Purpose: To evaluate and assess the indicators of bone metabolism markers osteocalcin and -Cross-Laps in blood serum as a tool for monitoring bone regeneration and determining the time of implantation in patients after mandibulectomy and reconstruction of a free fibular flap with subsequent endosteal implants.
Materials And Methods: Forty-eight patients in a 6-year period participated in this study, due to resection for tumors. All patients underwent reconstruction with fibula free flap after tumor resection, 4-6 months after osteoectomy, dental implants were installed with further orthopedic rehabilitation.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical results of immediate loading UV-photofunctionalized dental implants placed using guided surgery in patients with completely edentulous mandible.
Material And Methods: In this study, 58 fully edentulous patients were treated with immediate loading implant-supported mandibular prostheses. All patients underwent a thorough clinical examination according to the generally accepted scheme; qualitative and quantitative parameters of the jaw bones patients were diagnosed with cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT).
Objectives: The objective of this study is to minimize gingival display by surgical repositioning of the upper lip and to suggest this technique as an alternative treatment modality to orthognatic surgery for treatment of excessive gingival display.
Materials And Methods: Forty-eight patients were selected with gingival display of more than 2 mm during maximal smiling. All patients underwent surgical repositioning of the upper lip, aimed at limiting elevator muscle activity to treat excessive gum exposure.
