Background: Different barrier membranes and augmentation techniques are used in oral surgery to recover lost bone structures with varied success. Recently, a combination between bone graft materials and Platelet-Rich-Fibrin (PRF) is implemented in the periodontology and implantology.

Aim: The aim of this case report was to assess the possibility for augmentation of the alveolar ridge in the frontal region of the upper jaw, utilizing a combination of bone graft material, injectable platelet-rich-fibrin (i-PRF) and advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF).

Materials And Methods: An 18 year-old male with expulsion of tooth 11 and partial fracture of the alveolar ridge was treated with augmentation of the alveolar ridge using bone graft material, injectable platelet-rich-fibrin(i-PRF) and advanced platelet-rich-fibrin (A-PRF). Clinical results were reviewed 4 months after the augmentation and a dental implant was placed.

Results: The postoperative period was uneventful. The control CBCT scan showed good organization of new bone allowing placement of a dental implant.

Conclusion: The successful clinical and radiographic results of the case suggest that using A-PRF and i-PRF can be beneficial for bone augmentation of the alveolar ridge before implant placement.

Objective: Evaluation of the effectiveness of vestibuloplasty according to microhemodynamics and oxygenation in the mucous membrane of the alveolar ridge.

Materials And Methods: To achieve this goal, a clinical and functional study was carried out in the mucous membrane of the alveolar ridge after vestibuloplasty in 80 patients (35 men and 45 women) aged from 18 to 65 years, average age 41.5±1.

The ability of different forms of autogenous tooth graft to promote bone regeneration: a network meta-analysis.

Oral Maxillofac Surg

January 2025

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University, 34 Henri Dunant Road, 18 Wangmai, Patumwan, Bangkok, 10330, Thailand.

Purpose: Several forms of autogenous tooth graft have been presented. However, it is still unclear which form provides better bone formation and is the best to use clinically. This network meta-analysis aimed to thoroughly evaluate the available literature on the ability of different forms of the autogenous tooth graft to promote bone regeneration, in order to explore if any specific type or method of processing would result in better overall outcomes.

The influence of prosthetic treatments and implant-supported prostheses on posterior mandibular ridge atrophy: a retrospective cohort study.

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Division of Restorative Dentistry, Periodontology and Prosthodontics, Department of Dental Medicine and Oral Health, Medical University of Graz, Billrothgasse 4, Graz, 8010, Austria.

Aims: Bone preservation is a requirement for long-term stability of dental prostheses, which is all the more important in the posterior mandible, given the particular challenges these areas pose to prosthetic treatment. The objective was to investigate the implications of different prostheses on the atrophy of posterior alveolar bone after tooth loss.

Materials And Methods: A total of 457 treatment cases were retrieved from the medical documentation and information network.

A novel dual fixation method for improving the reliable assessment of pulmonary vascular morphology in pulmonary hypertension rats.

Respir Res

January 2025

Department of Pathophysiology, School of Basic Medicine, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), 13 Hangkong Road, Wuhan, 430030, China.

This study introduced a novel dual fixation method for the pulmonary vasculature and lung tissue in pulmonary hypertension (PH) rats, addressing the limitations of traditional fixation methods that failed to accurately preserve the in vivo status of pulmonary vascular morphology. The modified method involved a dual fixation process, combining individualized ventilation support and vascular perfusion to simulate the respiratory motion, pulmonary artery pressure and right ventricular output of the rat under in vivo conditions. Utilizing a monocrotaline-induced PH rat model, this study compared the dual fixation with the traditional immersion fixation, focusing on the quantitative assessment of alveolar expansion degree, capillary patency, endothelial cell quantity and wall thickness of pulmonary vein and artery.

Background: Anatomically formed healing abutments were suggested in literature to address many of the issues associated with immediate posterior implant insertion such as large extraction sockets that are extremely hard to seal without reflecting the mucoperiosteal flap, extraction sockets anatomy that are not suitable for regular healing abutment placement, and potentially high occlusal stresses when planning a temporary implant supported prothesis to improve the conditioning of supra implant tissue architecture and the emergence profile of the implant supported restorations.

Purpose: To clinically evaluate the peri-implant soft tissue profile of single posterior implant retained restorations and to assess patient related outcomes of the implant restorations that were conditioned immediately by CAD-CAM socket sealing abutments (SSA) versus those conditioned by Titanium (Ti) standard healing abutments (SHA).

Methods: Twenty participants received twenty-two single maxillary immediate implants after flapless minimally invasive tooth extraction and 3D guided implant placement in the posterior area (premolar and molar) and allocated randomly into two groups (n = 11), the intervention group: patients received PEEK SSA and the control group: the patients received Ti SHA.
