This study aimed to measure the amount of maxillary sinus pneumatization (MSP) extended into alveolar processes in different age groups via cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and its association wit...
The data of 293 adult patients (533 maxillary sinuses) who underwent CBCT at our hospital from January 2020 to October 2020 were analyzed and divided into the following age groups: group I (18-34 year...
The amount of MSP of group I [(3.75 ± 3.77) mm] was significantly higher than that of group II [(2.30 ± 4.48) mm] and group III [(2.09 ± 4.70) mm], but there was no significant difference between grou...
The amount of MSP was significantly higher in the 18-34 years old group compared to older age groups, showed a decreasing trend with age and was not associated with sex and maxillary sinus sides....
A recent systematic review failed to identify one approach for alveolar ridge preservation with superior outcomes. The present case series aimed to evaluate the dimensional changes of sites undergoing...
The sockets were filled with a collagen sponge up to 4-5 mm from the most coronal extensions of the crest. Xenograft particles were placed to fill the coronal part. In cases with a compromised buccal/...
The study population consisted in 10 extraction sites. Mean change in bone width and vertical ridge position as observed from BARP to re-entry for implant placement were 1.3 mm (14.4%) and 0.6 mm, res...
The stratification of materials proposed in BARP-technique and the additional use of a resorbable device to stabilize graft particles at the buccal aspect provided the conditions for maintaining the r...
Alveolar ridge preservation is routinely indicated in clinical practice with the purpose of attenuating postextraction ridge atrophy. Over the past two decades numerous clinical studies and reviews on...
The purpose of this study was to compare different materials' effects on alveolar ridge preservation of postextraction sockets in anterior maxilla....
In this prospective, single center, randomized, controlled clinical trial, healthy patients who needed one single anterior maxillary tooth extraction (including bicuspids) were selected. After a minim...
Forty patients (24 women and 16 men) ranging from 25 to 70 years old (mean of 42 years old) participated in this study. Group 2 showed the least alveolar ridge height loss results in CBCT (9.8 ± 1.9% ...
In postextraction sockets of the anterior maxilla and bicuspid region, group 2 (xenogenous bone graft with free gingival graft) and group 3 (dense polytetrafluoroethylene) obtained the best results in...
Periodontal health in men with HIV remains understudied, despite suggestions of associations between HIV infection and gingival pocketing, periodontal attachment loss, and gingival inflammation. As an...
Ninety-three men (50 HIV+, 43 HIV-) aged 35-70 years were recruited from Columbia University Irving Medical Center clinics. Periodontal examination, GCF collection, and intraoral radiographs were coll...
While no significant differences were observed in bleeding on probing, clinical attachment loss and pocket depths, men with HIV exhibited significantly greater alveolar crestal height on radiographs c...
Men living with HIV demonstrate increased alveolar bone loss compared to those without HIV, possibly mediated by elevated IL6 levels. These results underscore the importance of comprehensive oral heal...
The aim of this study was to investigate the alveolar bone density and thickness in Chinese participants with and without periodontitis....
This study was retrospective and cross-sectional in nature and used cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate alveolar bone loss, bone density, and bone thickness around 668 mandibular molars (...
The alveolar bone density significantly differed between the healthy and periodontitis groups (mean difference = 24.4 Hounsfield units; P = .007). Similarly, the alveolar bone thickness of the healthy...
Alveolar bone thickness and density were reduced at periodontally diseased teeth....
Alveolar ridge resorption following tooth extraction often renders a lateral bone augmentation inevitable. Some patients, however, suffer from severe early (during graft healing, E...
Patients who underwent a guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedure were screened for inclusion according to the following criteria: (1) a relatively symmetrical maxillary arch; (2) an intact contra-lat...
A total of 17 patients (23 augmented sites) were included. After E...
Within the limitations of this study, the results indicate that the dimensions of a lateral bone augmentation are defined by the "individual phenotypic bone boundaries" of the patient....
This review aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of autogenous particulated dentin (APD) used for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP), evaluating volume gain, histologic/histomorphometric data, an...
The review followed PRISMA guidelines and was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). An automated search was made in four databases (Medline/Pubmed, Sco...
Eleven studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included for descriptive analysis, with a total of 215 patients, and 337 alveoli preserved by APD, spontaneous healing (blood clot), or other b...
After dental extraction, autogenous dentin was effective in terms of volume maintenance, showing promising results in histologic/histomorphometric analysis, and a low complication rate. Nevertheless, ...
An urgent issue is the preservation or reconstruction of the volume of bone tissue in planning and surgical treatment in the fields of medicine, such as traumatology, orthopedics, maxillofacial surger...
Alveolar crestal bone thickness and level provide important diagnostic and prognostic information for orthodontic treatment, periodontal disease management and dental implants. Ionizing radiation-free...
The factor is a function of the speed ratio and the acute angle that the segment of interest makes with the beam axis perpendicular to the transducer. The phantom and cadaver experiments were designed...
The comparisons agree well with absolute errors not more than 4.9%. Dimension measurements on ultrasonographs can be properly corrected by applying the correction factor without recourse to the raw si...
The correction factor has reduced the measurement discrepancy on the acquired ultrasonographs for the tissue whose speed is different from the scanner's mapping speed....
