This study reviews the outcome of implant placement in 61 patients after augmentation of severely atrophic alveolar bone with a bovine bone mineral, Bio-Oss. Bone augmentation was performed at 4 different sites: alveolar crest width, alveolar crest height, antral cavity, or nasal cavity. After a mean healing time of 11.9 months, 231 implants were placed in Bio-Oss bone. The time of loading of t...

Alveolar ridge bone resorption is a biologic phenomenon that occurs following tooth extraction and cannot be prevented. This paper reviews the vertical and horizontal ridge dimensional changes that are associated with tooth extraction. It also provides an overview of the advantages of ridge preservation as well as grafting materials. A Medline search among English language papers was performed ...

conclusions alendronate may be considered a therapeutic option for improving the bone formation process and reducing resorption in different bone grafting procedures. further detailed studies should focus on dosage and time-dependent effects of alendronate on bone remodeling. results at 6 weeks, the bone area was significantly larger in the xenograft-alendronate group (33.0% ± 5.0%) than in the...

Introduction: Alveolar bone is the most affected of periodontal diseases. Bone grafts such as autograft, allograft, xenograft and, alloplastic often are used, but they have limitations. So, graft still a major problem that continues to inspire design new materials. The purpose this article review clinical and biologic function, advantages, disadvantages dentin an autograft allograft in therapy....

BACKGROUND The reconstruction of a functional occlusion in the presence of severe residual ridge resorption remains a significant challenge for maxillofacial surgeons and prosthodontists. Removable appliances are unsuccessful in severely resorbed cases and the advanced degree of bone loss precludes conventional implant-retained prostehesis. In recent years, bone graft reconstruction of the maxi...

Background: The loss of alveolar bone support is the main symptoms destructive periodontal disease. Periodontitis leads to formation interbony defects. For resolution infection, elimination IBD highly needed. filing and regeneration in therapy, different grafts are used. Objective: study aimed evaluate efficacy calcium phosphate composite graft patients suffering from intrabony problems. Study ...
