Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an essential diagnostic tool in oral radiology. Radiolucent periapical lesions (PALs) represent the most frequent jaw lesions. However, description, interpretation, and documentation of radiological findings, especially incidental are time-consuming resource-intensive, requiring a high degree expertise. To improve quality, dentists may use artificial intelligence form deep learning tools. This study was conducted to develop validate convolutional...
Abstract: Since platelet ‐rich plasma (PRP) has been introduced to the field of oral surgery, it become a widely accepted additive for bone regeneration treatment. The aim this study was evaluate regenerative capacity PRP in sinus graft on sheep. Twelve adult sheep underwent bilateral floor elevation procedure with cancellous from iliac crest. Unilaterally, administrated graft. After 4 (six sheep) and 12 weeks sheep), biopsies were obtained each site. With histomorphometric analysis we...
The aim of this retrospective investigation was to assess the dimensional stability different grafting materials after maxillary sinus floor augmentation with computed tomography (CT) scans.Two postoperative CT scans were available from 16 patients who had undergone lift procedures. first scan made within a few days surgical intervention and second one >6 months later. A total 25 sinuses augmented before implant insertion by lateral antrostomy in staged approach. volume bone formation...
Abstract Objectives Aim of this controlled prospective randomized study was to evaluate the outcome two‐piece zirconia implants compared titanium over a period up 24 months. Material and methods A total 31 (16 zirconia/Ziterion vario Z ® + 15 titanium/Ziterion T ) were inserted primary stable (>30 Ncm) in maxilla (7) mandible (24) 22 patients (13 male, nine female) requiring neither bone nor soft tissue augmentation. After healing 6 months 4 mandible, ceramic abutments luted adhesively...
Aim of this prospective case series was to evaluate the outcome immediately provisionalized single-piece zirconia implants.A total 20 implants were inserted in single-tooth gaps maxilla (11) and mandible (9) patients. Implants restored with all-ceramic CAD/CAM provisionals without occlusal contacts after placement. Permanent restoration performed 4 months surgery. Plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), Periotest(®) (PV), pink aesthetic score (PES), mean radiographic marginal bone...
Abstract Objectives To prospectively evaluate, as part of an ongoing randomized pilot trial, the clinical outcomes two‐piece zirconia implants in comparison with titanium 80 months after delivery all‐ceramic (lithium disilicate) single‐tooth restorations. Material and methods The original sample included 31 (16 15 titanium) 22 healthy patients. In addition to evaluating implant survival success, a number or radiographic parameters were statistically analyzed: plaque index (PI), bleeding on...
Background: 3D printing is a rapidly developing technology in the healthcare industry and dentistry. Its application clearly shows that this area of digital dentistry has potential for everyday usage across all fields, including prosthodontics, orthodontics, maxillofacial surgery, oral implantology. However, despite gaining ground, there lack information about how specialists (dentists dental technicians) use additive technology. Our research group aimed to investigate impact social media on...
Various forms of stress behavior were documented and in patients with periodontitis their relationship periodontal disease was investigated.Eighty-nine different chronic included this retrospective case-control study. They all undergoing treatment at the Department Dental Prosthetics, University Graz, or a private dental practice. The control group consisted 63 persons employed health care Clinic Graz. All participants completed coping questionnaire 114 items 19 actional intrapsychic modes....
The aim of this experimental study was to evaluate if low-level laser treatment (LLLT) enhances bone regeneration and osseointegration dental implants in a sinus graft model.Twelve sheep underwent bilateral floor elevation procedure with cancellous from the iliac crest. Implant insertion followed 4 weeks (six sheep) 12 later. Sixteen after second-stage surgery, animals were sacrificed. Unilaterally, grafted during surgery implant sites irradiated intraoperatively three times first...
Most common complication of sinus floor elevation (SFE) is membrane perforation (SMP).To investigate the correlation between SMP and potential risk factors to evaluate treatment outcomes.This study included patients who had undergone a SFE at Division Oral Surgery Orthodontics, Medical University Graz from 2013 2017. Analysis patients' records CBCT focused on patient-related (sinus contours, thickness lateral wall, interfering septa, crossing vessels, former oroantral communication)...
Aim: The purpose of this study was to obtain data concerning growth factor release within liquid and solid platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) matrices estimate the amount potential interindividual variations as a basis for further preclinical clinical trials. Therefore, we aimed determine possible differences in factors between PRF. Materials Methods: Blood samples obtained from four subjects were processed both PRF using standard centrifugation protocol. Five (vascular endothelial factor, VEGF;...
doi:10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2009.00281.x Oral status among seniors in nine nursing homes Styria, Austria Objective: To investigate the oral state participants cared for residences senior citizens Austria. Materials and methods: Four hundred Styria from were examined employing parameters accordance with those of Folstein’s Mini Mental Status (MMS), DMFT, basic periodontal examination, modified hygiene index, pain experienced during preceding year, subjective objective need treatment, also...
Abstract Purpose Mesenchymal stem cells ( MSC ) with biomaterials have osteoinductive potential. The aim of this study was to evaluate early bone formation in xenogenic sinus grafts a direct comparison and without s after 3 6 months. Literature on pure graft materials months human model is still lacking. Materials methods In split‐mouth design, seven patients bilateral highly atrophic posterior maxilla were included. test side grafted from concentrated marrow aspirate admixed the material....
Abstract: Autogenous bone is the gold standard graft for sinus augmentation. The harvest of autogenous grafts from intraoral sites does often not provide sufficient volume and quality. A modified technique harvesting a tibial cancellous presented. With micro‐bone saw, bony lid prepared at medial condyle tibia. stays attached to tendinous pes anserinus. Following harvest, repositioned accurately. This method offers some distinct advantages. amount biologically highly valuable may be harvested...
To test whether or not the use of a xenogeneic block loaded with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) results in different quantity and quality compared to an autogenous block.Twenty-four patients insufficient volume for implant placement were randomly assigned two treatment modalities: rhBMP-2 (test) (control). The horizontal ridge width was evaluated prior augmentation, after augmentation at 4 months. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) assessed suture removal...
Background: Decompression is an approved alternative to cystectomy in the treatment of jaw cysts.This study aimed evaluate its effectiveness as initial procedure, well factors with potential influence outcome.Material and Methods: frequency decompression was analysed, whether completed one session or followed by enucleation at Division Oral Surgery Orthodontics, Department Dental Medicine Health, Medical University Graz, from 2005 2015.Further analysis focussed on potentially influencing...
Abstract Introduction Since antimicrobial resistance, caused by various factors including antibiotic overuse and abuse, is a severe challenge, the necessity of perioperative prophylactic for surgical third molar removal remains contentious topic. This study determined whether prophylaxis can reduce site infections (SSIs), swelling, pain in case wisdom teeth. Material methods A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial with split-mouth design. medication 2 g amoxicillin,...
Abstract: This follow‐up study evaluated clinical and radiographic parameters of dental implants placed in combination with guided bone regeneration barrier membranes. All functioned well up to 60 months after insertion. Forty‐one patients, a total 72 augmented implants, who participated regular maintenance protocol, were investigated. Annual Periotest values (median value, − 3) revealed stable periimplant conditions sustained osseointegration. At 6 annually thereafter five years, the...
