Vertical ridge augmentation using deproteinized bovine bone material without covering with a membrane: a tunnel pouch technique- 4-year follow-up- A pilot clinical study.

Purpose Of The Study-: The present pilot clinical trial was planned to evaluate the effect of particulate deproteinized bovine bone graft mixed with blood could be used as a vertical ridge augmentation material without covering with any form of collagen membrane in a tunnel pouch technique, resulting in sufficient bone formation to allow placement of dental implants, with maintenance of the newly formed bone after final restoration.

Material And Methods—: Eight patients (three males and five females) were selected for this procedure and treated between February 2016 and December 2017. All these patients had a deficient vertical height of the posterior mandibular alveolar bone above the inferior alveolar canal.

Comparative Evaluation of Implant-Protected Occlusion in Partially Edentulous Fixed Restoration Using Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment - A Prospective Clinical Trial.

Objectives: To compare and evaluate the occlusal variability/discrepancy recorded using qualitative (articulating paper) and quantitative (T-scan) techniques in partially edentulous implant-supported restorations.

Materials And Methods: A total of 20 patients in the age group of 25-61 yrs participated in this study. All the patients had more than one tooth replaced with implant-supported prosthesis.

A Study of Human Mandibles of Indian Origin for Available Bone After Bone Reduction for Trefoil Concept: A In-Vitro Human Cadaver Mandible Study.

Introduction: Edentulism is closely associated with socioeconomic factors and is more prevalent in poor populations and in women. Gender plays an important role in Residual bone resorption, where a greater bone resorption was reported in women than men. Novum is re-introduced as Trefoil which has been rectifying the technical deficiencies of novum using engineering and clinical technology.

Comparative Evaluation of Occlusal Bite Force in Relation to the Muscle Activity in the Mixed Dentition Children of Age Group 9-12 Years: A T-scan Analysis.

Aim And Objective: Compare and evaluate the muscle activity and the occlusal force between the mixed dentition boys and girls of 9-12 years.

Materials And Methods: The study included 15 boys and 15 girls. The occlusal force and activity of the masseter and temporalis muscle were measured with a T-scan device using a sensor, a module to transmit the signals to a computer and the complete data of the bite force and muscle activity with the EMG recordings and data were collected and evaluated.

Computer-guided implant placement associated with computer-aided bone regeneration in the treatment of atrophied partially edentulous alveolar ridges: A proof-of-concept study.

Background/purpose: The existing literature lacks information regarding the use of digital workflows during pre-surgical planning of implant rehabilitations in resorbed edentulous ridges. Thus, the aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of computer-guided implant placement and simultaneous computer-aided guided bone regeneration (GBR) in the treatment of atrophic posterior alveolar ridges.

Materials And Methods: Partially edentulous patients requiring GBR simultaneously to implant insertion were enrolled.

"Simpli5y" a noval concept for fixed rehabilitation of completely edentulous maxillary and mandibular edentulous arches: A 3-year randomized clinical trial, supported by a numerical analysis.

Background And Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcome of "simpli5y" concept where in 3 and 2 implant placed cross arch in maxilla and in mandible respectively, restored with screw retained prosthesis.

Materials And Methods: Total of 30 patients were randomized, with 15 in group1 with an average of 45 Ncm insertion torque with delayed loading and 15 in group 2 with above 65 Ncm inertion torque with immediate loading with equal number of male and female in each group following parallel design with 3 implants in maxillary and 2 implants in mandibular arch placed which was supported by a 3Dimensional finite analysis comparing the stress dissipation around implants of this concept-"Simplif5y" with All-on-4 concept.

Results: Von Mises strain recorded in the bone in the maxillary and mandibular arch models were higher in All-on-four than that in the "simpli5y", which was vice-versa in the framework.

Heat generated by dental implant drills during osteotomy-a review: heat generated by dental implant drills.

Statement Of Problem: Osseointegration is the more stable situation and results in a high success rate of dental implants. Heat generation during rotary cutting is one of the important factors influencing the development of osseointegration.

Purpose: To assess the various factors related to implant drills responsible for heat generation during osteotomy.

Maxillary posterior bone height in relation to maxillary sinus floor in Indian dentulous population.

To establish a ratio of variable bone height (Infrazygomatic alveolar crest height) to constant bone height (Infraorbital zygomatic height) and, to estimate the relative sinus floor position from alveolar crest of maxillary first molar region of dentulous Indian males and females, using Digital panoramic radiographs. Panoramic radiographs of 74 patients were included in the study (37 male, 37 female) to measure maxillary posterior vertical bone height and their ratio in dentulous patients. Measurements were made from reference lines drawn from anatomic landmarks on soft digital versions of standardized panoramic radiographs using Kodak dental imaging software.
