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,...
To assess whether (and to what extent) average torque readings evaluating the bone density of polyurethane foam blocks and bovine ribs are correlated with that gray values (GVs) measured via CBCT scans, both at site reading adjacent sites where is expected engage implant threads. Average were collected on scans then analyzed measure GVs purposedly designed regions interest (ROIs). The ROIs shaped as concentric hollow cylinders centered measurements. relation between was investigated through...
In the case of localized ridge atrophy, a augmentation procedure, with use bone substitutes and barrier membranes, may then be necessary.The aim present study was clinical, histological, immunohistochemical evaluation an equine spongy in alveolar procedures.Five patients showing horizontal mandibular defects participated this study. A performed through onlay apposition covered by titanium-reinforced membrane. After 6 months healing, five cores from nonaugmented sites (control) augmented...
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...
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...
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...
The aim of the present study was to perform a comparative histological and immunohistochemical evaluation microvessel density, vascular endothelial growth factor, nitric oxide synthase (NOS) expression in sinus augmentation using autologous bone alone or combination with equine bone.Sixteen patients underwent 50:50 mixture bone. Control cores were harvested from preexisting nonaugmented under floor. specimens processed for immunohistochemistry.The greatest values density found sites grafted...
Abstract Purpose The purpose of the present preliminary in vitro study on bovine ribs was to validate a new intraoperative site‐specific classification bone D ensity I ndex ( IDI ), obtained by an innovative computerized implant motor, correlating these data with histomorphometrical evaluation same samples. Materials and Methods Five segments were used, total 22 perforations performed. A motor (“ T orque M easuring otor”) used evaluate density, which classified into four classes: ID1 , ID2...
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...
During insertion of dental implants, measurement dynamic parameters such as the torque-depth curve integral or energy might convey more information about primary stability than traditional static removal torque. However, relationship between these parameters, bone density, and implant geometry is not well understood. The aim this investigation was to compare measurements concerning three different designs when implants were inserted into bovine ribs collected using an instantaneous torque...
Abstract Background Recently, a torque‐measuring micromotor has been shown to provide reliable, quantitative intraoperative evaluation of bone density and implant primary stability. This may be particularly useful for determining quality residual consequently the most appropriate site preparation in th e posterior maxilla, where often is low quality. Purpose work aimed assess medium‐term success implants placed during 1‐stage sinus augmentations using an undersized drilling protocol. In case...
ABSTRACT Aim The present work describes a horizontal ridge augmentation in which titanium mesh was preshaped by adapting it to stereolithographic model of the patient's jaw that fabricated from CT scans. Background Guided bone regeneration (GBR) involves covering site with long-lasting barrier protect invasion surrounding soft tissues. Among barriers, meshes may provide successful outcome, but intraoperatory time needed shape them is disadvantage. Case description 54-year-old patient,...
Abstract Immediate loading of root-form dental implants has shown promising results and offers treatment cost convenience advantages to patients. Although blade have been immediately loaded for over 2 decades, the ability this implant design achieve osseointegration debated. The aim present study was histologically evaluate peri-implant tissues an retrieved abutment fracture after a 20-year period. Histologic samples were prepared examined by light microscope. Compact, cortical, mature bone...
Implant site preparation may be adjusted to achieve the maximum possible primary stability. The aim of this investigation was study relation among bone-to-implant contact at insertion, bone density, and implant stability intra-operatively measured by a torque-measuring motor, when sites were undersized or tapped.Undersized (n=14), standard (n=13), tapped (n=13) prepared on 9 segments bovine ribs. After measuring density using 40 implants placed, their assessed integral torque-depth insertion...
Purpose The purpose of this study was to conduct a comparative immunohistochemical evaluation microvessel density (MVD) in alveolar sites augmented with autologous bone or Bio-Oss. Materials and Methods Eighteen patients participated study. All presented maxillary ridge defects. These defects were filled random fashion Endosseous implants inserted after mean 3 months the 6 As part implant site preparation, trephine used harvest cores. control, cores retrieved nonaugmented used. value MVD...
The interest of scientific community on brain activities and issues are well-known, especially for neuro-detection variety impairments that affect cerebral areas. Various techniques methods have been using to characterize try understand many purposes. Epilepsy, one them, is a topic great impact in research as well Alzheimer issues. Thanks the development new biomedical instrumentation it possible use appropriate diagnose specific pathology. DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging) ultimate technique...
One of the most often used bone augmentation techniques is guided regeneration procedure. The authors report case a 75-year-old man with an atrophic right posterior mandible who underwent through preshaped titanium mesh adapted on stereolithographic model patient's jaw. graft volume was simulated light-curing resin. actual site grafted mixture autogenous and equine-derived bone. Five months later, retrieved, three cylindrical implants were positioned, biopsy collected for histomorphometric...
