Published: December 2007

Objective: Because of increasing life expectancy and popularity of dental implants, surgeons face a larger number of osteoporotic patients who require bone augmentation. Relationship between low bone density/osteoporosis and bone graft success is still not clear. The purpose of this article is to review and summarize the literature regarding the success of alveolar bone augmentation in osteoporosis.

Study Design: The study design includes a literature review of relevant preclinical and clinical articles that address the association between osteoporosis and alveolar bone augmentation.

Results: Increased rate of complications such as resorption of bone graft, non-integration of bone graft, delayed healing time, and implant failure in augmented bone especially in the maxilla may be associated with compromised bone health.

Conclusions: Despite the decreased success rate, osteoporosis is not an absolute contraindication for bone augmentation and dental implant placement. The modifiable risk factors for osteoporosis should be eliminated before surgery.

Background: Rotator cuff repairs may fail because of compromised blood supply, suture anchor pullout, or poor fixation to bone. To augment the repairs and promote healing of the tears, orthobiologics, such a platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and biologic scaffolds have been applied with mixed results. Adipose allograft matrix (AAM), which recruits native cells to damaged tissues, may also be a potential treatment for rotator cuff tears.

This study aims to evaluate and compare the usability and performance of mixed reality (MR) technology versus conventional methods for preoperative planning of patient-specific reconstruction plates for orbital fractures. A crossover study design was used to compare MR technology with conventional three-dimensional (3D) printing approaches in the planning of maxillofacial traumatology treatments. The primary focus was on user-friendliness and the accuracy of patient-specific reconstruction planning.

Oxidative Stress Early After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant.

Transplant Cell Ther

January 2025

Division of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Immune Deficiency, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH; Department of Pediatrics, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH.

Background: HSCT conditioning regimens cause massive lysis of hematopoietic cells with release of toxic intracellular molecules into the circulation.

Objectives: To describe the response to oxidative stress early after hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and assess the association of early oxidative stress with later transplant outcomes.

Study Design: Key components of in the body's physiological response to oxidative stress were studied in a cohort of 122 consecutive pediatric allogeneic HSCT recipients.

Background: No studies have evaluated the impact of the cement distribution as classified on the basis of the fracture bone marrow edema area (FBMEA) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the efficacy of percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) for acute osteoporotic vertebral fractures.

Methods: The clinical data of patients with acute, painful, single-level thoracolumbar osteoporotic fractures were retrospectively analyzed. The bone cement distribution on the postoperative radiograph was divided into 4 types according to the distribution of the FBMEA on the preoperative MRI.

Biologically-oriented alveolar ridge preservation to correct bone dehiscence at immediate implant placement.

Clin Adv Periodontics

January 2025

Operative Unit of Dentistry, Azienda Unità Sanitaria Locale, Ferrara, Italy.

Background: The purpose of the present case study is to describe the application of a modification of the Biologically-oriented Alveolar Ridge Preservation (BARP) principles in cases of peri-implant bone dehiscence (PIBD) due to a compromised alveolus at immediate implant placement (IIP).

Methods: The technique is based on the stratification of three layers: a deep layer with a collagen sponge (CS) in the apical part of the alveolus (where the buccal bone plate was still present) to support the blood clot; a graft layer to correct the PIBD; and a superficial collagen layer to cover the graft thus providing space and enhancing clot/graft stability. Healing was obtained by primary closure.
