Material and Methods: This study included 27 patients of both sex (17 males & 10 females) aged 20 48 years. They were divided into 3 groups, each group contained 9 Patients. All patients in all groups were selected to have large cystic cavities in their dental arches of different etiological factors, ranged in diameter 1.5 – 3.5 cm, and not approaching any vital structures. They underwent surgi...

PURPOSE The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on new bone formation and remodeling after grafting of the maxillary sinus with an algae-derived hydroxyapatite AlgOss/C Graft/Algipore. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fourteen consecutive patients with severely atrophic maxillae underwent uni- or bilateral grafting of the maxillary sinus with a mixture of col...

Grafting of the maxillary sinus is an established treatment modality to provide sufficient bone for the fixation of dental implants. We stated the hypothesis that the porous fluorohydroxyapatitic (FHA) biomaterial FRIOS Algipore could be used as a suitable biomaterial for sinus grafting in severely atrophic maxillae. To investigate the accuracy of our hypothesis, 69 trephine specimens from 26 p...

ALGIPORE® STIMULATES OSTEBLAST DIFFERENTIATION IN ADIPOSE DERIVED STEM CELLS Brunelli G, Carinci F, Girardi A, Palmieri A, Caccianiga AGL, Gigante A, Sollazzo V. Advances in bone grafting are progressing with the evolution of biomaterials that permit the in corporation of osteoinductive and osteogenic proteins into osteoconductive composite scaffolds. Algipore®, a hydroxyapatite ceramic obtaine...

background and aim . vertical and horizontal bone resorption of the alveolar ridge are common in edentulous jaws. in the distal area of the maxilla, an adequate bone volume is often lacking because of the proximity of the sinus cavities to crestal bone. sinus floor augmentation is an established way of increasing the height and volume of bone in the posterior region of the maxilla, which increa...

INTRODUCTION To compare and evaluate clinically and radio-graphically the bone regeneration and the amount of bone fill in intrabony component of periodontal osseous defects through the osteoconductive and osteostimulative effect of bioactive synthetic NovaBone Putty - CMF and osteoconductive effect of calcified algae-derived porous hydroxyapatite Frios® Algi-pore® bone grafts. MATERIALS AND ...

PURPOSE Autogenous bone grafting continues to be considered the gold standard for sinus grafting. For the past 15 years the author has used an alternative graft material and followed-up the input/output statistic of implants to evaluate if this material results similar to the autogenous bone graft. Histomorphometric evaluations of graft materials show how much new bone is formed and if the graf...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the extent of bone fill over 3 years following the surgical treatment of peri-implantitis with bone grafting with or without a membrane. MATERIAL AND METHODS In a non-submerged wound-healing mode, 15 subjects with 27 implants were treated with a bone substitute (Algipore(®)) alone and 17 subjects with 29 implants were treated with the bone substitute and a resorbable me...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this prospective cohort study was to compare two regenerative surgical treatment modalities for peri-implantitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-six patients having a minimum of one osseointegrated implant, with a progressive loss of bone amounting to > or =3 threads (1.8 mm) following the first year of healing, combined with bleeding and/or pus on probing, were involved in...
