Alveolar sandwich osteotomy in resorbed alveolar ridge for dental implants: a 4-year prospective study.
J Oral Maxillofac Surg
February 2014
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of the sandwich osteotomy technique using xenograft material to treat severe vertical alveolar defects in patients.
- In a sample of 9 patients, results showed an average vertical bone gain of 6 mm, remaining stable over a 4 to 6 month period, with most sites successfully rehabilitated for dental implants.
- The findings suggest that this method is a reliable alternative to more traditional grafting techniques, achieving significant bone improvement even in difficult cases.
Evaluation of a navigation system for dental implantation as a tool to train novice dental practitioners.
J Oral Maxillofac Surg
October 2011
Purpose: This study evaluated the benefits of a virtual reality navigation system for teaching the surgical stage of dental implantation to final-year dental students. The study aimed to assess the students' performance in dental implantation assignments by comparing freehand protocols with virtual reality navigation.
Materials And Methods: Forty final-year dentistry students without previous experience in dental implantation surgery were given an implantation assignment comprising 3 tasks.
Immediate placement of dental implants into debrided infected dentoalveolar sockets.

Purpose: To describe a protocol for the immediate placement of endosseous implants into debrided infected dentoalveolar sockets.
Patients And Methods: A total of 30 implants were immediately placed into debrided infected sites in 20 patients. The pathology at the receptacle dentoalveolar sockets varied, and included subacute periodontal infection, perio-endo infection, chronic periodontal infection, chronic periapical lesion, and a periodontal cyst.
Purpose: The study's purpose was to describe the application of a surgical navigation system for the treatment-planning and subsequent precise placement of dental implants in a patient, 2 years postexcision of a mandibular odontogenic myxoma.
Patients And Methods: A 25-year-old male patient presented for rehabilitation of a deficient edentulous ridge at the right mandible following excision of an odontogenic myxoma. The patient was imaged by dental computed tomography while wearing an individually fitted interfacing acrylic splint.
Intraoperative computerized navigation for flapless implant surgery and immediate loading in the edentulous mandible.
Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants
March 2005
Computerized navigation surgery has evolved to facilitate minimally invasive procedures, the gold standard of surgery today. While flapless implant surgery may be clinically beneficial, it has generally been perceived as a blind procedure limited to straightforward cases that do not pose a risk of cortical plate perforation. The objective of this report is to describe a protocol for flapless implant placement in a completely edentulous mandible using computerized navigation surgery.
