purposes: the aim of this study was to evaluate the intra and inter-examiner reliability and reproducibility of linear measurements in cone-beam tomography (cbct) images taken by calibrated radiologists and periodontists. materials and methods: the alveolar ridge dimensions in selected cbct images were measured by two calibrated radiologists and two periodontists. intra and inter-examiner relia...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) alone compared to β-TCP and Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) in regenerating localized horizontal maxillary alveolar ridge deficiencies prior to implant placement. STUDY DESIGN The study included 20 patients with horizontal maxillary ridge deficiencies limited to one or more neighbouring teeth and initial ridge width...

Introduction: Orofacial clefts are the most common craniofacial birth defects, affecting a significant number of individuals worldwide. The alveolar cleft is developmental defect that affects process maxilla and often associated with lip palate. Methods: In this case report, we present 20-year-old female patient who underwent secondary reconstruction using autologous iliac bone grafting. aim pr...

: The bone split procedure is a unique technique used to increase the width of narrow ridge for possible simultaneous implant placement. We would present case horizontal augmentation in this article, using an alveolar expansion approach and In report, we have described immediate placement 40-year-old male patient with missing teeth maxillary anterior tooth region who reported us treatment A suc...

The alveolar process is the part of the maxilla and the mandible that house and support the alveoli of the teeth. It develops in conjunction with the development and eruption of the teeth, over the basal bone and coronal to it. The alveolar process consists of an outer layer of cortical bone, an inner cancellous bone, and a special layer alveolar bone proper which together with the root, cement...

Background: Due to the known disadvantages of autologous bone grafting, tissue engineering approaches have become an attractive method for ridge augmentation in dentistry. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study conducted to evaluate the potential therapeutic capacity of PRP-assisted hADSCs seeded on HA/TCP granules on regenerative healing response of canine alveolar surgical bone...

BACKGROUND In implant dentistry, bone substitute materials and barrier membranes are used in different treatments including guided bone regeneration (GBR), socket preservation, alveolar ridge augmentation, maxillary sinus elevation, and filling bony defects around the inserted dental implant. One of the most important factors in prognosis of treatments using these materials is the growth of new...

Careful treatment planning, space management, augmentation of bone and attention to the details of implant surgical and prosthetic techniques are important factors when treating anterior maxilla specially replacement of missing teeth. This case report addresses a chair-side ridge augmentation procedure using autograft bone harvested with trephine drills and placed without using screws and the f...

Adequate amount of alveolar bone is critical for achieving functional prosthetic rehabilitation with adequate aesthetics and biomechanical support. Several techniques have been developed for osseous reconstruction in atrophic upper and lower jaws. Ridge augmentation is an accepted successful method used in dental practice to increase bone volume in sites chosen for dental implant placement. Tit...
