Congenital maxillomandibular fusion: a report of three cases
In reply: Thank you very much for your contribution to our article. We agree with Dr. Rattan et al. that trigemino-cardiac reflex (TRC) could have been one of many other…
Bone anchoring of sutures for adequate repositioning of the soft tissue flaps in one stage dental implants
Abstract The choice of suture material and technique is important to optimize wound healing. If surgical wound edges are not properly approximated healing may be delayed because blood may accumulate…
Congenital maxillomandibular fusion: report of three cases
I read the article “Congenital maxillomandibular fusion: a report of three cases” by Hegab et al. with great interest. The occurrence of syngnathia is quite rare and there are no…
Fenestration of the mandibular buccal cortex by the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle
It has been observed that the presence of anatomical variations in the mandible is frequently overlooked in clinical management. The aim of this article is to describe two rare clinical…
Genetic and immunological markers predict titanium implant failure: a retrospective study
Abstract This study evaluates diagnostic markers to predict titanium implant failure. Retrospectively, implant outcome was scored in 109 subjects who had undergone titanium implant surgery, IL1A −889 C/T (rs1800587), IL1B…
Influence of miniscrew dental root proximity on its degree of late stability
Abstract Purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of miniscrew dental root proximity on its late stability degree. 40 miniscrews were inserted between maxillary second premolars and first…
Rehabilitation of edentulous posterior atrophic mandible: inferior alveolar nerve lateralization by piezotome and immediate implant placement
Abstract The height and consistency of the bone tissue located above the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) represents an important challenge when a patient’s atrophied posterior mandible is rehabilitated with an…
Clinical outcome and bone healing of implants placed with high insertion torque: 12-month results from a multicenter controlled cohort study
Abstract This study evaluated the clinical outcome and the crestal bone resorption of implants placed with high insertion torque (up to 80 N cm). 102 patients were treated with 156…
Are success and survival rates of early implant placement higher than immediate implant placement?
