Rehabilitation of severely resorbed edentulous mandible using the modified visor osteotomy technique.

Coronal Split Corpus Osteotomy of the Mandible: A Modified Visor Osteotomy Technique for Bone Volume Enhancement.

The bony augmentation of severely atrophied mandible is generally required for the purposes of prosthetic rehabilitations. The treatment strategies have been well defined in the literature ranging from osteotomy techniques to distraction osteogenesis. Visor osteotomy is the milestone of the reconstructive surgery for the atrophied mandible which has received some modifications. In the present s...

Retained third molars removal in a severely resorbed edentulous mandible. A case report.

The presence of asymptomatic third molars can represent a potential problem in the mandible when these teeth are retained and the patient has lost all normally erupted teeth. Once the mandibular first and second molars are removed, the mandibular body becomes weaker with time, increasing the complexity, morbidity and incidence of complication in the surgical procedure to remove the retained thi...

Segmental sandwich osteotomy and tunnel technique for three-dimensional reconstruction of the jaw atrophy: a case report

BACKGROUND A three-dimensionally favourable mandibular bone crest is desirable to be able to successfully implant placement to meet the aesthetic and functional criteria in the implant-prosthetic rehabilitation. Several surgical procedures have been advocated for bone augmentation of the atrophic mandible, and the sandwich osteotomy is one of these techniques. The aim of the present case report...

Preimplant reconstruction of the severely resorbed posterior mandible using the Sandwich technique with piezosurgical osteotomy and Leukocyte - and Platelet - Rich Fibrin ( L - PRF ) : a 5 - year follow - up with histological controls

Use of a titanium mesh "shelter" combined with the soft tissue matrix expansion (tent pole) grafting in the reconstruction of a severely resorbed edentulous mandible. Technical note.

Patients wearing complete dentures for a long time usually exhibit lack of bone and keratinized mucosa in the bearing area due to bone resorption. The patients suffering from this phenomenon usually have unstable and non-retentive complete denture, which result in constant trauma to the mucosa, pain, functional limitations and worsening of facial esthetics. An innovative technique has been desc...
