Oral Surgery and Dental Implants in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Scoping Review for Oral Health Status.

The number of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients requiring renal replacement therapy is increasing, often exhibiting oral manifestations including periodontal disease, gingival hyperplasia, altered saliva composition, and uremic stomatitis. Uremic stomatitis, xerostomia, and candidiasis are very frequent, particularly among patients undergoing dialysis or kidney transplant recipients. CKD patients also experience profound alterations in bone metabolism inherent in the homeostasis of calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and fibroblast growth factor (FGF).

Tissue reconstruction of abdominal wall with butyric acid-based nets: preliminary in vitro test using tissue engineering strategies.

Objective: A hernia of the abdominal wall is an opening of the muscles in the abdominal wall, which is frequently treated via the application of a surgical mesh. The purpose of this research is to study how human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) interact with Phasix™ Mesh, a commercially available mesh for hernia repair. Studying how cells derived from the abdominal region behave with Phasix™ Mesh is crucial to improve the state of the art of current surgery and achieve effective tissue restoration.

Analysis and comparison of quality of life and patients' satisfaction between dental-skeletal dysmorphisms and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) patients following orthognathic surgery.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of orthognathic surgery on the patients' satisfaction and quality of life (QoL) in patients with dental skeletal dysmorphisms and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

Subjects And Methods: Patients were grouped into two cohorts, patients with OSA (G1) and patients with dento-skeletal dysmorphisms (G2). SF-36 questionnaire was obtained from all subjects before interventions.

A Full Computerized Workflow for Planning Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion and Orthognathic Surgery in a Skeletal Class III Patient.

In the present case report, we present and discuss the digital workflow involved in the orthodontic/orthognathic combined treatment of a skeletal malocclusion correction in a 17-year-old male patient affected by a skeletal class III, facial asymmetry, sagittal and transversal deficiency of the medium third of the skull, dental crowding, and bilateral cross-bite. The first stage of the treatment involved surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion and occlusal decompensation, using fixed self-ligating appliance. An orthodontic software package (i.

Accuracy of Edentulous Computer-Aided Implant Surgery as Compared to Virtual Planning: A Retrospective Multicenter Study.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of computer-aided dental implant positions obtained with mucosal-supported templates as compared to Three-Dimensional (3D) planning.

Materials And Methods: One-hundred implants were inserted into 14 edentulous patients using the All-on-4/6 protocol after surgical virtual planning with RealGUIDE, 3DIEMME, and Geomagic software. After 6 months, three-dimensional neck (V) and apex (S) spatial coordinates of implants and angle inclination displacements as compared to virtual plans were evaluated.
