normal 0 false false false en-us x-none fa microsoftinternetexplorer4 introduction : alveolar bone level is changed due to the balance between bone formation and resorption. radiographic examination has an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases. this study was performed to compare the accuracy of vertical bitewing and periapical radiography in anterior mandibular ...

Purpose This study assessed marginal bone remodeling and soft tissue esthetics after the loading of single bone-level implants in the anterior maxilla. Methods An open, single-arm observational clinical trial with 3 years of follow-up was performed, including 22 implants. The patients presented with a single tooth gap in the anterior maxilla (tooth positions 14-24), with natural or restored a...

several appliances have been used for palatal expansion for treatment of posterior cross bite. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress induced in the apical and crestal alveolar bone and the pattern of tooth displacement following expansion via removable expansion plates or fixed-banded palatal expander using the finite element method (fem) analysis.two 3d fem models were designed ...

background and aims. complete and predictable regeneration of tissue lost as a result of infection or trauma is the ultimate goal of periodontal therapy. various graft materials have been successfully used in the treatment of intrabony defects. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a decalcified freeze-dried bone allograft (cerabone) with the autogenous bone graft as a gold stand...

_Since its introduction, sinus floor augmentation has generated great interest in the international scientific community and been subject to many changes in procedure. The first documented maxillary sinus augmentations using bone grafts date back to the work of Philip J. Boyne in the 1960s.1 An access osteotomy to elevate the sinus membrane can be performed by a vestibular or a crestal approach...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) is clinically used in dentistry to access the stiffness of dental implants in surrounding bone. However, the clear advantages and disadvantages of this method are still inconclusive. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare implant stability quotient (ISQ) values obtained from RFA with parameters obtained from a cone beam compute...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Zirconia implants have been used for oral rehabilitation; however, evidence of their ability to maintain crestal bone and periimplant soft tissue health is not clear. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate crestal bone loss (CBL) around zirconia dental implants and clinical periimplant inflammatory parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS The focus questi...

Background: One of the most significant factors in the success of dental implant procedures, can be mentioned by the quality and quantity of jaw bone. The occurrence of some problems such as trauma, infection, pathological lesions and the long-term absence of teeth in patients, it causes irregularities in the jaw bone and can get bone resorption. Sever defects after trauma or tumor resection ne...

This clinical report presents a simplified surgical procedure for accessing the maxillary sinus antrum via lateral and crestal approaches, which reduces the potential for sinus membrane perforation and subsequent complications when graft materials and dental implants are placed into the sinus. Due to visual limitations, perforations and associated complications can jeopardize the success rate o...
