Alveolar ridge resorption has long been considered an unavoidable consequence of tooth extraction. While the extent and pattern of resorption is variable among individuals, there is a progressive loss of ridge contour as a result of physiologic bone remodeling. Even today, with best modalities of tooth preservation, there is a group of elderly individuals who do not benefit from modern preventiv...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the bone quantity of alveoli grafted with autogenous particulate cancellous bone and marrow for implant placement in patients with alveolar clefts. Bone height, bone width, and interdental alveolar crest level were evaluated using computed tomography and periapical radiographs. The grafted alveoli underwent resorption 3-dimensionally, and the interden...

BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY There are strong evidences linking overproduction of reactive oxygen species and periodontal diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate efficacy of Angipars a natural potent anti oxidative agent on markers of the oxidative damages and periodontal inflammation in the rat. METHODS Periodontitis was induced by single injection of lipopolysaccharide (L...

OBJECTIVES The posterior maxillary region often provides a limited bone volume for dental implants. Maxillary sinus elevation via inserting a bone graft through a window opened in the lateral sinus wall has become the most common surgical procedure for increasing the alveolar bone height in place of dental implants in the posterior maxillary region. The purpose of this article is to assess the ...

ABSTRACT: Periodontitis is an inflammatory process of infectious origin affecting the teeth and their supporting structures, causing significant economic losses reducing animal welfare. Bacteria in gingival biofilm are one main factors initiating lesions. act directly on tissues or indirectly through substances that cause tissue damage. Studies etiopathogenesis periodontitis Brazilian sheep her...

The use of titanium mesh for localized alveolar ridge augmentation was evaluated by clinical, radiographic, laboratory, and histologic-histomorphometric evaluation. Seventeen patients participated in this study. All patients required localized alveolar ridge augmentation before placement of dental implants. An equal mixture of autogenous bone graft and inorganic bovine mineral (Bio-Oss) was use...

The extraction of teeth results in rapid bone resorption both vertically and horizontally in the first month. The loss of alveolar ridge reduces the chance of implant rehabilitation. The atraumatic extraction, implant placement in extraction socket, and an immediate prosthesis have been proposed as alternative therapies to maintain the volume and contours tissue and reduce time and cost of trea...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of systemic administration of low-dose doxycycline (DC) on orthodontic root resorption. The effect on alveolar bone, the cell population involved, and the amount of tooth movement were also evaluated.Fifty-six 40-50-day-old male Wistar rats were used. Six animals served as untreated controls. Six animals were only administered DC for 7 ...

Implant-based rehabilitation of edentulous mandibular posterior sectors tends to be complicated by the presence of bone atrophy. Following tooth loss, cortical bone suffers greater resorption on the vestibular than on the lingual aspect, and patients typically present narrow and low alveolar crests. In cases of moderate to severe mandibular atrophy, the bone height between the alveolar crest an...

INTRODUCTION Vertical osteogenic alveolar distraction (VOAD) allows for the augmentation of the alveolar ridge for the placement of dental implants in atrophic alveolar ridges. The goal of this paper is to assess long-term peri-implant bone resorption in implants placed on bones subjected to VOAD, comparing it with a group of patients who had implants placed directly on the alveolar bone withou...
