Inferior Alveolar Nerve (IAN) transposition is an option for prosthetic rehabilitation in cases of moderate or even severe bone reabsorption for patients that do not tolerate removable dentures. The aim of the present report is to describe an inferior alveolar nerve transposition with involvement of the mental foramen for implant placement. The surgical procedure was performed under local anest...

This case report discusses a case of aseptic osteonecrosis in a cranioplasty bone flap after decompressive craniectomy, which is a known, but rare complication after autologous cranioplasty. We suggest that the pathophysiology of cranial bone flap necrosis may have a similar pathophysiology to free flap necrosis/failure. The key suggested problem causing the osteonecrosis is vessel thrombosis w...

To enable accurate implant placement and precise drilling following preoperative simulation, we developed the BoneNavi system. To realize more precise drilling when the holes are upsized, two methods of surgical guiding were attempted in the present study. One involved using multiple surgical guides with titanium tubes of different diameters, and the other involved using a single surgical guide...

Background: Drilling is one of the most widely used process in orthopaedic surgical operation and the same drill bit is used a number of times in hospitals. Using the same drill bit a several times may be the cause of osteosynthesis and osteonecrosis. Methods: In the present work, the effect of repeated orthopaedic surgical twist drill bit on the tool wear, force, torque, temperature and chip m...

Subchondral drilling and microfracture are bone marrow stimulation techniques commonly used for the treatment of cartilage defects. Few studies to date have examined the technical variants which may influence the success of the cartilage repair procedures. This study compared the effect of hole depth (6 mm vs. 2 mm) and hole type (drill vs. microfracture) on chondral defect repair using a matur...

BACKGROUND Multiple small drilling for core decompression is widely used to preserve the femoral head in patients with avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH). Nevertheless, the clinical outcome remains controversial. Simvastatin has been demonstrated to promote bone formation and reduce bone adsorption. The purpose of this study was to determine whether simvastatin enhanced the effect of...

This reviews objective is to inform readers of a creative substitute for traditional drilling techniques that keeps host bone in the greatest possible biological shape implant placement. 4 Optic and electronic microscopy have also demonstrated obtained through this method live bone. crucial since clinical studies indicated autogenous best filler defects. gathering may make it easier manipulate ...

Background: The present study was conducted to quantify the relationships between bone drilling process parameters(i.e., feed rate, resting time, exit rate, and drill bit diameter) and drilling outcome parameters (i.e., thrust force andmaximum temperature).Methods: This study utilized 10-cm cortical bovine samples to evaluate the effects of four independent parameters,in...

BACKGROUND Graft fixation is critical to the restoration of the medial patella of femoral ligament function and long-term success. Numerous fixations at the patella have been described, while the complications including patellar fractures, violation of the posterior patella and delay of tendon-to-bone healing remain significant challenges. Here, we describe a safe and firm fixation at the patel...
