Influence of the patients sex, type of dental prosthesis and antagonist on residual bone resorption at the level of the premaxilla
Objectives: To analyze the height and width of the ridge at the level of the premaxilla in edentulous patients, evaluating whether the sex of the patient, type of prosthetic rehabilitation and antagonist have an influence. Material and Method: We randomly selected a total of 89 patients, having an average age of 66.21 years old. A total of 308 measurements were made, all of them at the level of the premaxilla, in the intercanine area. As dependent variables, we analyzed the patients’ sex, age and the antagonist: removable (dental) prostheses (RP), fixed (dental) prostheses (FD), natural dentition (ND). As independent variables, we measured the height and residual width in sagittal sections …
Quantification of growth factors by using a new system for obtaining platelet-rich plasma
Objective: To verify the performance of a new method for obtaining platelet-rich plasma, while avoiding contami- nation of the sample during its processing. Study Design: Twenty healthy patients were selected, from whom 21 ml of blood was etracted. �e then pro- Design: Twenty healthy patients were selected, from whom 21 ml of blood was etracted. �e then pro- esign: Twenty healthy patients were selected, from whom 21 ml of blood was etracted. �e then pro- ceeded to study the platelets and growth factors in basal blood after centrifuging the sample by using a new closed system for obtaining platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Results: After centrifuging the blood sample, double the amount of platelet…
