New strategies to fulfill craniofacial bone defects have gained attention in recent years due to the morbidity of autologous bone graft harvesting. We aimed to evaluate the in vivo efficacy of bone tissue engineering strategy using mesenchymal stem cells associated with two matrices (bovine bone mineral and α-tricalcium phosphate), compared to an autologous bone transfer. A total of 28 adult, m...

AIM The aim of this study was to assess the success and survival rate of dental implants placed with simultaneous hard tissue grafting. MATERIAL AND METHODS All patients treated in Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne who had implant placement with and without guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedures were identified. Seventy-three attended a follow-up appointment. These patients were examined ...

Bovine milk has been shown to contain bioactive components with bone-protective properties. Earlier studies on bovine milk whey protein showed that it suppressed bone resorption in the female ovariectomised rat. A new osteotropic component was subsequently identified in the whey basic protein fraction, but bone bioactivity may also be associated with other whey fractions. In the present study, ...

Calcium phosphate salts, or more specifically hydroxyapatite, are products of great interest in the fields of medical and dental science due to their biocompatibility and osteoconduction property. Deproteinized xenografts are primarily constituted of natural apatites, sintered or not. Variations in the industrial process may affect physicochemical properties and, therefore, the biological outco...

Introduction: Periodontitis is a chronic, multifactorial, inflammatory disease that leads to gradual loss of bone and periodontal attachment. Thus, surgery required according severity diseases. The goal reconstructive regenerate soft hard tissues destroyed during disease. Aim: To compare the effectiveness bioresorbable collagen mem...

AIMS To evaluate the outcomes of transcrestal sinus floor elevation (tSFE) performed with a minimally invasive procedure (Smart Lift technique) combined with the additional use of deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) or β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). METHODS In a multicenter randomized controlled trial, 38 sites in 38 patients were treated with the Smart Lift technique in association wit...

purpose: given that weight and body mass index (bmi) are considered as modifiable factors in osteoporosis, the present study aimed to examine the relationship of weight and bmi with bone mineral density (bmd) and bone mineral content (bmc) at the femur and lumbar vertebrae in perimenopausal women. methods: in this descriptive-correlational study, we measured the bone density of the femur and lu...
