To report on zygomatic implant (ZI) survival rate and associated complications through a longitudinal retrospective cohort assessment....
A total of 940 ZIs (rough: 781, machined: 159; immediate loading: 454, delayed loading: 486) and 451 standard implants (rough: 195, machined: 256; immediate loading: 58, delayed loading: 393) were pla...
The survival rate of ZI was found to be 89.9% and the average time between implant placement and an eventual loss was 4.8 years. The mean ZI follow-up period was 7.9 ± 4.9 years. Amongst the infectiou...
ZI placement offered a high survival rate for the rehabilitation of severely atrophied maxilla with most losses occurring within the first 5 years at follow-up. The most frequently observed complicati...
Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is described as an elevated lesion that is located mostly on the gingival mucosa and alveolar crest, consecutive to irritative factors and trauma. It predominant...
Epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma (EIMS) is a rare variant of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors located mostly in the intra-abdominal region. Herein, we present a case of a 32-year-ol...
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 purpose of this study was to investigate a correlation between the cusp dimensions of the first molar and mesiodistal crown diameters of the central incisors in the maxilla. The study materials we...
Tooth auto-transplantation is a treatment option, which is often not considered to replace anterior maxillary incisors in children and adolescents. There are multiple prognostic factors that may influ...
The clinical records of patients who had premolars transplanted in the anterior maxilla following TDI, with appropriate radiographs and a minimal of 1-year follow-up, were reviewed retrospectively. A ...
The cohort included 120 patients with 144 auto-transplanted premolars. The mean age was 12.2 years (±2.0), and the mean observation period was 3.7 years (±1.8). The success rate was 80%, and the survi...
Good outcomes were observed for premolar teeth auto-transplanted in the anterior maxilla. The main prognostic factors were ease of extraction of donor tooth and ease of placement in the recipient site...
The aim of this study is to evaluate recent evidence-based data that summarize the clinicopathological findings and treatment along with follow-up measures taken in terms of published cases of Juvenil...
The database search produced 595 articles from 2000 to 2022, among which 22 case reports were included in the systematic review. The mean age of JPOF occurrence in patients was 18 ± 16 years. A male p...
The diagnosis of JPOF requires correlation of the clinical and radiographic features with key histopathological features. Although long-term follow-up of the case reports has been reported, the data l...
Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm arising from the odontogenic epithelium. Ameloblastic carcinoma commonly occurs de novo affecting the posterior segments of the mandible. Presently,...
Simplification and standardization of interventions are critical challenges to improving performance in implant dentistry. This study aimed to systematically identify and schematically present the evi...
Electronic searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane CENTRAL. Primary clinical studies reporting surgical interventions in the anterior maxilla, with a sample size of at least ten patient...
Two hundred and seventy-two studies reporting on 9001 patients were included. Within the past two decades, the number of literatures on implant placement in the anterior maxilla has increased dramatic...
Research on immediate implant placement was the most reported surgical intervention in the anterior maxilla. Hard tissue augmentation was frequently reported simultaneously with or before implant plac...
To evaluate the feasibility and safety of the superficial circumflex iliac perforator flap (SCIP) for maxillary reconstruction with intraoral anastomosis, pedicle elongation, and super-microsurgery te...
Patients who underwent reconstruction of maxillary defects with SCIPs from July 2020 to December 2022 were included. Intraoral anastomosis, pedicle elongation, and super-microsurgery were performed du...
A total of 12 patients were included, with 3 males and 9 females, and the median age was 45 years, ranging from 14 to 74 years. There were 5 class IIa and 7 class IIb defects, 6 cases underwent maxill...
Superficial circumflex iliac perforator flaps can be regarded as feasible and safe choices for maxillary defects with the support of intraoral anastomosis, pedicle elongation and super-microsurgery....
