Closure of oroantral communications with Bichat's buccal fat pad. Level of patient satisfaction
Purpose: To report the closure of oroantral communications with the pedicled buccal fat pad in a series of patients, and to determine the level of patient satisfaction after the surgery. Study Design: A prospective study of patients diagnosed of unilateral or bilateral oroantral communication (OAC) closed using the buccal fat pad between May 2012 and January 2013 was performed. Data analysis extended to: age, sex, and cause, location and size of oroantral communication. Complications and success related to buccal fat pad surgery were evaluated. Also, patient satisfaction was assessed after six months of surgery. Results: Nine patients (3 men and 6 women) with a mean age of 50.5 years and 11…
Injertos óseos en bloque intraorales tipo onlay: estudio de los tejidos duros y blandos periimplantarios
Los injertos óseos en bloque intraorales tipo onlay son una opción terapéutica para incrementar tanto la anchura como la altura del proceso alveolar para la posterior colocación de los implantes dentales. La colocación simultánea del implante con el injerto óseo permitiría acortar el tiempo de tratamiento y evitar un segunda cirugía, sin embargo aunque se ha descrito ampliamente en el aumento vertical, son escasos los estudios en el tratamiento del aumento horizontal. Por otro lado, diversos procedimientos se han utilizado para la atrofia vertical de los sectores posteriores de la mandíbula atrófica, sin embargo las complicaciones relacionadas con los procedimientos de aumento ha hecho que …
Intraoral onlay block bone grafts versus cortical tenting technique on alveolar ridge augmentations: a systematic review
To review systematically the bone gain and superficial resorption rate of the onlay block bone grafts versus the cortical tenting technique, as well as secondarily study the postoperative complications, implant survival and success rates, and peri-implant marginal bone loss. Following the recommended methods for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA), an electronic search was performed in the PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE and the Cochrane Library of the Cochrane Collaboration (CENTRAL) databases to identify all relevant articles published up to March 2021 on onlay block bone grafts and cortical tenting technique. Eighteen papers complied with the inclusion criteria. In onlay grafts, the v…
