Abstract The posterior alveolar bone region of the maxilla has, in more than 40% cases, a height inferior to 4 mm, thus making rehabilitation with implants clinical challenge. This focus literature review was carried out through an exhaustive search PubMed, ScienceDirect, LILACS, Web Science, Scielo and Cochrane Library. aim illustrate analyse various factors that should be accounted for while ...

Alveolar ridge volume loss is an irreversible process. To prevent this physiological event, which typically result in significant local anatomical changes in both the horizontal and the vertical dimension, some strategies are indicated to minimize the loss of ridge volume that typically follows tooth extraction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if three different bone grafts could prom...

Several techniques and materials have been suggested for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) after dental extraction and before implant placement. This literature review aimed to discuss the histological and clinical aspects of alveolar healing and the ARP procedure after dental extraction and to verify whether it allows dental implant placement (with or without further augmentation). Despite the...

This case series evaluated the clinical efficacy of autogenous tooth bone graft material (AutoBT) in alveolar ridge preservation of an extraction socket. Thirteen patients who received extraction socket graft using AutoBT followed by delayed implant placements from Nov. 2008 to Aug. 2010 were evaluated. A total of fifteen implants were placed. The primary and secondary stability of the placed i...

of costal cartilages. Another problem in case of maxillectomy is the restoration of the maxillary alveolar arch. While the palate can be restored satisfactorily with soft tissue only, the cartilage and rib are inadequate as graft material when osseous-integrated implants are programmed, so this technique is unable to restore masticatory function. In our case, we performed a partial maxillectomy...

Cleft of lip, alveolar process and palate is the most common congenital defect affecting the face. It occurs at the time of early embryogenesis as a result of disturbed differentiation of the primordial cell layer and is associated with genetic and environmental factors. The most severe type of the defect is complete cleft of the lip, alveolar process and palate, unilateral or bilateral, which ...

A case is described of late pulmonary graft failure in a heart/lung transplant recipient. The major characteristics were alveolar fibrosis and a restrictive physiological deficit. Epstein-Barr virus was implicated as an aetiological agent using immunohistochemical analysis and by a response to treatment with ganciclovir.

The misuse of various chemicals in dentistry may cause damage to gingiva and alveolar bone. In this case report, we describe necrosis of the gingiva and alveolar bone caused by acid etching. A patient whose caries on the cervical third of the root of his mandibular right first molar were treated 2 days earlier presented to our clinic with severe pain and discomfort in the treated area. Intraora...

Background Autogenous bone block graft is considered the gold standard for lateral bony defects. Dentin has been identified to be a suitable autogenous material due its structural and chemical similarities alveolar bone. Methods This proof of concept study describes clinical application tooth shell technique in 24 sites with 27 implants 22 patients. A was fixed laterally defect microscrews. Dis...
