Bone Augmentation in Rabbit Tibia Using Microfixed Cobalt-Chromium Membranes with Whole Blood and Platelet-Rich Plasma.

Background: Bone augmentation is a subject of intensive investigation in regenerative bone medicine and constitutes a clinical situation in which autogenous bone grafts or synthetic materials are used to aid new bone formation.

Method: Based on a non-critical defect, Co-Cr barrier membranes were placed on six adult Fauve de Bourgogne rabbits, divided into two groups: whole blood and PRP. Three densitometric controls were performed during the experiment.

Influence of implant diameter in the displacement of dental implants in trabecular bovine bone under a static lateral load: experimental results and computational modeling.

Purpose: Primary stability and micromovement of dental implants depend on structural properties of the surrounding bone and on implant dimension and design. The purpose of this study was to provide objective data for the influence of implant diameter on the displacement of titanium screw implants.

Materials And Methods: Ninety Semados implants (length 15 mm, diameter 3.

Rigid occlusive titanium barriers for alveolar bone augmentation: two reports with 24-month follow-up.

Titanium barriers have been used for guided bone regeneration in preclinical and preliminary clinical reports as a possible alternative to bone grafting. In two cases with lateral bone defects, rigid titanium barriers were used to provide a secluded space in conjunction with bone substitutes. Sufficient lateral bone volume was generated for implant placement, and no complications were observed during 2 years of follow up.

Immediate loading of freestanding implants using cortical satellite implants: 3-year results of an ongoing prospective study.

Background: It has previously been demonstrated that immediate full occlusal loading of freestanding anterior implants can be performed using cortical satellite implants, obtaining a success rate similar to conventional protocols. The aim of this report was to present the outcomes after 36 months after initial placement.

Methods: Twenty patients received 2 single-standing titanium screw implants, which were stabilized during healing time with cortical satellite implants.

Displacement of dental implants in trabecular bone under a static lateral load in fresh bovine bone.

Aim: The study aims to provide objective data for the displacement of titanium screw implants in trabecular bone specimens. One hundred Semados implants (Bego, Bremen, Germany) were inserted in bovine type IV bone specimens. All implants had a diameter of 3.
