated to be a surgical technique with predictable results in peri-implant surgery. Endoscopic surgery of the maxillary sinus so far used as diagnostic procedure. In this paper, use endoscopy is described low invasive adjunctive floor augmentation. After preparation mucoperiosteum, bone grafts can placed under endoscopic control between and mucoperiosteum. A laterobasal approach via small osteotomy transalveolar are possible for mucosal elevation graft...
Primary stability of dental implants is mandatory for their osseointegration. A method described that allows objective measurements implant displacement in bone sites during lateral loading. Ten samples bovine (2 cm × 2 cm) with type II, III, and IV according to Lekholm Zarb were used the experiment. Semados 15-mm length 3.75-mm diameter placed. All loaded forces 5, 10, 20, 30 N through 8-mm abutments seconds each. Lateral was observed by means contact endoscopy. Micromovement detected help...
Oral posture is considered to have a major influence on the development and reoccurrence of malocclusion. A biofunctional model was tested with null hypotheses that (1) there are no significant differences between pressures during different oral functions (2) pressure measurements in compartments order substantiate various postural conditions at rest by intra-oral dynamics. Atmospheric monitoring simultaneously carried out digital manometer vestibular inter-occlusal space (IOS) palatal vault...
Habitual mouth breathing is often accompanied by habitual anterior tongue thrust, instead of a lip closure, in order to create the seal necessary for initiation physiological deglutition. We tested null hypothesis no significant influence oral maneuver and use screens on coordination position during deglutition 29 subjects (age = 6-16; mean 9.69 years; 13/16 female/male) with open-mouth posture using intraoral polysensography. The target parameters swallowing were swallowing-associated nasal...
Background Limited attention has been given to oral health challenges faced by older Indigenous populations, especially in rural settings, where disparities exist. This study aims assess a Mapuche community southern Chile, utilizing geriatric technology support, and exploring the connection between well-being fill gap this context. Methods A cross-sectional was conducted involving 76 independent adults from who required dental care. Assessments were remote care setting gathering extensive...
Orofacial biofunction comprises muscular and physical effects, which may contribute to stabilization of the oropharyngeal airway. The tongue-repositioning manoeuvre (TRM) provides tongue soft palate together with, as a prerequisite, nasal breathing mode. aim present study was evaluate influence TRM treatment concept on primary snoring. used achieve closed biofunctional rest position orofacial system re-educate pattern. Pressure indicating oral shields were for home exercises biofeedback...
Swallowing disturbances are common after neurological disease and oropharyngeal tumor resection. In this case the oral stage is often affected. So far clinical evaluation of phase limited. Recently role pressure changes during swallowing has been pointed out, but until now there not enough data. Thereby 52 healthy adults aged between 20 45 years were examined using an shield (Silencos(®), Bredent, Senden, Germany) connected to a digital manometer (GDUSB 1000(®), Greisinger electronics,...
To test the null hypothesis of no significant difference in terms intraoral pressure curve characteristics assessed simultaneously at subpalatal space (SPS) and vestibular (VS), during different oral postures, between four groups with either an Angle Class II/1 (II1), II/2 (II2), anterior open bite (O) malocclusion, or a neutral occlusion control group (I).
To evaluate the significance of crown-root angles (CRAs) by testing null hypothesis that there are no significant differences in deviations third-order to axial inclination values between Angle Class II division 2 incisors and a neutral occlusion control sample.The study group comprised n(total) = 130 whites with either (n(1) 62; A) or (n(2) 68; B) occlusal relationships. Upper central incisor (U1) was assessed reference cephalometric lines NA palatal plane (U1NA/deg, U1PP/deg). Craniofacial...
