Objectives: Aim of this study is to evaluate the neo-angiogenic response of host tissue towards two different bone grafts: Homologous Iliac Crest Graft (HG) and Autologous Calvaria Graft (AG), by…
Introduction: Few studies assess the outcome of bone grafts placed by surgical trainees as an adjunct to implant rehabilitation. This study aims to review the survival of bone grafting procedures,…
Introduction: The endodontic treatment today represents a great challenge, despite the fact that everyday new and innovative technologies facilitate this procedure; there are still cases where the resolution is not…
Introduction: Bone quality and quantity is most important issue for successful dental implantology. Using bone radiological and morphological investigation is possible to evaluate bone quality before implantation and during bone…
Objective: The “third molar model” is a superb surgical scientific prototype for investigating factors which influence acute pain particularly in a healthy young sample, devoid of premorbid conditions that typically…
Objectives: In 2007 a systematic review was published that evaluated the available evidence that barrier membranes prevent bone resorption in autologous bone grafts (Gielkens et al., IJOMI; 2007). It was…
Objectives: Continuation of anticoagulant therapy in patients undergoing dentoalveolar surgery is recommended because of the risk for thromboembolic events. Little information is available about the incidence of rebleeding in these…
To investigate retrospectively the incidence and risk factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery. Data were obtained from patients treated between January 2005 and June 2006 in…
Introduction: Definitive management of traumatic injuries to the teeth and their supporting structures are often referred to the maxillofacial and oral surgeon for treatment of the acute phase. Further management…
Introduction: The extraction of the erupted upper third molars (EUTMs) may be required in different clinical conditions (i.e. orthodontic treatment, periodontal disease). This study evaluates a new anatomical–radiological–surgical classification for…
Introduction: Flapless technique has become a popular option in implantology recently. There are not many reports with large number of implants placed using this technique in the literature. Objective: To…
The placement of dental implants into fresh extraction sites has been performed for more than 20 years. There are numerous advantages in this treatment modality for both patient and surgeon….
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of systemic antibiotic prophylaxis 2 g amoxicillin/125 clavulanic acid in preventing infection after extracting inferior third molars totally covered by bone in healthy adults. Methods:…
Background: Previous studies show that the treatment of the implant surface presents more bone formation than the turned implants. Other studies indicate the possibility of having an implant in bone…
Introduction: During dentoalveolar surgery, liver transplant candidates need special care regarding hemostasis impairment, related to reduced hepatic synthesis of procoagulants factors and thrombocytopenia. Purpose: The aim of this prospective study…
Objective: To evaluate the role of statin (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor) when combined with autogenous bone for ridge augmentation. Material and methods: In 10 patients suffering from horizontal and vertical bone…
Introduction: Hydraulic procedures are reported to avoid any tearing forces on the sinus membrane. Hydrodynamic ultrasonic cavitational sinus lift (HUCSL) uses an ultrasonic oscillating water column to lift up the…
Aim: In daily practice of dental implants, it becomes an inevitable challenge to place the implants in the severe cases such as the narrow or shallow alveolar ridge. It has…
Aim: The aim of this study is to analyse the use of a computer-aided three-dimensional planning protocol in combination with previously inserted reference mini-implants and CAD/CAM technology to restore completely…
Purpose: To compare the intra-oral approach using a contra-angled hand piece with the standard transbuccal approach in the treatment of mandibular angle fractures. Patients and methods: Thirty patients with isolated…
