Exploring the Potential of Phytogenic Materials for Bone Regeneration: A Narrative Review of Current Advances and Future Directions.

In dentistry, bone regeneration in areas following tooth loss, the removal of a tumor or cyst, and craniofacial surgery can be accomplished by using bone grafts. Many biocompatible materials have been employed for bone regeneration in dentistry; however, all these bone graft materials come with various drawbacks. Therefore, there is a growing demand for natural, cost-effective, and biocompatible plant-based bone grafts.

The Impact of Maxillary Sinus Pneumatization on the Quality of the Alveolar Bone in Dentated and Edentulous Patients: A Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Radiographic Analysis.

Background This study aimed to describe the morphometric differences of maxillary alveolar bone's height, width, and densitometric differences in the posterior region where maxillary sinus pneumatization occurred. Methodology A cross-sectional, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) study used 123 CBCT images as a non-randomized convenient sample of sinus pneumatized cases. Bone height, bone width (in mm), and average density of the remaining ridge of all patients were used as study variables.
