The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of surgeons' experience and the benefit of using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, compared to the use of panoramic radiography (PAN) images, on their decisions with regard to mandibular third molar treatment modality. Panoramic radiographs and CBCTs from a total of 143 patients who had undergone impacted third molar surgery were randomly evaluated for treatment decision by 10 participants with differing clinical experience (5 novices and 5 experienced surgeons). The degree of agreement between the same type of participants was 'Substantial Agreement' (0.

Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on patients with horizontal bone deficiency in the posterior regions of the mandible. After implant placement, GBR procedures were randomly performed using liquid-PRF-enriched bovine-derived xenograft (for the test group) and with bovine-derived xenograft alone (for the control group).

Purpose: Genioplasty is a surgical procedure that is used to enhance the shape and appearance of the chin. It can be performed alone or in combination with other jaw-related surgeries either for medical or cosmetic purposes. Recently many studies have been reported for mandibular reconstruction with distraction osteogenesis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: The purpose of this present study was to evaluate the efficiency of the growth factors delivered by concentrated growth factor (CGF) on the healing process of osteoporotic patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ).
Methods: This randomized controlled study was composed of osteoporotic female patients who were treated with oral bisphosphonates (BPs) and diagnosed with MRONJ. For the CGF group, each patient was treated with a local application of CGF at the surgical site after removing the necrotic bone, while the surgical area was primarily closed as traditional surgical therapy for the control group.
Purpose: Recent studies have shown that the use of platelet concentration products alone, or in combination with variable graft materials, accelerates the new bone formation associated with sinus augmentation. The aim of this study was to measure the adjunctive effects of concentrated growth factor (CGF) used with allograft on new bone formation and augmentation stability in sinus lifting.
Materials And Methods: This randomized controlled study included patients who presented for dental implant placement in atrophic posterior maxilla at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Ege University, and who needed maxillary sinus augmentation.
Background: The aim of this prospective study was to assess the effectiveness of concentrated growth factors (CGF) in preventing the development of alveolar osteitis (AO) after the extraction of partially-erupted mandibular third molars.
Methods: Seventy patients (26 men and 44 women) 18 years or older (mean age 25.86; range 18-35) underwent 140 third molar extractions.
Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was first reported on 31 December 2019 and has rapidly been spreading day by day. Dental patients and professionals have a high risk of the coronavirus infection and also have a huge responsibility to prevent its spread during emergency dental treatment over the period of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Aim: Informing patients and dental practitioners about the novel coronavirus in an accurate and effective way is very important.
