Peri-Implant Mucosal Fenestration and Histologic Observation of Bone Xenograft Material 7-Years After Implant Installation: A Case Report.

Bone augmentation is often required before the installation of dental implants. Here, we report a case for a patient who previously received bone augmentation at the upper right jaw using a xenogenic graft, followed by successful implant installation. Seven years later, the patient presented with mucosal fenestration with bone exposure at the area and gave a history of a recent diagnosis of cutaneous lichen planus.

The Osteogenetic Potential of Chitosan Coated Implant: An Study.

: Chitosan is a promising polymer that has been used for coating dental implants. However, research concerning coatings with implant surfaces other than commercially pure titanium is limited. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the chitosan material's effect with two degrees of deacetylation (DDA) as coatings for laser surface microtopographic implants.

Guided Bone Regeneration in Standardized Calvarial Defects in Rats Using Bio-Oss and β-Tricalcium Phosphate with Adjunct Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Therapy: A Real-Time In Vivo Microcomputed Tomographic, Biomechanical, and Histologic Analysis.

The objective of the present real-time in vivo experiment was to assess guided bone regeneration (GBR) in standardized calvarial defects using particulate graft material (Bio-Oss) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) with adjunct recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF) therapy. Eighteen female Sprague-Dawley rats with a mean age and weight of 8 ± 0.53 weeks and 250 ± 0.

Real-Time Assessment of Guided Bone Regeneration in Standardized Calvarial Defects in Rats Using Bio-Oss With and Without Collagen Membrane: An In Vivo Microcomputed Tomographic and Histologic Experiment.

In vivo microcomputed tomography (μCT) enables real-time assessment of bone regeneration. The aim of this μCT and histologic experiment was to assess guided bone regeneration (GBR) around standardized calvarial defects in rats using particulate graft material (Bio-Oss) with and without collagen membranes (CMs). Eighteen female Sprague-Dawley rats aged 6 weeks and weighing 300 g were used.

Efficacy of acellular dermal matrix and coronally advanced flaps for the treatment of induced gingival recession defects: a histomorphometric study in dogs.

Background: Gingival recession (GR) defects can be treated by various methods, including acellular dermal matrix (ADM) or coronally advanced flaps (CAFs). The aim of this histomorphometric experiment is to compare the efficacy of ADM and CAF for treating GR defects in dogs.

Methods: In eight beagle dogs, a critical-size labial GR defect was surgically induced on bilateral maxillary cuspids under general anesthesia.

Efficacy of using a dual layer of membrane (dPTFE placed over collagen) for ridge preservation in fresh extraction sites: a micro-computed tomographic study in dogs.

Objective: To assess if overbuilding the buccal plate or using a dual-layer socket grafting technique prevents alveolar bone resorption and enhances final ridge width, height, and volume after tooth loss in an animal model.

Material And Methods: In eight beagle dogs bilateral second (P2)-, third (P3)-, and fourth (P4) premolars were endodontically treated. All bilateral mandibular first premolars and distal roots of P2, P3, and P4 were hemisectioned and atraumatically extracted.

Microcomputed tomographic analysis of the alveolar ridge alteration around extraction sites with and without immediate implants placement: in vivo study.

Background: The aim was to assess the alveolar ridge alteration around extraction sites with and without immediate implants according to extraction socket classification (ESC) using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT).

Material And Methods: Ten beagle dogs (mean age and weight: 24 ± 0.83 months and 13.

Efficacy of using PDGF and xenograft with or without collagen membrane for bone regeneration around immediate implants with induced dehiscence-type defects: a microcomputed tomographic study in dogs.

Background: Use of collagen membrane (CM) with xenograft and recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF) in guided bone regeneration (GBR) is debatable. The aim of this microcomputed tomographic experiment was to assess the efficacy of using PDGF and xenograft (with or without CM) for GBR around immediate implants with dehiscence defects.

Methods: Ten beagle dogs underwent atraumatic bilateral second and fourth premolar extractions from both arches.

Surgical and implant-supported fixed prosthetic treatment of a patient with ectodermal dysplasia: a case report.

Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a hereditary disorder that affects ectodermal structures. The main clinical oral manifestations of ED include oligodontia and deficient alveolar ridges. This case report presents the oral rehabilitation of a 15-year-old female patient who never received an accurate diagnosis or appropriate dental care.

Esthetic soft tissue ridge augmentation around dental implant: Case report.

The aim of this case report is to present a method to correct soft tissue ridge deformity around dental implant using acellular dermal matrix (ADM). A 25-year-old female patient presented with a missing maxillary first left premolar, which had class I soft tissue defect. The missing tooth was replaced with single implant supported prosthesis and the soft tissue defect was corrected using ADM utilizing the envelop technique.
