Are Bone Allografts Safe and Effective for Today’s Dental Practitioner?

چکیده
A wide variety of dental procedures, including ridge and sinus augmentation, treatment of bony defects, and extraction socket preservation, may require a bone grafting material. To meet this need, there are many choices available including alloplasts, xenografts, autografts, and allografts. In particular, allografts, being a natural, human biological matrix and readily available have proven clinically reliable. However, not all allografts are equal in terms of processing, sterility, and proven clinical performance for dental applications. Here, we review the use of disinfected and terminally sterilized bone allografts for dental applications.

Background & Aim: When comparing bone autograft and allograft, conditions like performing two surgeries at the same time in an individual, size limitations of autografts, bleeding etc. forced specialists to think about the possible substitution of autografts with the allograft. In this study considering the importance of the kind of the chosen bone for graft, its embryologic origin, its his...

Background. Lateral ridge augmentation is conventionally accomplished by means of autogenous bone grafts. However, due to its complications, the application of autogenous bone graft substitutes, e.g. mineralized corticocancellous allograft, is ecommended. Methods. In the present study, twelve patients were included, with insufficient alveolar ridge widths in the designated sites for dental impl...

Introduction: Flabby or fibrous ridge is one of the consequences of long term wearing of complete dentures. It can develop where hyperplasic soft tissue replaces the alveolar bone and is a common finding, particularly in the upper anterior region of long term denture wearers. Forces exerted during impression making can result in distortion of the mobile tissue unless managed appropriately; such...
