Biodegradation Study of Biomaterials Composed of Acrylated Epoxidized Soybean Oil: An In Vitro Study.

In the field of regenerative medicine, acrylated epoxidized vegetable oils are emerging as a promising avenue of exploration. The aim of this study is to evaluate the degradability of two formulations of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO): pure AESO and AESO diluted with soybean oil (SO) for potential bioprintability applications. The comprehensive investigation of these two polymeric formulations included optimization of polymerization conditions, confirmation of cytocompatibility, and, most importantly, the study of their degradability.

Clinical outcomes of conometric retention for implant-supported fixed prostheses: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Statement Of Problem: Conometric retention was developed as an effective and predictable rehabilitative option. However, the clinical performance of conometric retention is still uncertain.

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the clinical outcomes of patients rehabilitated with conometrically retained, implant-supported fixed prostheses.

Connective tissue versus free gingival grafts for deep mandibular anterior recessions. A 2- to 5-year cross-sectional study.

Aim: Mandibular anterior deep gingival recessions are complex to manage in individuals who lack sufficient keratinized tissue. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical and esthetic outcomes and tissue stability of mucogingival procedures performed by means of a free gingival graft (FGG) or subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) 2- to 5-years post-operatively and to identify the esthetic outcome perception of the patients at follow-up.

Materials And Methods: Individuals presenting RT1 and RT2 gingival recessions treated with an FGG or SCTG in the mandibular anterior sextant were recalled to evaluate clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction postoperatively.

A new technique of alveolar bone augmentation: "Pack into Bone". A retrospective case-series study.

Purpose: To provide an overview of an innovative surgical approach to guided bone regeneration, the Pack Into Bone (PIB) technique.

Methods: Twenty subjects, eight men and 12 women, aged 34 to 68 (mean 51.5) were selected.

Bone into Bone technique: An alternative to horizontal bone regeneration techniques. Retrospective case-control study.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of lateral ridge augmentation (LRA) of porcine cortical barriers when placed in a surgical bone gap, buccal to the defect, using the Bone into Bone (BiB) technique compared to a guided bone regeneration (GBR) technique.

Methods: The study was a retrospective case-control evaluation. A group of 23 subjects (test) underwent horizontal augmentation procedures using the BiB technique.
