This case report discusses the successful management of a deep palatal developmental groove associated with Stage III generalized Grade C periodontitis. Despite prior nonsurgical periodontal therapy, disease progressed rapidly, necessitating further intervention. A comprehensive evaluation revealed periodontitis localized tooth-related predisposing factor due to in vital upper left lateral incisor. The initial treatment involved scaling and root planing (SRP) coupled systemic antibiotics....
Abstract Background Immediate implants have shown risks of esthetic complications. The hypothesis was that a customized healing abutment could improve the peri‐implant tissue healing. Purpose To evaluate and compare soft hard around immediate received bone grafting vs standard abutment. Materials Methods Patients, who required tooth extraction an implant (with alloplastic graft material) were randomly assigned to or group. Clinical radiographic examinations taken at baseline, 4 12 months....
Abstract Background Lateral maxillary sinus augmentation (MSA) is a predictable bone regeneration technique in case of atrophy the posterior‐upper maxilla. Aimed at obtaining quantity and quality suitable for receiving osseointegrated implants, its success largely due to skill surgeon, but also characteristics biomaterial used. Methods Twenty‐four patients needing MSA were included study. The randomly allocated three different groups: anorganic bovine mineral as control, tricalcium phosphate...
Abstract Background Peri‐implant infections are associated with the establishment and maturation of a bacterial biofilm characterized by predominance Gram‐negative fusiform anaerobic species. The decontamination implant surfaces is then crucial for successful peri‐implant therapy. Methods Twenty‐one smooth 21 rough implants, divided into four groups according to surface treatment modality, were contaminated Streptococcus sanguinis placed in an incubator atmosphere 5% CO2 at 37°C 24 hours...
Abstract Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP’s) represent a valuable tool for gathering knowledge and summarising the latest trends in medicine dentistry. education has been found, even before COVID-19 pandemic, to increase level of stimulate effective learning postgraduate healthcare professionals. Interprofessional is critical preparing students enter health workforce, where teamwork collaboration are important competencies. This article outlines key points Programme’s implementation dental...
The apical portion of the implant osteotomy receives less irrigation and cooling during surgical preparation. High bone temperature, above critical 10°C threshold, may impair osseointegration, particularly around dense cortical bone. aim this study was to evaluate plate temperature increase with two different devices pressure loads in a porcine rib ex vivo model.A total 24 sites were prepared on ribs, divided into 4 groups 6 samples each, according device used (conventional drill system or...
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw are bone exposures in maxillofacial region that does not heal after 8 weeks from observation a health care provider patients with history intake antiresorptive agents and no previous irradiation craniofacial region. Initially attributed only to bisphosphonates they have later been associated also other classes medications.This retrospective study analyzed records documented medication-related jaws treated our unit. Clinical data, comorbidities...
The aim of this ex vivo study is to assess decontamination potential two different diode laser wavelengths, with or without the aid photodynamic therapy, on dental implant surfaces and evaluate harmful temperature increase during irradiation.One hundred thirty-two machined sterile implants were placed into porcine bone blocks standardized coronal angular bony defects inoculated Streptococcus sanguinis. Four treatment protocols used: 810 980 nm laser, photosensitization. Two nontreated...
The thickness of the soft tissues around dental implants is crucial for both preservation marginal bone and esthetic profile. Many authors have showed thickened favor a better peri-implant stability; however, different thickening techniques can be used this aim.Forty-seven patients were enrolled in study, each one had implant included analysis. According to procedure, assigned into group A (porcine dermal matrix, n = 24) or B (healing abutment as tenting screw sustain tissues, 23), tissue...
The management of patients under treatment with Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) has led clinicians to deal two clinical issues, such as the hemorrhagic risk in case non-interruption or thromboembolism suspension treatment. primary aim this retrospective study was evaluate incidence perioperative bleeding events and healing complications who were Rivaroxaban received dental implants immediate prosthetic restoration. Patients treated (Xarelto 20 mg daily) needed implant rehabilitation...
Tooth extractions can result in alveolar bone dimensional changes, necessitating additional grafting for implant placement. Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) aims to counteract postextraction changes. This case series evaluates the regenerative properties of a freeze-dried allograft (FDBA) and clinical outcomes implants grafted extraction sites. A total 33 patients were enrolled, undergoing single/multiple tooth followed by ARP. Biopsy samples harvested during placement histologic...
The aim of this study was to examine 10 different shades pink ceramic determine which one best matches the mean color human gingiva. Bar-shaped zirconia samples were fabricated and veneered with 1 veneering ceramics. gingiva at central maxillary incisors 20 healthy volunteers compared ceramics using a spectrophotometer (Spectroshade, MHT). obtained parameters L*, a*, b* (CIELAB) used calculate difference (ΔE). Mean ΔE values descriptively analyzed threshold value for visibility differences...
Tooth autotransplantation is a procedure which provides the extraction of an erupted or impacted tooth and its repositioning to another site in oral cavity. This Case Report describes successful case two autotransplantations open-apex mandibular third molars place hopeless first with use L-PRF growing patient. A 15-year-old male patient was referred Dental Clinic for extractions molars. Autotransplantation considered best treatment option both sites 36 46, because presence (38 48) incomplete...
This study was conducted to compare the bone cutting performance of piezoelectric device with traditional drills in terms cut execution time, environmental noise produced, surface morphology characteristics, and residual cell vitality samples.Two fresh pig jaws were obtained from a local slaughterhouse, nine samples standard size (1 cm3) harvested each jaw: three using piezosurgery, multiblade bur mounted on surgical handpiece, diamond high-speed for total 18 samples. Two harvesting method...
