Clinical and radiographic findings without the use of bone substitute materials in extraction sockets and delayed implant placement- A case series.

Aim: To observe clinically and radiographically (CBCT), the extent of bone resorption in extraction socket without the use of bone graft substitutes and delayed implant placement.

Material And Methods: 50 compliant patients were selected for study. All the patients who were advised extraction were followed up for entire duration of the treatment, at 5th week CBCT showed horizontal and vertical bone loss.

Platelet-rich fibrin: the benefits.

Current published data presents confusing results about the effects of platelet-rich fibrin on bone, and there is a need for studies that throw light on its effect. Our main objective therefore was to evaluate (by fractal analysis) osseous regeneration in extraction sockets with and without platelet-rich fibrin in a study with a substantial sample and a reliable technique to calibrate its effects on bone cells. We also assessed the soft tissue response.

Amalgamation of allogenic bone graft, platelet-rich fibrin gel, and PRF membrane in auto-transplantation of an impacted central incisor.

"Social six" teeth refers to the maxillary incisors and canines that play a vital role in the appearance of an individual and absence of any one of them has a significant psycho-social impact. Hence, early treatment and rehabilitation of the same are extremely important. A multitude of treatment options ranging from orthodontic extrusion, extraction followed by implant placement, fixed partial denture, and auto-transplantation have been advocated.

Spiral intermaxillary fixation.

Intermaxillary fixation (IMF) remains an important component in the management of many facial fractures. During IMF, dental occlusion plays an important role as a guide and therapeutic tool. Since time immemorial there is a constant quest of oral and maxillofacial surgeons to find a quick way for IMF.
