With the loss of teeth begins a process of resorption of the alveolar process already well known by dentists, greatly hampered the rehabilitation of patients with total prostheses or implants….
The rehabilitation treatment in patients with severely atrophic maxilla has always challenged the skills and expertise of most experienced professionals in dentistry. The physiological process of alveolar bone resorption after…
Microvascular free fibula transfer is accepted as the gold standard in jaw reconstruction following ablative surgery. Apart from fibula, other free bone flaps are also used in select situations. With…
Introduction: During restoration of hypoplastic maxillary edentulous alveolar bone, the use of bone graft materials have gain importance for improving bone formation and healing, resulting in better osseous support for…
Aim: Evaluate sand-blasted-acid attached and resorbable blast media surfaces with cell culture test. Material and methods: Twenty-four grade-4 titanium discs (12-SLA, 12 RBM) at 5 mm diameter were used. Human…
Purpose: The osteotome and the sinus lift are representative methods to overcome the lack of posterior maxillary alveolar bone height. But Lateral approaches are primarily recommended for lower than 5…
Introduction: The upper lateral incisors are the second absent just after the second premolars in a 12.3%; may be an unique case or as part of a syndrome. Objective: Literature…
The process of bone resorption and pneumatization of the maxillary sinus are phenomena related to tooth loss in the posterior–superior area, which at present increase the difficulty mentioned rehabilitation area….
Panoramic and periapical radiographies are widely used in maxillofacial surgery in the preoperative planning for the extraction of third molars. In this study the accuracy of these two radiographic techniques…
The calvarial bone is highlighted as a good donor area for large reconstructions of atrophic jaw for subsequent rehabilitation with implant-supported prosthesis. The aim of this study was to observe…
