Background: The preservation of bone volume immediately after tooth removal might be necessary to optimize the success implant placement in terms esthetics and function. objectives this randomized clinical trial were two‐fold: 1) compare dimensional changes following extraction with plus ridge using corticocancellous porcine a collagen membrane; 2) analyze histologic histomorphometric aspects extraction‐alone sites grafted sites. Methods: Forty subjects who required enrolled study. Using...

Background: Implants placed immediately after tooth extraction offer several advantages, but many authors have reported problems in filling the residual gap between implant and socket walls. Barrier grafting techniques been tested yield varying results, so it has suggested that timing of placement may be important for success. The aim this study was to analyze bone healing coronal remodeling around 35 implants, 20 removal 15 6 8 weeks extraction. Methods: All implants were submerged within...

Abstract Introduction As a consequence of extraction, the height buccal wall tends to decrease and results in disappearance bundle bone. To modify bone remodelling after various ridge preservation techniques have been proposed. The present research was drawn up with following considerations mind: evaluate compare changes hard soft tissues post‐extraction sockets which received procedure, had healed naturally. Materials methods Each patient randomly allocated test or control group using...

To investigate whether specific predictive profiles for patient-based risk assessment/diagnostics can be applied in different subtypes of peri-implantitis.This study included patients with at least two implants (one or more presenting signs peri-implantitis). Anamnestic, clinical, and implant-related parameters were collected scored into a single database. Dental implant was chosen as the unit analysis, complete screening protocol established. The affected by peri-implantitis then clustered...

Background: Implants placed immediately after tooth extraction have shown high percentages of clinical success. Few studies in the scientific literature observed horizontal bone remodeling buccallingual direction immediate placement implants. The aim this study was to analyze healing and coronal around 15 implants removal without use guided regeneration (GBR) techniques. Methods: Ten patients received a total single‐rooted teeth. All were within alveolar confines, limiting, most cases, small...

Some of the original surgical protocols for implant surgery have been reassessed to satisfy patient's continuously increasing expectation shorter rehabilitation time, improved esthetics, and increased comfort. The aim this study was evaluate 12-month clinical success 18 single-tooth implants inserted immediately after tooth extraction restored same day with non-functional loading.A total patients (12 women six men), 22 60 years old, were enrolled in study.

Background: The alveolar ridge undergoes reabsorption and atrophy subsequent to tooth removal thus exhibits a wide range of dimensional changes. Preservation the crest after extraction is essential enhance surgical site before implant fixture placement. aim this randomized clinical study investigate compare need for additional augmentation procedures at insertion, as well success rate marginal bone loss implants placed in grafted sites versus those naturally healed sites. Methods: Forty...

Background: The preservation of hard and soft tissue volume, partially lost after tooth removal, can potentially reduce the need for more demanding augmentation procedures used in implant‐supported rehabilitation. objective this research study is to investigate effect filling with xenogeneic material postextractive sockets two surgical (flapless versus flapped). Methods: In prospective randomized clinical survey, types socket were performed on groups patients: control, treated via...

Tooth extraction is followed by marked osseous changes of the residual alveolar ridge including severe bone alterations both in height and width. However, such remodelling could jeopardize subsequent implant insertion for two main reasons. Firstly, absence adequate levels makes placement impossible; secondly, aesthetic problems fabrication implanto-supported restoration be caused serious re-absorption. Thus, it crucial importance that dental surgeon knows how crest when a single tooth has...
