Objectives: Bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) has become one of the most obstinate and complicated pathology in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Defective or delayed epithelization of soft tissue…
Introduction: The use of hypnosis has been increasingly advocated in oral surgery to obtain sedation and decrease pain perception, but no data are so far available on dental pain threshold….
Objectives: The Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A) has shown a significant correlation with Corah’s Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS), but a discordance of 28% has been found between the two…
Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyse in vitro the stress distribution in craniofacial structures around zygomatic osseointegrated implants. Materials and methods: Synthetic polyurethane skulls replicas were used…
Aim: To provide scientific background from animal model for implant application in patients under immunosuppression. Materials and methods: Forty eight Wistar male rats in six groups were receiving: (1) (…
Aim: Microdialysis is an established method in brain research. Herewith samples from extracellular space can be collected. Aim of our study was to evaluate the concentration of growth factors and…
Aims: The chemical and biochemical modification of dental implant surfaces enables a new approach to influence the peri-implant bone formation. Bone formation in regions of reduced bone quality is of…
Introduction: Intra-oral bone grafting is a common procedure used to reconstruct the alveolar ridge and enable rehabilitation with dental implants. Extensive alveolar bone loss can result from trauma, follow post-ablative…
Objective: To evaluate long-term successes and failures of autotransplanted premolars, followed up to 30 years. Materials and methods: This study investigated a consecutive group of 100 patients treated with autotransplantation…
Aim: Incidence of osteoporosis in western countries is increasing due to demographic development. Osteoporosis is a potential risk factor for dental implants. There are different alternatives to induce osteoporosis in…
Aim: To analyse in vitro bioactivity of Ti6Al4V surfaces processed with Er:YAG laser at different parameters. Materials and methods: Ti6Al4V discs ( Ø = 7 mm) were used. Five treatment…
The surgical operations are associated with moderate to severe incidence of complications such as postoperative pain. Although there are several analgesic drugs, currently ketamine is used for postoperative pain control….
Aim: To analyse in vitro bioactivity of Ti6Al4V surfaces blasted with ZrO 2 /HA mixtures. Materials and methods: Ti6Al4V discs ( Ø = 7 mm) were used. Five treatment groups…
Aim: The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of dexamethasone given submucosally and intramuscularly on postoperative complications after removal of impacted third molars in a preliminary randomised prospective clinical trial….
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy of local anesthetic combined with ketamine for the relief or prevention of postoperative pain, swelling, and trismus after…
Purpose: The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the clinical accuracy of virtually planned implants placed in the maxilla using a mucosa supported surgical template. Materials and methods:…
Aim: The aim of this randomised controlled clinical trial was to compare the incidence of bacteraemia in conventional and computer-assisted flapless implant surgery. Materials and methods: Following the recruitment of…
Introduction: Implants have evolved to a rapidly growing technique for replace the missing teeth. The total number of implants being placed has increased significantly over the years, as the prevalence…
Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the bone regenerative process after AG or HG used as graft to correct intraoral defects in human. Methods: Autologous bone from…
Introduction: Dry socket is a frustrating problem which every practising oral surgeon faces routinely. To add insult to injury it is also commonly associated with a stigma due to which…
