The mechanical and chemical surface modifications of titanium (Ti) due to corrosion attack into the oral cavity may be an important factor for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) affinity and thereby could contribute…
One of the biggest challenges in implant dentistry is the rehabilitation of the severely resorbed maxilla. The resorptive process has not only rendered the volume of bone available for implant…
Osseointegrated implants have acquired an important role in the prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with craniofacial defects. This study presents a histomorphometric analysis of craniofacial implant of different shape, diameter and…
Purpose: To examine whether the rapid increase in the availability of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has changed the number of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injuries related to the removal of…
Aim: Insertion torque and Periotest are two noninvasive methods to measure dental implant stability. The objective of this study was to assess the correlation of these nondestructive analytical tools for…
Dental autotransplantation is a surgical technique aimed at treating tooth loss, whose success has been influenced by poor healing of the autotransplant. Numerous investigations have been conducted to optimize the…
Objective: To evaluate allogenous in comparison to autogenous bone grafts in sinus augmentation followed by implants placement. Materials and methods: Ten patients with posterior maxillary alveolar residual crest <3 mm…
Objective: Odontogenic infections can range from low-grade complications that can be treated with minor surgical procedures to severe, life-threatening infections requiring surgical airway interventions. In comparison to timely extractions, odontogenic…
Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a benign, slow growing, expansive epithelial odontogenic tumour. It is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a neoplasm composed of proliferating odontogenic epithelium embedded…
The aim of this study was to review the medical charts of patients asking for extraction of impacted mandibular third molars at the clinic of the Faculty of Dentistry (Finis…
Introduction: Mandibular continuity defects are frequently caused by tumour removal or significant trauma. Reconstructive procedures of segmental mandible defects often require bone graft harvesting, which results in donor site morbidity;…
After extraction of posterior mandibular teeth the posterior dentoalveolar maxillary extrusion is common finding in edentulous patients, in this conditions if the posterior maxillary teeth were lost the initial decrease…
Introduction: Hydraulic procedures are reported to avoid any tearing forces on the sinus membrane. Hydrodynamic ultrasonic cavitational sinuslift (HUCSL) uses an ultrasonic oscillating water column to lift up the sinus…
The aim of this paper is to present the two cases with extensive ameloblastomas of the mandible requiring immediate reconstruction. Patients with mandibular ameloblastomas diagnosed histopathologically were treated in Kingston…
Nowadays, it is well known that microsurgical jaw reconstruction with free fibula flap is a reliable therapeutic method. Only 25% of the patients obtain a complete oral rehabilitation and the…
Introduction: In many cases of the oral tumors it is technically possible to perform intraoral resection. If reconstruction with free flap is necessary, we need to expose donor vessels usually…
The process of reconstruction in the maxillofacial region, not just about restoring the anatomical structures in need, but also to restore function on an anatomical structure with new elements and…
Introduction: The reconstruction of a mandibular defect remains a significant challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. The aim of this study is to describe the experience of a Nigerian tertiary hospital…
The use of osteointegrated implants to rehabilitate large bone defects is still a challenge for surgeons. This is a good option of anchorage to provide support for a maxillary-dental-facial prosthesis…
Techniques of mandibular reconstruction have improved, and better responses have been achieved after the development of reconstruction plates. Several brands have defined criteria, and accurate prognoses can be made. However,…
