This paper describes a new technique for the closure of oro-antral fistula/communication, in which both hard tissue (bone) and soft tissue closure is achieved. The sandwich technique utilizes a suitable bone grafting material sandwiched between two sheaths of Biogide (a resorbable membrane) for the hard tissue closure of oro-antral communication post traumatic exodontia. The bone grafting mater...

introduction juvenile ossifying fibroma is a benign, bone-forming neoplasm with aggressive local growth that is distinguished from other fibro-osseous lesions primarily by its age of onset, clinical presentation and aggressive behavior. although a benign entity, juvenile ossifying fibroma is known to be locally aggressive and has a high tendency to recur. two distinctive microscopic patterns ha...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the status of supporting tissue around implant-supported fixed partial denture with or without cantilever clinically and radiographically during a four-year period. materials and methods: one hundred and fifty nine patients who were treated by 482 implants supported fixed partial prosthesis with and without cantilever after at least f...

objective: predoctoral dental implant education is included in dental school teaching curricula in most of the developed and some developing countries; however, it was not introduced into undergraduate curriculum of some countries and iranian dental schools. our purpose was to investigate the status of the predoctoral dental implant education of dental schools in the world. materials and method...

BACKGROUND Conventional dentoalveolar osseous reconstruction often involves the use of grafting materials with or without barrier membranes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of bone induction for the placement of dental implants by two concentrations of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) delivered on a bioabsorbable collagen sponge (ACS) compared to p...

the biological interaction between the jaw bones and dental implant is fundamental for the long-term success of dental implant placement. nevertheless, the insufficient bone volume remains a major clinical problem, especially in case of immediate dental implant. using a canine model, the present study proves the regenerative potential of adipose- derived stem cells (adscs) to repair peri-implan...

Literary data testify to the significant prevalence of dental implantation method solve problem permanent prosthetics in partial and complete anodontia. However, a array information needs systematization generalization, taking into account specifics providing care by institutions different regions. The authors conducted retrospective study main statistical regularities based on results 32 cases...

The purpose of this study was to investigate implant-supported restoration as a technique for restoring missing teeth in patients with aplastic anemia. Recurrent bleeding from wound sites leads to persistent release of iron in the tissue. Excessive iron in tissue is related to clinical findings, including fibrosis, poor wound healing, and high level of angiogenesis, which are possible etiologic...

BACKGROUND Peri-implant disease following successful integration of an endosseous implant is the result of an imbalance between bacterial load and host defense, which may affect not only the peri-implant mucosa but also involve the supporting bone. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the adjunctive effect of a dental water jet rinse mixed with chlorhexidine gel to the nonsurgical...
