Introduction In the posterior maxillary sextants, insertion of implants of desired length and diameter is often limited by the dimensional alterations of the residual ridge as well as the pneumatization of the maxillary sinus occurring after tooth loss. Transcrestal sinus floor elevation (tSFE) represents a surgical option to vertically enhance the available bone in the posterior maxillary sext...

Primary stability is absence of mobility in the bone bed after mini-implant placement and depends on bone quality among other factors. Bone quality is a subjective term frequently considered as bone density. The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate bone density in two bovine pelvic regions and verify the primary stability of miniscrews inserted into them. Forty bone blocks were extract...

Progressive loss of bone mineral density around the femora! component of total hip replacement continues to pose a threat to long term prosthetic survival. A linear study was undertaken to measure bone mineral density on a monthly basis following total hip arthroplasty in 11 male patients. The opposite femur was used as the control measurement. Bone mineral density was unchanged at two mo...

background: osteoporosis is a major public health concern around the world. it has been shown that bone mineral den­sity is correlated to anthropometric measures like height and weight, but this association may vary depending on ethnic and environmental factors. the aim of this study was to identify probable relations between anthropometric measures and bone mineral density. methods: in this po...

osteoporosis is a silent epidemy of today's world, and is also a prevalent problem of health in iran. the role of nutrients such as ascorbic acid, a key antioxidant vitamin, in this disease has recently attracted researchers' attention. in this study, we studied the relation between plasma ascorbic acid concentration and bone mineral density (bmd) in women referring to jami clinic, te...

the purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of 3-years of moderate multi-component exercise training on bone mineral density and bone mineral content in a female subject with osteoporosis. a 57-year-old postmenopausal woman, a known case of osteoporosis following an accident, participated in this study. bone mineral density and bone mineral content was measured in the femoral nec...
