background radiographs play an integral role in the assessment of periodontal disease. in recent years, advent of digital imaging has revolutionized radiology in dentistry. patients and methods in this diagnostic accuracy study, 48 inter proximal surfaces were evaluated in eight patients. these patients had alveolar bone loss in anterior regions because of periodontitis. intraoral (parallel per...

discussion this segmental ridge-split procedure with gradual bone expansion provides a quicker method wherein an atrophic ridge can be predictably expanded and eliminating the need for a second surgical site. this technique also shows that immediate implantation in split ridge of mandible can be performed. introduction narrow alveolar ridges especially in posterior mandibular remains a serious ...

the purpose of this study was to determine the influence of platform switching on stress distribution of two different implant systems using three-dimensional (3d) finite element models.six 3d finite element models were created to replicate two different implant systems with peri-implant bone tissue, in which six different implant-abutment configurations were represented: model xive-a: 3.8-mm-d...

introduction radiographs provide unique information about the status of periodontium and permanent records of condition of bone throughout the course of the disease. interproximal images record the distance between the cementoenamel junction and the crest of the interradicular alveolar bone, more accurately. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different vertical angles of x-r...

objective: vertical bone loss evaluations in the nobel biocare replace® select tapered tm implant system in the human after one-year loading time. materials and methods: this retrospective cross-sectional study was performed on 31 patients (14 men, 17 women; mean age, 60.39 years) receiving 170 implants (mean, 5.48 for each patient) of groovy and non-groovy designs in the nobel biocare replace®...

objective: low quality of the bone and insufficient bone due to the size of the sinus and resorption of the alveolar ridge decrease the long-term survival of implants in the posterior maxilla compared to other regions of the jaws. surgical procedures to increase bone volume make it possible to place implants longer than 8 mm. in this situation sinus elevation makes it possible to place implants...

the biological interaction between the jaw bones and dental implant is fundamental for the long-term success of dental implant placement. nevertheless, the insufficient bone volume remains a major clinical problem, especially in case of immediate dental implant. using a canine model, the present study proves the regenerative potential of adipose- derived stem cells (adscs) to repair peri-implan...
