Soft tissue grafting to improve implant esthetics
Dental implants are becoming the treatment of choice to replace missing teeth, especially if the adjacent teeth are free of restorations. When minimal bone width is present, implant placement becomes a challenge and often resulting in recession and dehiscence around the implant that leads to subsequent gingival recession. To correct such defect, the author turned to soft tissue autografting and...
متن کاملQuantitative diagnostics of soft tissue through viscoelastic characterization using time-based instrumented palpation.
Although palpation has been successfully employed for centuries to assess soft tissue quality, it is a subjective test, and is therefore qualitative and depends on the experience of the practitioner. To reproduce what the medical practitioner feels needs more than a simple quasi-static stiffness measurement. This paper assesses the capacity of dynamic mechanical palpation to measure the changes...
متن کاملUniaxial Wireless Tissue Palpation Device for Minimally Invasive Surgery
Nowadays surgery tends to be performed with minimally invasive techniques that result in less post-operative pain, recovery time and smaller incisions. However, unlike open surgery, during minimally invasive surgery (MIS) the surgeon has few chances to rely on tactile and kinesthetic feedback [1]. Tissue palpation aids in preventing traumas or in leveraging tactile information to identify tumor...
متن کامل[Head and neck soft tissue sarcoma].
Soft tissue sarcoma arising as a head and neck lesion is very rare in adults. Therefore, no standardized treatment exists for this entity of disease. We retrospectively analyzed 11 cases of head and neck soft tissue sarcomas treated at Osaka University Hospital from 1991 to 2011. They were pathologically classified as follows: 5 cases with rhabdomyosarcoma, 2 cases with liposarcoma, 2 cases wit...
