Dental caries status in adults with sleep apnea - hypopnea syndrome.
2022
A study is made of dental caries in a group of adults with sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS), establishing comparisons with healthy individuals corresponding to the same population.A case-control series was analyzed, including patients with recently diagnosed SAHS and individuals without SAHS. Dental examinations were made to record the DMF (decayed, missing, filled) dental score, and demographic, lifestyle and clinical data were collected.A total of 114 participants (60 SAHS cases and 54 controls) were included in the study. Although the mean DMF score in the SAHS group was higher than in the control group (7.03 versus 4.81, respectively), the multivariate regression analysis did not fi…
Delayed expansion of atrophic mandible (deam): a case report
2017
Purpose. The present case report presents the clinical results of delayed expansion of mandibles by ultrasonic surgery in case of mono edentulous. Materials and methods. The patients with a residual alveolar ridge thickness between 2,3 and 4,1 mm in the coronal area of posterior mandible was threated. In the first stage, four linear corticotomies were carried out by ultrasonic surgical device; bone expansion was not performed. After 4 weeks, in the second stage, adequate bone expansion, without compromising cortical vascularisation, by utilising a combination of scalpel, thin chisels and threaded osteotomes was achieved and one implant was placement, after filling the gaps with a cortico bo…
