A new morphologic classification of the alveolar ridge after distraction osteogenesis in human patients. A 17 years retrospective case series study
2020
Background To perform a morphologic classification based on the results of bone augmentation after a distraction osteogenesis. Material and Methods Thirty-four (34) patients (24 women and 10 men; mean age, 47.1 years (SD=9.5); age range, 23 to 62 years) underwent a total of 42 alveolar ridge distractions before the placement of a total of 89 dental implants. Ridge bone morphology was evaluated as the main ordinal variable. Chi-squared, Kruskal-Wallis and ANOVA one-way test were used. Results Category I (30.95%): consisted of wide alveolar rim and no bone defects Category II (28.57%): wide alveolar rim, lateral bone surface concavity. Category III (23.81%): narrow alveolar rim, lateral bone …
Influence of a collagen membrane and recombinant platelet-derived growth factor on vertical bone augmentation in implant-fixed deproteinized bovine b…
2012
Combinations of bone substitute block materials with membrane techniques as well as with growth factors are possible options to enhance the prognosis of vertical bone augmentation. Therefore, the aim of the pilot study was to compare the influence of a collagen membrane and a signal protein (rhPDGF-BB) on vertical bone augmentation with a stable fixed block material (deproteinized bovine bone [DBB]).In 12 rabbits, a DBB-block was implant-fixed on the tibia in a split-leg-design. Included were: DBB only (control), DBB + collagen membrane (test), DBB + rhPDGF-BB (test) and DBB + rhPDGF-BB + collagen membrane (test). 24 samples were examined after 3 (n = 12) and 6 weeks (n = 12). Calculated pa…
Narrow-diameter implants: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
2018
OBJECTIVES Narrow-diameter implants (NDI) are claimed to be a reasonable alternative to bone augmentation procedures. The aim of this comprehensive literature review was to conduct a meta-analysis comparing the implant survival of NDI and standard diameter implants (SDI) and to provide recommendations and guidelines for application of NDI. MATERIAL AND METHODS An extensive systematic literature search was performed in the PubMed/MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library databases. NDI were classified into Category 1 (implant diameter <3.0 mm, "mini-implants"), Category 2 (implant diameter 3-3.25 mm) and Category 3 (implant diameters 3.3-3.5 mm). Clinical studies at all levels of evidence with at lea…
Treatment concepts of horizontally deficient ridges-A retrospective study comparing narrow-diameter implants in pristine bone with standard-diameter …
2021
OBJECTIVES To compare clinical and radiological outcomes of narrow-diameter implants (NDI) placed in pristine bone to standard-diameter implants placed in combination with horizontal bone augmentation procedures (SDI+A) for horizontally deficient alveolar ridges. MATERIAL AND METHODS For this retrospective study, the outcome of 597 NDI (∅ 3.3 mm, 272 patients), inserted in pristine bone, were compared with 180 SDI (∅ 4.1 mm, 83 patients), inserted in combination with horizontal augmentation procedures. Oral health-related quality of life was assessed in patients available for recall. RESULTS After a mean follow-up of 37.6 ± 40 months for the NDI and of 42.4 ± 49 months for the SDI+A, surviv…
Need for lateral bone augmentation at two narrow-diameter implants: A prospective, controlled, clinical study.
2021
To detect the potential influence of implant diameter and anatomic factors on the need for bone augmentation procedures (BAPs) when replacing congenitally missing lateral incisors (MLIs).Patients with congenitally missing MLIs with a mesio-distal distance between the canine and the central incisor of 5.9-6.3 mm received a Ø2.9 mm implant while Ø3.3 mm implants were placed when the distance was 6.4-7.1 mm. The following linear measurements were recorded using a calliper: width of the alveolar process (WAP), width of the bony alveolar ridge (WAR) and thickness of the facial bone after implant osteotomy (TFB). Guided bone regeneration was performed in case of fenestration- or dehiscence-type d…
Melatonin enhances vertical bone augmentation in rat calvaria secluded spaces.
2015
Background Melatonin has many roles, including bone remodeling and osseointegration of dental implants. The topical application of melatonin facilitated bone regeneration in bone defects. We evaluated the effects of topical application of melatonin on vertical bone augmentation in rat calvaria secluded spaces. Material and Methods In total, 12 male Fischer rats were used and two plastic caps were fixed in the calvarium. One plastic cap was filled with melatonin powder and the other was left empty. Results Newly generated bone at bone defects and within the plastic caps was evaluated using micro-CT and histological sections. New bone regeneration within the plastic cap was increased signific…
Bone Augmentation in Dental Implantology Using Press-Fit Bone Cylinders and Twin-Principle Diamond Hollow Drills: A Case Series
2009
Background: Bone transplants are mostly prepared with cutting drills, chisels, and rasps. These techniques are difficult for unexperienced surgeons, and the implant interface is less precise due to unstandardized preparation. Cylindrical bone transplants are a known alternative. Current techniques include fixation methods with osteosynthesis screws or the dental implant. Purpose: A new bone cylinder transplant technique is presented using a twin-drill principle resulting in a customized pressfit of the transplant without fixation devices and combining this with the superior grinding properties of a diamond coating. Materials and Methods: New cylindrical diamond hollow drills are used for cu…
Les membranes en chirurgie pré-implantaire
2012
The use of membranes in pre-implantation surgery is part of the guided bone regeneration (GBR) concept, one of the usual bone augmentation techniques. Membranes for GBR procedures have two main uses: a mechanical function to maintain bone regeneration space and a physical function as cellular barrier. The goal is to promote colonization of the regeneration space located under the membrane, by osteogenic cells from the residual bone walls. GBR was the subject of numerous publications and protocols since its first use in the 1980s. These protocols are mainly supported by team experience and the level of evidence is poor. Few indications are truly validated. The goal of our study was to review…
OPTIMIZING PREIMPLANTARY OFFER TROUGH PIEZOSURGERY TECHNIQUES
2016
Introduction. In most of the cases, duet o post-extractional atrophy the bone offer is insufficent for placing implants. Piezosurgery splitting techniques represent the modern and non-invasive alternative used for ridge remodeling, sinus lift and other surgical bone preservation maneuvres. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to present new surgical techniques that radically simplify maxillary sinus interventation, avoiding membrane perforation and new splitting tecniques in advanced bone and ridge atrophy. Material and method. In this study, sinus lifting was performed using piezo-elevation of the membrane and the pressure ogenerated by the saline solution. Out of 67 patients, 20 have had…
Horizontal and Vertical Reconstruction of the Severely Resorbed Maxillary Jaw Using Subantral Augmentation and a Novel Tenting Technique with Bone fr…
2013
Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of using the lateral wall bone in sinus lifting two-dimensional reconstruction on bone augmentation.Patients and Methods Ten patients affected by class V or VI maxillary atrophy with less than 3 mm of residual horizontal ridge were selected. Using a piezo-ultrasonic surgery tip bony lateral wall was cut. To expose native bone to the bone graft, multiple perforations, made through the cortical plate of the recipient site with a round bur. Once the bony buccal wall was adjusted it was fixed away from the ridge with two 1.5 x 13 mm bone fixation screws. Deficiencies created between the bony buccal wall and the ridge was filled with a mineral…
