Bone resorption processes in patients wearing overdentures : a 6-years retrospective study
Objectives: 1. – To measure the alveolar resorption processes that occur in patients wearing mandibular overdentures on 2 implants and fully-removable maxillary dentures, and to evaluate the same process on patients wearing fully- removable dentures on both arches. 2.- To verify whether Kelly’s Combination Syndrome occurs in the group of patients wearing overdentures. Method and Material: Forty patients were evaluated, of which a “cases” group was formed by 25 patients wearing mandibular overdentures on 2 lower jaw implants and fully-removable dentures on the opposite arch. The other 15 patients formed a control group that wore fully-removable dentures on both arches. Each one of the patien…
The 100 most cited articles in peri-implant diseases. A bibliometric study of the web of science.
The purpose of the study was to analyze the 100 most-cited articles on peri-implantitis pathology in the Web of Science database.The articles were selected from all categories of the Web of Science, to consider all variations and synonyms of peri-implant disease. Articles were reviewed for typographical, transcription, and indexing errors.The top 100 most-cited articles were published from 1994 to 2018, and had a total of 24,103 citations; 53 of the studies were funded. In total, 274 authors contributed to the papers, 5 of whom contributed to 10 or more articles. Review (n = 47) and clinical (n = 45) articles were the most prevalent types. European public universities made the largest contr…
Impacto del tratamiento periodontal en el ratio rnakl/opg
La reabsorción ósea es uno de los procesos con mayor transcendencia en la periodontitis. El descubrimiento del eje RANKL/RANL/0PG (receptor activador de la osteoclastogénesis) supuso un avance en la comprensión del remodelado óseos fisiológico y patológico. Los recientes estudios realizados tanto a nivel histológico como a nivel del fluido crevicular, han comprobado el aumento del ratio RANKL/OPG en los pacientes con periodontitis.Nuevos conocimientos en ésta línea aportarán información sobre la patogenia y por tanto podrían ser utilizados en el diagnóstico y tratamiento periodontal. Objetivo: Determinar el efecto del tratamiento periodontal básico (raspado y alisado radicular, junto con in…
Impact of periodontal treatment on the RANKL/OPG ratio in crevicular fluid.
Aim Alveolar resorption is one of the most important events in periodontitis. Osteoclast activity is regulated by the ratio between receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG). The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the RANKL/OPG ratio in crevicular fluid after periodontal treatment. Material and methods A total of 15 patients with periodontitis were included in the study group. Samples were collected from an area with active periodontitis and a healthy area. The RANKL and OPG levels were measured before and after periodontal scaling and root planing (SRP) treatment. The study group was compared to the control group, which included 10 patients without peri…
