Radiological implications of crestal and subcrestal implant placement in posterior areas. A cone-beam computed tomography study
2020
Background Subcrestal implant placement has been suggested as a method that could contribute to maintain the periimplant soft and hard tissues in comparison with crestal placement. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between implant placement at different depths in the alveolar bone and (a) the thickness of the buccal bone plate (BBP); and (b) crestal cortical bone thickness, based on the use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Material and Methods A cross-sectional study was performed, analyzing CBCT scans from the database of the Oral Surgery Unit of the University of Valencia. Individuals with single missing teeth in posterior sectors were included. Two t…
Single- and Partial Multiple-Unit Provisional Restorations in the Esthetic Area
2019
The immediate implant-supported provisional restoration in the partially or totally edentulous patients is a predictable and well-accepted procedure in dentistry. The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms defines a provisional prosthesis as a prosthesis designed to improve or evaluate esthetics, speech, and occlusal function in a period of time between implant placement and final restoration with a definitive prosthesis. Planning and design should always take place during the pre-surgical phase of treatment and constitute a tool for communication among the members of the team, which in most cases is of a multidisciplinary nature (prosthodontist, surgeon, dental technician, and patient).
Torque Control During Intrusion on Upper Central Incisor in Labial and Lingual bracket System - A 3D Finite Element Study
2018
Background The aim of present study was to investigate the difference of torque control during intrusive force on upper central incisors with normal, under and high torque in lingual and labial orthodontic systems through 3D finite element analysis. Material and methods Six 3D models of an upper right central incisor with different torque were designed in Solid Works 2006. Software ANSYS Version 16.0 was used to evaluate intrusive force on upper central incisor model . An intrusive force of 0.15 N was applied to the bracket slot in different torque models and the displacements along a path of nodes in the upper central incisor was assessed. Results On application of Intrusive force on under…
Dynamische Analyse von Osteosynthesen am Olecranon: ein in-vitro Vergleich zweier Osteosynthesesysteme / Dynamic analysis of olecranon osteosyntheses…
2008
INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to develop a test setup with continuous angle alteration to imitate elbow joint motion for the mechanical evaluation of tension band wiring and a newly designed intramedullary nail. MATERIALS AND METHODS The servo-pneumatical test stand worked with a rotational angle-adjusted and a linear force-adjusted engine. The fracture model was dynamically tested under cyclic loading imitating elbow joint motion. In total, 14 fresh cadaver upper extremities underwent olecranon fracture by means of transverse osteotomy and were assigned to two groups: tension band wiring and intramedullary nailing. There was a continuous angle alteration between 0 and 1000 …
Etiology, Modalities of Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fracture, open reduction and fixation.
2020
Background Zygomatic complex fracture is second most common mid face fracture and frequent amongst the maxillofacial trauma. Fracture pattern ranges from simple to comminuted and from minimally displaced to severely displaced depending on various factors. Material and methods 98 patients with zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture reporting during December 2017 to January 2020 were included in the study. On the basis of radiographic evaluation and computerized tomography scan (CT scan) with 3D reconstruction severity of fracture was assessed and different treatment options were selected. Results Road traffic accident accounted as the leading cause of fracture (57.1%) followed by self-fall (16…
Sagittal, rotational and transverse changes with three intraoral distalization force systems : Jones jig, distal jet and first class
2020
Background To compare the maxillary dentoalveolar changes of patients treated with three distalization force systems: Jones Jig, Distal Jet and First Class appliances, using digitized models. Material and Methods The retrospective sample comprised 118 digitized models of 59 patients with Class II malocclusion divided into three groups: Group 1 consisted of 22 patients treated with the Jones Jig appliance; Group 2 consisted of 20 patients treated with the Distal Jet, and Group 3 comprised 17 patients treated with the First Class appliance. Pretreatment and post-distalization plaster models of all patients were digitized and evaluated with OrthoAnalyzerTM software. The pretreatment and post-d…
Classification of Gingival Recession
2018
Gingival recession is a common finding in many patients and is clinically manifested by an apical displacement of the gingival margin in relation to the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ). Various classification systems have been proposed to classify gingival recession defects and to predict final root coverage outcomes. Among them, the Miller classification is still the most commonly used among dental practitioners and researchers. This chapter reviews the different classification systems available for gingival recession defects and explores the strengths and limitations of them.
Prothèses totales des articulations temporomandibulaires
2016
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is probably the most complex human joint. As in all joints, its prosthetic replacement may be indicated in selected cases. Significant advances have been made in the design of TMJ prostheses during the last three decades and the indications have been clarified. The aim of our work was to make an update on the current total TMJ total joint replacement. Indications, contraindications, prosthetic components, advantages, disadvantages, reasons for failure or reoperation, virtual planning and surgical protocol have been exposed.
Dentoalveolar changes in adults promoted by the use of auxiliary expansion arch: A CBCT study
2019
Background The objective of this study was to evaluate the dentoalveolar effects and the changes of buccal cortical bone in the posterior area after expansion obtained with TMA auxiliary expansion arch in adult patients. Material and Methods A retrospective analysis of CT scans of 13 patients (6 male, 7 female) treated at a private clinic, taken immediately before and after the use of an auxiliary expansion archwire, was performed. Mean age at installation of TMA auxiliary expansion arch was 29.23 years (s.d.=9.13) and the mean age when the auxiliary arch was removed was 29.52 years (s.d.=9.16). Mean time of the use of the TMA auxiliary expansion arch was 0.29 years (s.d.=0.09). The patient…
ALLOGENEIC BONE GRAFTING MATERIALS – UPDATE OF THE CURRENT SCIENTIFIC STATUS
2017
Worldwide population aging and associated with it epidemics of osteoporosis, widespread of bone and joint reconstructive surgery and first of all joint replacement lead to explosive growth of interest in bone grafting.Although autografts are still the golden standard in bone regeneration, allogeneic bone substitutes have reached a state that allows for their application with satisfying clinical results. However, it has repeatedly been supposed that the different allogeneic materials underwent different purification processes, which modifies bone regeneration properties of these materials and also for different safety conditions. In the present publication, the treatment of the precursor tis…
