Bisphosphonate Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (BRONJ) is a severe complication described as an area of bone in the jaw that has necrosed and been exposed in the mouth for…
Background and objectives : BRONJ is characterized by a chronic soft tissue wound and bone necrosis exclusive to the jaws of a fraction of patients taking bishosphonates. Oral bishosphonates are…
Background and objectives : Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is an important complication in cancer patients taking intravenous Bisphosphonates. In most cases, BRONJ is associated with an oral surgery…
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) simulates tissue regeneration and can be usefull in treating osteonecrosis bisphosphonate induced. Material and methods : Between January 2012 and January…
Introduction : ONJ risk factors include the exposure to the long term doses of intra-venous bisphosphonates, concomitant use of corticosteroids (combined therapy) and a surgical dental procedure. The aim of…
The frequency of BRONJ following dental extraction in osteoporotic patients on oral bisphosphonates is of key interest to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. The estimated frequency of the pathology ranges from…
Osteonecrosis of the jaw has been increasingly suspected to be a potencial complication of biphosphonate terapy in the recent year. These drugs are used in the cronic treatment of osteopenic…
Abstract The present study evaluated the use of this self-activated shape memory alloy (SMA) device, with a focus on its effects in the region under the periosteum. Materials and methods…
Background and objectives : Guided bone regeneration (GBR) has proven to be a predictable procedure for alveolar ridge augmentation prior to implant dentistry. In guided bone regeneration, a barrier membrane…
Background and objectives : Beneath titanium and zirconia recently also polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been promoted as suitable implant material especially in orthopedics. Although highly biocompatible, these PEEK-based materials do not…
