Background: The need for keratinized mucosa (KM) or immobile (i.e., attached [AM]) the maintenance of osseointegrated endosseous dental implants has been controversial. purpose this study was to investigate significance KM in root‐form with different surfaces. Methods: A total 339 place at least 3 years 69 patients were evaluated. width and AM, modified plaque index (mPI), gingival (GI), bleeding (mBI), probing depth (PD), average annual bone loss (ABL) measured clinically radiographically...
The crestal bone level and soft tissue dimension are essential for periodontal diagnosis phenotype determination; yet, existing measurement methods have limitations. aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the correlation accuracy ultrasound in measuring dimensions, compared direct cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) methods.A 24-MHz probe prototype, specifically designed intraoral use, employed. Periodontal dimensions levels were measured at 40 teeth 20 single missing tooth gaps from...
Abstract Aim To assess the prognostic value of soft tissue phenotype modification following root coverage procedures for predicting long‐term (10‐year) behaviour gingival margin. Materials and Methods Participants from six randomized clinical trials on at University Michigan were re‐invited a longitudinal evaluation. Clinical measurements obtained by two calibrated examiners. A data‐driven approach to model selection with Akaike information criterion (AIC) was carried out via multilevel...
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) evolved from the concept of guided tissue (GTR) and has been used for reconstructing sites with deficiencies associated dental implants. For GBR, use absorbable collagen membranes increasing, but, at present, scientific information on GBR is limited. This study was aimed to clinically histomorphometrically compare two membranes, Bio-Gide(R) BioMend ExtendTM, treatment implant dehiscence defects in eight mongrel dogs. Implant were surgically created edentulous...
Background: Flapless implant surgery has been suggested as one possible treatment option for enhancement of esthetics. Methods: Twenty‐four patients with a missing tooth in the premaxillary region were randomly assigned to two groups (12 each): immediate loading (IL) or delayed (DL) (loading after 4 months). An endosseous was placed each patient via flapless surgery. Clinical measurements including papillary index (PPI) (0, no papilla; 1, less than half; 2, more half but not complete fill;...
Biological mediators have been used to enhance periodontal regeneration. The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study was evaluate the safety and effectiveness 3 doses fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) when combined with a β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffold carrier placed in vertical infrabony defects adult patients. In double-blinded, dose-verification, externally monitored clinical study, 88 patients who required surgical intervention treat qualifying defect were 1 4...
Abstract Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of barrier membranes on sandwich bone augmentation (SBA) for treatment implant dehiscence defects. Material and methods: Twenty‐six implant‐associated buccal defects in 22 patients were treated according SBA concept – mineralized human cancellous allograft (inner layer), cortical (outer layer) coverage with membrane. The randomly assigned bovine collagen membrane (BME) group; acellular dermal matrix (ADM) no group....
Background: The purpose of this study is to assess the influence placement level implants with a laser‐microtextured collar design on outcomes crestal bone and soft tissue levels. In addition, we assessed vertical horizontal defect fill identified factors that influenced clinical immediate implant placement. Methods: Twenty‐four patients, each hopeless tooth (anterior or premolar region), were recruited receive dental implants. Patients randomly assigned have placed at palatal crest 1 mm...
The aim of this cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) study was to investigate the incidence fenestration and associated risk factors with virtual placement an implant in maxillary incisor region.Edentulous ridges missing a central or lateral amenable for single were included. Root-form implants (4×12 mm 3.5×12 incisors, respectively) placed virtually edentulous space following axis ipsilateral crown. Buccolingually, ideal prosthetic cingulum position. angles ridge (RA) (IA) relation hard...
To evaluate the long term root coverage outcomes of coronally advanced flap plus a connective tissue graft with (CAF + CTG) or without an epithelial collar ECTG), and adjacent treated sites included in flap.Seventeen original 20 subjects randomized clinical trial were available at 12 years (43 sites). Mean (mRC), keratinized width (KTW), gingival thickness (GT) on grafted evaluated compared baseline 6 months.There was reduction mRC all sites: 16.52% CAF CTG (p > .05), 19.42% ECTG < .05)...
The use of intra-oral soft-tissue-engineered devices has demonstrated potential for oral mucosa regeneration. aim this study was to investigate the temporal expression angiogenic biomarkers during wound healing soft tissue reconstructive procedures comparing living cellular constructs (LCC) with autogenous free gingival grafts. Forty-four human participants bilaterally lacking sufficient zones attached keratinized gingiva were randomly assigned surgery plus either LCC or autograft. Wound...
Background: Implant therapy is a highly predictable treatment option; however, insufficient data exist to show whether flapless implant surgery provides better esthetic outcomes and less bone loss than with flap approach. Methods: In this randomized, controlled study comparing the traditional protocol for placement, 24 patients received single in anterior maxillary region. A cone beam computed tomography–aided surgical guide was used placement both groups. Implants were restored using...
Consistency in clinical decision making may be necessary for reliable assessment of student performance and teaching effectiveness, yet little has been done to examine variation periodontal diagnosis treatment planning among dental school faculty. The purpose this investigation was faculty management common diseases. Twenty-seven instructors (periodontists, general dentists, hygienists, first- second-year graduate students) reviewed three web-based cases answered a brief questionnaire...
Background: A solvent‐preserved, mineralized human cancellous bone allograft (MBA) was recently developed. However, its effect in regenerating furcation defects remains to be determined. Hence, the aim of study is evaluate effects this newly introduced MBA, with and without a bioabsorbable collagen membrane, for treatment mandibular class II defects. Methods: Thirty subjects Hamp's Class buccal or lingual lower molars were randomly assigned open flap debridement (OFD), MBA membrane (guided...
Abstract Objectives Sandwich bone augmentation ( SBA ) has been proposed to augment the width of edentulous ridges for implant placement. This study aimed investigate effect a membrane on regeneration buccal dehiscence defects. Material and methods Twenty‐six healthy patients, each with single defect, were randomly assigned into two groups. Both groups received an inner outer layer mineralized human cancellous cortical particulate allograft. In test group, bovine pericardium covered grafts,...
