background and objective: the concept of immediate occlusal loading with dental implants offers several advantages. in this research, the effect of type of restoration on osseointegration rate of dental implants was histologically evaluated. materials and methods: three months prior to implantation, the lower premolar teeth of 15 dogs were extracted. then, 3 to 4 maestro™ implants were placed i...

This study investigates the impact of polystyrene sodium sulfonate (PolyNaSS) grafting onto the osseo-integration of a polyethylene terephthalate artificial ligament (Ligament Advanced Reinforcement System, LARS™) used for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). The performance of grafted and non-grafted ligaments was assessed in vitro by culturing human osteoblasts under osteogenic induction and thi...

Usage of implant-supported prostheses is a treatment alternative for patients requiring replacement of one or more teeth. Modifications have been undertaken with respect to surgical and prosthetic protocols, by reducing the load time of the implant, so as to satisfy demands for faster treatments, and to reduce patient’s discomfort during healing time.1 Functional immediate load is the most rece...

Achieving Osseo integration is of utmost importance for the success implant therapy. Poor bone density (D3 & D4 type from Misch classification) common in maxillary jaw, especially elderly patients which can create a hindrance to proper integration. A successful therapy would optimally re-create lost mucogingival contours while maintaining their relationship prosthesis by replacing tooth/ teeth....

Sommario Le vescicole extracellulari (EV) sono secrete da vari tipi cellulari e veicolano cargo specifici destinati alle cellule target, mediando così effetti paracrini in meccanismi fisiologici patologici. Negli ultimi anni lo studio delle EV si è affermato moltissimi ambiti, compreso il mondo del metabolismo osseo. In questa rassegna riportiamo i più recenti promettenti studi sul ruolo biolog...
