Stromal Cells Associated with Soft Tissue Augmentation by a Volume-Stable Collagen Matrix (VCMX) Are Predominated by Anti-inflammatory/Reparative Macrophages.
Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- The article examines changes in immune cell types in peri-implant soft tissue after three months of treatment with a collagen matrix in 12 patients.
- Researchers used immunohistochemical stains to identify and analyze various inflammatory cells and fibroblasts before and after the augmentation process.
- The study found significant increases in certain endothelial cells and anti-inflammatory macrophages, indicating their importance in the healing process, suggesting potential for future therapeutic developments.
Contour Changes Following Implant Placement and Concomitant Soft Tissue Augmentation Applying a Volume-Stable Collagen Matrix.
Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent
July 2022
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate changes in buccal mucosal thickness at implant sites following a soft tissue augmentation using a volume-stable collagen matrix (VCMX) in 12 patients during implant placement.
- Measurements were taken before the surgery and at 1 month and 6 months post-surgery using hydrocolloid impressions and stone cast models, which were analyzed for changes in soft tissue thickness and contour.
- Results indicated that while there was an initial increase in ridge width and thickness immediately after augmentation, a slight decrease in the ridge contour was observed from 1 to 6 months post-surgery.
Autogenous Particulate Dentin in Socket Site Preservation Procedures: Histologic and Histomorphometric Observations.
Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants
April 2022
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of autogenous particulate dentin as a bone substitute to maintain dimensional volume in human socket preservation procedures.
Materials And Methods: Particulate dentin was used in socket site preservation procedures. The extracted natural tooth was ground to particles 250 to 1,200 μm in size to fill the socket site.
Aim: This study aims to examine the composition of lining and masticatory mucosa at the pre- and post-soft tissue augmentation procedures with a volume-stable cross-linking collagen matrix (VCMX) in humans.
Materials And Methods: In 12 patients, single implant sites were augmented with a VCMX. Biopsies were obtained including masticatory (MM) and lining (LM) mucosa before augmentation and at 12 weeks post-augmentation procedures.
