Upper face rejuvenation
Abstract The area of the upper face occupies about one third of the surface area of the whole face. The anatomical landmarks involve the forehead, brow, glabella and the upper…
Bone apposition to laminin-1 coated implants: histologic and 3D evaluation
Abstract Laminin-1 has been reported as one of the factors responsible for the nucleation of calcium phosphates and, in vitro , has been reported to selectively recruit osteoprogenitors. This article…
Effect of alveolar bone support on zygomatic implants: a finite element analysis study
Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of maxillary alveolar bone on the stress distribution of zygomatic implants. A three-dimensional finite element model was created of…
Buccal plate preservation with immediate post-extraction implant placement and provisionalization: Preliminary results of a new technique
Abstract Bone resorption and remodelling are inevitable sequelae of dental extraction and begin immediately after the extraction procedure. The buccal plate is especially predisposed to these phenomena, and if affected,…
High-dose zoledronic acid narrows the periodontal space in rats
Abstract The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the histological effects of zoledronic acid on the periodontal space in rats. 40 male Wistar rats were divided into three zoledronic…
An evaluation of preferred lip positions according to different age groups
Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare preferred facial profiles rated by different age groups. An average profile of each gender was constructed from subjects with normal occlusions….
Interforaminal implant placement in oral cancer patients: during ablative surgery or delayed? A 5-year retrospective study
Abstract In a retrospective study, two mandibular prosthetic rehabilitation strategies supported by implants in oral cancer patients were evaluated: implants placed in the non-resected edentulous symphyseal area during ablative surgery…
A palatal roll envelope technique for peri-implant mucosa reconstruction: a prospective case series study
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate peri-implant soft tissue changes after performing a palatal roll envelope technique. Twelve patients, presenting a labial flat or concave profile before…
Inferior alveolar nerve transposition and reposition for dental implant placement in edentulous or partially edentulous mandibles: a multicenter retrospective study
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the success and complications following inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) transposition/reposition for dental implant placement in edentulous or partially edentulous mandibles. This…
Prevention of osteonecrosis of the jaw by mucoperiosteal coverage in a rat model
Abstract There is evidence for a link between the use of systemic bisphosphonates and osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). This condition has the appearance of chronic osteomyelitis, and antibiotics prevent…
