Prognosis of Deantigenated Equine Bone Used for Bone Augmentation: A Multicenter Retrospective Study on Early and Late Postsurgical Complications in 81 Consecutive Patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcome of deantigenated equine bone (DEB) grafts in a series of patients treated with DEB at six months postaugmentation.

Materials And Methods: One hundred DEB grafts were inserted in 81 patients between January 2004 and December 2006. Thirty-two DEBs were blocks and 68 were granules (52 sinus lift and 16 guided bone regeneration [GBR] procedures performed).

Resonance frequency analysis assessment of implants placed with a simultaneous or a delayed approach in grafted and nongrafted sinus sites: a 12-month clinical study.

Background: Implant stability is one of the key factors for a successful osseointegration. At present, several techniques are available to regenerate bone tissue, but it is not clear whether implants placed in grafted bone are as stable as implants in native bone over time.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare, by means of resonance frequency analysis (RFA), the stability of implants placed in sinus-grafted and -nongrafted sites during 12-month follow-up.
