Objective: Increased experience in sinus lifting procedures has led to a number of literature reports, but the potential effects of sinus lifting on voice quality is not clearly addressed in…
Introduction: This study examines 10-year treatment outcomes in this patient population over the time-span of the changing treatment paradigm. Methods: A cohort of 290 patients was followed for 344 months…
Bioglasses are considered osteoconductive and osteoproductive biomaterials and some types also exhibit angiogenic, bacteriostatic and anti-inflammatory properties. Despite these facts, bioglasses have only a few commercial applications, mainly because they…
Background and objectives: To describe an endoscopic technique applicable to dental implantation and sinus lift procedures using a newly developed dental implant – the dynamic implant valve approach. Methods: Closed…
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the long-term reliability of Locator®-retained mandibular or maxillary overdentures and to examine clinical and radiographic parameters of the supporting implants. Patients…
For a century, autologous bone grafts have been used in maxillofacial reconstruction. Best harvest site and grafting procedure remain discussed to ensure stable bone quantity and density, without serious complications….
Background and objectives: There are many ways to litf the maxillary sinus mucosa in order to obtain adequate bony conditions prior to implantation. Among these ‘sinus graft’ and ‘sinus lift’,…
Background objectives: Implant supported over dentures vastly improve oral functions in patients with reconstructed mandibles. However, the quality of the peri-implant soft tissues is often not optimal. The aim of…
Aim: To evaluate histological and histomorphometric findings of calvarial split bone grafts for alveolar ridge reconstruction in dental implantology. Methods: Alveolar ridge reconstruction was performed using calvarial bone grafts in…
Objectives: Maxillary sinus membrane lifting is a common procedure aimed at increasing the volume of the maxillary sinus osseous floor prior to inserting dental implants. Recently we proved in vitro…
