Abstract Introduction Oral diseases are common and affect millions of people worldwide. They can range from mild easily treatable conditions to more severe serious diseases. Proper oral hygiene regular dental monitoring essential for maintaining good health. When it comes children’s health well-being, parents’ education level plays a critical role. Research has shown that higher educational attainment is associated with better outcomes their children. Our aim evaluate whether employment...
Numerous autogenous bone-grafting procedures are available for the recovering of large continuity defects mandible. However, these surgical techniques present several limitations involving postoperative morbidity and pain. The development new bone technique reconstruction not graft would offer opportunities facial reconstruction. This report highlights possibility recombinant human morphogenetic protein type 2 (rhBMP-2) application without concomitant grafting material in restoration...
The goal of this study was to demonstrate the technique and effectiveness incorporating recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) established sandwich osteotomy technique. Although success procedure has been well documented, we hope show that addition rhBMP-2 will enhance formation. We performed a in patients who had treated initially by grafting with suboptimal results. Only defects involving anterior maxilla (3 patients) or mandible (1 patient) were included. There 4...
Maxillary sinus floor elevation via a lateral approach is predictable technique to increase bone volume of the edentulous posterior maxilla and consequently for dental implants placement. The elevated it can be augmented with either autologous or xenogeneic grafts following an opening window created on facial buccal wall. septa are walls cortical within maxillary sinus. shape has been described as inverted gothic arch arising from inferior may even divide into two more cavities. Some authors...
The aim of the present study is to compare histological aspects bone formation in atrophic posterior mandibles augmented by autologous block from chin area with corticocancellous allograft used as inlays sandwich technique. Materials and Methods . Sixteen patients bilateral partial edentulism mandible were selected. residual height, preliminarily measured computed tomography scans, ranged between 5 7 mm inferior alveolar nerve. All required regeneration procedure (control group) versus Puros...
(1) Background: To mitigate the shortage of respiratory devices during Covid-19 epidemic, dental professional volunteers can contribute to create printed plastic valves, adapting digital workflow and converting snorkeling masks in emergency CPAP (continuous positive airways pressure) devices. The objective this report was provide specific settings optimize printing with 3D printers industry. (2) Methods: In order comprehensive technical notes volunteer professionals interested Charlotte Dave...
The aim of this paper is to underline the mechanical properties dental single crown prosthodontics materials in order differentiate possibility using each material for typical clinical condition and masticatory load. Objective investigation highlight stress distribution over different common crowns by computer-aided design software a three-dimensional virtual model. By engineering systems analyses like FEM Von Mises investigations it has been highlighted strength simulated lower first...
Aims: The study aims to assess the accuracy of digital planning in dentistry, evaluating characteristics different intraoral 3D scanners and comparing it with traditional imaging 2D recording methods. Specifically, using computer aided design (CAD) software measuring inside CAD software, authors want verify reliability models obtained techniques machines. Methods: 12 patients that needed aesthetic restorative treatment were enrolled study. All underwent data height width dental elements 1.1,...
To explore the relationship between parents' education levels, children obesity, oral health and oral-related sleep disorders.Prevention of diseases in is important for their long-term health. Parents play a crucial role wellness children. As such, it parents to be well-informed about importance children's health, as well steps they can take ensure that receive best possible care.Observational cross-sectional study. At time enrollment data regarding employment status level were collected. We...
Condylar hyperplasia (CH) is a rare condition characterised by excessive unilateral growth of the mandibular condyle after cessation on contralateral side causing facial asymmetry, being more prevalent in second and third decades.The aim this study was to determine utility vascular endothelial factor (VEGF-A) as diagnostic prognostic condylar hyperplasia, its potential viability therapeutic target.This case-control study, where 17 condyles specimens were collected from patients treated for...
