Ten patients who had atrophic mandibular ridge necessitating bone augmentation prior to implant placement were randomly selected, and corticocancellous block allografts were used to augment the latera...
During the 6-month evaluation period, all the block allografts had integrated well with the host tissue. Clinically, all the grafts were found to be firm in consistency, well-incorporated, and vascular...
Bone-block allografts can be employed as a marked graft material for the management of lateral ridge defects....
During precise and accurate surgical methods, this type of bone graft can be safely used in regions of implant placement as a convenient alternative to autogenous grafts....
The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the benefit of ridge preservation (RP) with minimally invasive (MI) approaches with or without concomitant implant placement on morbidity, esthetics, ...
To evaluate the effects of the alveolar ridge split (ARS) technique on gained horizontal width of the alveolar ridge and implant survival rate....
Electronic searching was performed in six electronic databases (Pubmed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and SIGLE) ...
24 included studies were observational, and 1 study was a randomized controlled trial (RCT). 14 studies investigated the gained width of the horizontal alveolar ridge, and 17 examined the implants' su...
Recent ARS technique seems to be an effective method of bone augmentation with enough gained width and a high implant survival rate. Further long-term and RCTs research remains needed to enhance the s...
The ARS technique could generate sufficient bone volume, and implants had a high-level survival rate. Therefore, ARS has been proposed to be a reliable horizontal bone augmentation technique that crea...
This study quantitatively analyzed the anatomic structure of the alveolar bone in the maxillary molar region at three potential locations for Temporary Anchorage Device (TAD) placement. Additionally, ...
In this retrospective cone-beam computed tomography study, the buccal alveolar bone was analyzed in the posterior molar area of 200 patients, the measurement items include buccal alveolar bone height,...
Buccal alveolar height was greatest in the U56 region. The interradicular space was largest in the U56 region and increased from the alveolar crest to the sinus floor. Buccal alveolar bone thickness w...
TADs are safest when placed in the buccal area between the maxillary second premolar and the first molar, particularly at the 9 mm plane. The U67 region is the optimal safe zone for TAD placement for ...
There are many dental age estimation methods, but all the methods do not correspond, especially for aging methods for adults and mature individuals, to the reality of the forensic field, which favors ...
Anastomosis between posterior superior alveolar artery and infraorbital artery can go through bony canal in the lateral wall of the maxilla. This artery is called alveolar antral artery. It can compli...
The cone beam computed tomography scans of the patients (251 in number) of the university hospital were examined for presence of alveolar antral artery (148 was fulfilled inclusion criteria), patient ...
The cone beam computed tomography scans of 148 patients, out of it 55 man (37,2%) and 93 women (62,8%). Bony canal containing alveolar anastomosis was found in 69 cases (57,0%). Presence of the bony c...
Lateral sinus lifting in some cases can be unenviable, the knowledge about alveolar antral artery anatomy can reduce the risk of arterial bleeding. The cone-beam computed tomography is a routine exami...
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a validated technique with satisfactory outcomes during 30 years of follow-up. The use of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane for vertical augmentation has been s...
An electronic search in PubMed Central's and additional electronic databases was performed. The search strategy was limited to human studies, full-text English or French articles published from 1990 u...
A total of 43 articles were found to be eligible, and 11 of these met the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on the results of this systematic review, an algorithm for the management o...
Postoperative membrane exposure is not a determining factor for the success of bone grafting. In cases with postoperative complications, the majority of cases still achieved adequate implant-prostheti...
Anterior maxillary immediate implant placement has become a popular procedure. It has aesthetic and functional risks. A prerequisite for success is sufficient alveolar bone for primary stability. Many...
Seventy-two human skulls were scanned using micro-CT at the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation. Specialized software was used for 3-D rendering, segmentation, and visualization of the reconstruc...
Buccal bone rarely exceeded 0.5 mm, consisting of bundle bone only for all investigated teeth at all levels. Up to a third of teeth showed buccal fenestrations. Alveolar bone on the palatal side was t...
Immediate implants in the anterior maxillae has anatomical risks. Alveolar bone on the buccal aspect is very thin, with fenestrations in certain positions. Therefore, a thorough planning and individua...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate soft and hard tissue alterations around implants with a modified marginal portion placed in a healed, sloped ridge over 3 years of follow-up....
65 patients with a single recipient implant site in an alveolar ridge with a lingual-buccal sloped configuration were recruited. Implants with a modified geometry in the marginal portion were installe...
57 patients with 57 implant-supported restorations attended the 3 years follow-up examination. The radiographic analysis revealed a mean marginal bone loss of 0.57 mm during the 3 years period. While ...
Hard and soft tissues formed around dental implants that were designed to match the morphology of an alveolar ridge with a lingual-buccal sloped configuration remained stable over 3 years....
