Impact of Two Flap Advancement Techniques and Periosteal Suturing on Graft Displacement During Guided Bone Regeneration.

Objectives: This preclinical ex vivo porcine study aimed to evaluate the effects of two flap advancement techniques and periosteal suturing (PS) on graft material displacement during primary wound closure in guided bone regeneration (GBR). Secondary objectives included assessing flap advancement and the impact of soft tissue characteristics on graft displacement.

Materials And Methods: Standardized two-walled horizontal bone defects were created in second premolar sites of pig hemimandibles.

The effect of antiresorptive therapy on the prevalence and severity of oral lichen planus: a retrospective study.

Background: Antiresorptive therapy (AR) disrupts osseous homeostasis and can induce direct irritation over the gastrointestinal mucosa; however, its possible erosive effects on the oral epithelium have not been totally described. Among the most frequent oral erosive lesions, oral lichen planus (OLP) frequently presents as painful mucosal ulcerations, arising from basal membrane inflammatory damage. Thus, the aim of this retrospective study was to describe the association between AR and the incidence of OLP.

Resistance to Torsion of Cement vs Screw-Retained Abutments Under a Tangential Load: A Pilot Study.

The aim is to compare the resistance to torsion between 2 implant systems with internal hexagon connection: one using screw-retained abutments (Titanium Fix) and the other using cementable abutments (ITEC) under a tangential load. An in vitro experimental study was carried out. Fourteen implants, 7 implants from each system, were included in this study.
