Objectives: Highlight the outcome of alveolar grafting with synthetic bone substitute (Osteon III) only in various defect volumes. Material and Method: Prospective study accomplished on 55 patients (6-13 years aged) unilateral cleft. Osteon III, consisting hydroxyapatite (HA) tricalcium phosphate (TCP) used to reconstruct defect. Alveolus diameter calculated before surgery (V1), after 3 months ...

E ndosseous dental implants are currently the most innovative and exciting treatment modality in dentistry. They are being widely used for a variety of indications, and most of the various techniques in use are evidence-based and predictable. However, in many cases, the intended implant site is compromised because of poor bone quality (i.e., low bone density, in the case of highly cancellous bo...

BACKGROUND The primary objective of this study is to use histomorphometric techniques to evaluate the concept that the new bone formed in the maxillary sinus lift procedure emanates from the endosteum of the sinus floor. In addition, the effect of the residual crest vertical dimension on the graft outcome and assessment of osteoclast numbers as an indirect measure of a connection between the cr...

PURPOSE Following tooth extraction, alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) can maintain the dimensions of ridge height and width. Although previous studies have demonstrated the effects of ARP, few if any studies have investigated the compressive force applied during grafting. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of different compressive forces on the graft materials during ARP. METH...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the patient s perception of the events during and after an osteogenic alveolar distraction (OAD) procedure MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of fifty-five (55) osteogenic alveolar distraction (OAD) procedures were performed in fifty (50) patients, who then were asked to answer ten (10) questions related to the treatment. Six (6) questions made refere...

the maxillofacial region is one of the most injury-prone areas during road traffic accidents, personal violence, falls and sports. maxillofacial trauma can lead to breakage or avulsion of upper anterior teeth, which may cause significant aesthetic and functional problems. there are many treatment options available for rehabilitation including removable partial dentures, fixed partial dentures, ...

BACKGROUND Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a widely used procedure for augmenting alveolar ridge width prior to placement of endosseous implants. Various graft materials and barrier membranes (non-resorbable and bioabsorbable) have been used in GBR. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of a new bioabsorbable, synthetic polyglycolic acid/trimethylene carbonate (PGA/TMC) barrier ...

Alveolar cleft is the major problem during the formation of the ideal dental arch and dental reconstruction in cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) patients. In 1972, Boyne and Sands introduced secondary autogenous particulate cancellous bone and marrow (PCBM) grafting for the treatment of alveolar and residual palatal clefts (Boyne and Sands, 1972) Nowadays, a golden standard protocol for the dental ...

The aim of the current ongoing study is to evaluate the long-term results of endosseous implants placed into autogenous bone grafts from intraoral donor sites. Patient selection for the correction of bone deficiencies was based on biomechanical and esthetic needs. Donor site selection was dependent upon the type of deficiency and the graft shape needed. Two-stage implants were placed after a he...
