Evaluation of Bone Repair Using a New Biphasic Synthetic Bioceramic (Plenum Oss) in Critical Calvaria Defect in Rats.

(1) Background: Biphasic bioceramics are synthetic bone substitutes that provide greater safety and better predictability in guided bone regeneration. This study aimed to evaluate the bone repair process using a new biphasic bioceramic of synthetic origin (Plenum Oss-70HA: 30β-TCP) in critical calvarial defects. (2) Methods: seventy-four defects were created in rat calvaria and divided into two groups-Plenum Oss (PO), right side, and Straumann BoneCeramic™ (BC), left side.

Polydioxanone Membrane Compared with Collagen Membrane for Bone Regeneration.

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is an approach that induces osteopromotion through the regenerative membranes. These barriers exhibit bioactive behavior and mechanical function. Polydioxanone is a synthetic option, already used in medicine and dentistry, with good results in bone regeneration.

Titanium Mesh Exposure After Bone Grafting: Treatment Approaches-A Systematic Review.

Study Design: A systematic review according to PRISMA statement has been designed to answer the preliminary question: "" and fill the PICO assessment out.

Objective: To review studies published in the past 20 years (1999-2019) in which mesh exposure has occurred, detecting the suitable approaches to treat exposure allowing the graft maintenance.

Methods: Initial search on PUBMED, SCOPUS, and COCHRANE databases resulted in 777 articles, and hand-searching identified 6 articles.

Le Fort I Down-Fracture for Management of Midface Tumors.

Objective: To perform an integrative review associating current literature with a clinical series regarding the use of Le Fort I osteotomy for the removal of tumors located in the midface and central region of the skull base.

Methods: A systematic review was performed through the PubMed, SCOPUS, and Cochrane databases. In addition, 4 different patients operated using the above-cited technique are described in this study.

Autogenous Dental Transplantation in a Patient Undergoing Class III Dento-Facial Deformity.

Dental transplantation is an alternative for rehabilitation with a high success rate. This article presents a clinical case of autogenous dental transplantation in a 17-year-old male patient undergoing treatment for Class III dento-facial deformity. After 32 months followup, low-cost rehabilitation was possible, and without prejudice to ortho-surgical treatment.
