Aim: To introduce a new device and technique to widen a narrow alveolar crest prior to implantation. Materials and methods: A new distractor was used to widen a narrow alveolar…
Purpose: This study used finite element analysis and a clinical case example to support a hypothesis that a wing-thread placed 4 mm below the top of the implant would decrease…
Background and objectives: Retrieval of failed implants is a problematic procedure in the field of implant dentistry. Since the procedures for removal of fixed implants are aggressive or require specific…
Objectives: Dental implant treatment is regarded as a safe technique with high rate of success. However, complications should be taken into consideration, because they can follow dental implant surgery as…
Background and objectives: The feeling of bone quality during drilling procedure is important to predict the prognosis of dental implant. Although we actually use a classification of D1, D2, D3…
A 79 year old patient received 15 implants in the upper and lower jaw 24 years ago, which were treated with a fixed bridge. After 24 years one implant in…
Background and objectives: The aim of this study is to analyze the reconstruction of small to moderate size intraoral defects following malignant tumors excision using the nasolabial inferiorly based flap….
To this study a group of 79 patients (36% male and 64% female), average age of 59 years old (ranging from 36 to 85 years old), showing atrophic maxilla, with…
Background and objectives: Patients with maxillary atrophy after multiple surgical attempts or oro-nasal communications after maxillectomy remain a challenge for adequate reconstruction and dental rehabilitation. A new palatal flap design…
Background and objectives: Implant stability is an indicator of osseointegration. Maxillary and mandibular anatomy differs in the amount of trabecular and cortical bone. The aim of this study was to…
Immediate implantation has the important advantages, as possibility to minimize of alveolar bone loss after physiological healing of tooth socket, decrease of surgical stages and terms of treatment. The purpose…
Background and objectives: It is evident that jaw growth may be very compromising for oral implants. Nevertheless, more and more, implants are placed in adolescents, specially after trauma. The aim…
Restoration of severely atrophic edentulous posterior maxilla with implant installation could be impossible unless, augmentation of that area was done. This study was made to evaluate augmentation of atrophic maxillary…
Background and objectives: To evaluate the benefits of pre-operative model surgery and the ease of use of a maxillary sinus surgical stent (MSSS) during maxillary sinus augmentation surgery with a…
Background: The placement of dental implant in the edentulous posterior maxilla often present difficulties as a result of insufficient bone due to pneumatization of the maxillary sinus and bone resorption…
Background and objectives: The objective of this study was to develop a 3D pharyngeal airway analysis using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in class III patients and to compare airway parameters…
Purpose: To show the applications of Rapid Prototyping technique (RP)in the mandible reconstruction. Methods: We treated 20 patients that were divided into 2 groups. Group A underwent by RP and…
Background and objectives: Dental and Maxillofacial radiology has long played an exciting and critical diagnostic role, never truer than now with the rapidly expanding array of imaging modalities. Conventional radiographs…
Introduction: Morphological changes are often observed in condyles after orthognatic surgery. CBCT enables interpretation of volumetric changes and 3D visualization of condylar changes; however, accurate 3D reconstruction and volume rendering…
Background : Quality of the interdisciplinary interface in oncological treatment between surgery, pathology and radiotherapy is mainly dependent on reliable anatomical three-dimensional allocation of specimen and their context sensitive interpretation…
