Clinical and histomorphometric outcome in future site development performed with a nano-hydroxyapatite through hydraulic sinus lift technique.

Purpose: The crestal sinus lifting by means of hydraulic technique associated with a nano-cristalline hydroxyapatite in an aqueous medium is investigated.

Materials And Methods: A specific purpose-made instrument is used, consisting of a syringe with a micrometrically controlled piston connected to a dispenser used to inject, in a calibrated and precise manner, noted volumes of graft material into the sub-schneiderian space. Adopting such a technique the Authors performed 7 future site developments, on 7 patients (2 males; 5 females; mean age 49.

The treatment of peri-implant diseases: a new approach using hybenx as a decontaminant for implant surface and oral tissues.

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to demonstrate the efficacy of HyBeNX® to decontaminate the implant surface, both in the case mucositis and severe peri-implantitis and to allow future bone regeneration.

Materials And Methods: We describe three case reports of peri-implantitis successfully treated with HyBeNX®. In our study, we have used microbiological tests to demonstrate the efficacy of HyBeNX® in decreasing bacterial load.

The use of resorbable cortical lamina and micronized collagenated bone in the regeneration of atrophic crestal ridges: a surgical technique. Case series.

Some graft materials, such as micronized and collagenated bone, have an excellent capacity to be reabsorbed, allowing for the reformation of good-quality bone, but do not have the mechanical characteristics that would allow for stability in terms of shape and size. In this study, a technique is proposed which makes use of resorbable cortical lamina in order to create recipient sites that can be filled with micronized collagenated bone paste. The adequate vascularization of the graft combined with the integration of the lamina, which does not need to be removed, makes it possible to propose this technique as a potential alternative to those used to date.

Prevention of bacterial leakage at implant-abutment connection level: an in vitro study of the efficacy of three different implant systems.

Peri-implantitis is the main cause of implant failures. Peri-implantitis is provoked by the presence of bacterial infiltration around Implant-Abutment Connection (IAC). Reduction of bacterial leakage may be achieved by improving the accuracy and precision of the two pieces of IAC.

Clinical outcome of 215 transmucosal implants with a conical connection: a retrospective study after 5-year follow-up.

The purpose of this retrospective clinical study was to evaluate the survival rate (i.e. SVR – fixtures still in place at the end of the observation period) and success rate (i.
