Background: Lateral sinus augmentation and simultaneous insertion of dental implants is a highlypredictable procedure associated with high rate success.Aims: To evaluate implant stability changes following maxillary utilizing deproteinizedbovine bone alone or mixed platelet-rich fibrin.Materials Methods: A total 34 lateral procedures were performed 50 dentalimplants simultaneously installed. Th...

Pathomechanisms underlying vascular calcification biogenesis are still incompletely understood. Biomineral from human atherosclerotic intimal plaques; human, equine, and bovine medial vascular calcifications; and human and equine bone was released from collagenous organic matrix by sodium hydroxide/sodium hypochlorite digestion. Solid-state (13)C NMR of intimal plaque mineral shows signals from...

When multiple implants are to be placed, and a pneumatized sinus exists, the published reports suggest that the lateral window approach (LWA) is favored for sinus floor augmentation. Simultaneously, if a transcrestal sinus floor augmentation has been carried out (bone-added osteotome sinus floor elevation), the reports are restricted to single implant placement at any site. The aim of this stud...

BACKGROUND The objective of this pilot study was to evaluate the effect of local application of low-magnitude high-frequency vibration (LMHFV) on the bone healing of rabbit calvarial defects that were augmented with different grafting materials and membranes. METHODS Four calvarial defects were created in each of two New Zealand rabbits and filled with the following materials: biphasic calciu...

PURPOSE Following tooth extraction, alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) can maintain the dimensions of ridge height and width. Although previous studies have demonstrated the effects of ARP, few if any studies have investigated the compressive force applied during grafting. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of different compressive forces on the graft materials during ARP. METH...
