Does HIV infection have an impact upon dental implant osseointegration? A systematic review
Background: A systematic review is made to determine whether human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has an impact upon dental implant osseointegration. Material and Methods: A PubMed (MEDLINE) literature search was made of articles published up until 14 April 2014. The systematic review was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA). The quality of the studies included in the review was assessed using the Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies (MINORS) and levels of evidence (based on the University of Oxford's Center for Evidence Based Medicine criteria). Results: The combinations of search terms resulted in a list of 13…
Cytological changes in the oral mucosa after use of a mouth rinse with alcohol: a prospective double blind control study
Aim: The aim of this preliminary study was to detect cytological changes in the oral mucosa after using a mouth wash with alcohol. Material and Methods: A prospective double-blind, controlled study was performed, for 6 months. Group 1 consisted of 30 subjects who used a mouth rinse with 26.9% of alcohol [Listerine ® ] and Group 2 consisted of 30 subjects who used a mouth rinse with the same ingredients but with no alcohol. We obtained three cytological samples from the oral mucosa. The presence of cytological atypia, binucleation and karyorrhesis, and type of cells were studied. We also used a fluorescent in situ hybridization technique (FISH) in 15 samples in each group, for the micronucle…
Estudio clínico, radiográfico y plasmático de la osteonecrosis de los maxilares por bisfosfonatos en un grupo de183 pacientes
Osteonecrosis of the jaw is a particular form of chronic osteomyelitis caused by bisphosphonates (BF) or by other pharmacological or anti-angiogenic drugs. The BF are potent drugs inhibitors of osteoclasts by exerting a strong interaction with these cells, producing a sharp decrease of bone resorption. Objectives: To analyse clinical and radiologic characteristics as well as differences in the plasma levels of the Activation Nuclear Kappa receptor ligand (RANKL) and of osteoprotegerin (OPG) in a group of patients with osteonecrosis and compared to healthy controls. In addition, within the Group of patients with osteonecrosis maxillary study if there is relationship between plasma levels of …
Single-blind randomized clinical trial to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes after one year of immediate versus delayed implant placement support
Purpose: To evaluate and compare peri-implant health, marginal bone loss and success of immediate and delayed implant placement for rehabilitation with full-arch fixed prostheses. Material and Methods: The present study was a prospective, randomized, single-blind, clinical preliminary trial. Patients were randomized into two treatment groups. In Group A implants were placed immediately post-extrac - tion and in Group B six months after extraction. The following control time-points were established: one week, six months and twelve months after loading. Measurements were taken of peri-implant crevicular fluid volume, plaque index, gingival retraction, keratinized mucosa, probing depth, modifi…
