Particularly in the premaxillary area, the stability of hard and soft tissues plays a pivotal role in the success of the rehabilitation from both a functional and aesthetic aspect. The present case report describes the clinical management of a localized alveolar ridge atrophy in the area of the upper right canine associated with a thin gingival biotype with a lack of keratinized tissue. An auto...

Many bone grafting techniques have been used to reconstruct the partially dentate and edentulous mandible. This article discusses the various bone grafting techniques to reconstruct mandibular defects. Also included are issues such as whether autogenous bone is necessary for reconstruction of the mandibular ridge and the importance of membranes.

An animal study is presented, evaluating a method of mandibular reconstruction using a poly(D,Llactide) (PDLLA) scaffold. Six goats underwent a continuity resection of the mandibular angle. The defect was bridged with a preshaped PDLLA scaffold, filled with an autogenous particulate bone graft from the anterior iliac crest, and fixed with two preshaped titanium plates. To accelerate bone healin...

When hard tissue augmentation is scheduled as a part of an oral rehabilitation, prior to the treatment, it is important to assess if the quality of the underlying gingiva at the recipient site can support the bone grafting procedure. The most frequent complication during autologous onlay grafts are wound dehiscences in the recipient site, so the integrity of soft tissues is a basic aspect of su...

INTRODUCTION: Prior research has examined complex methods of biologic augmentation during rotator cuff repair, including tendon transplants and extracellular matrix grafts. Our proposed procedure utilizes local autogenous bone marrow delivered to the repair site via a cannulated humeral implant. Such marrow delivery channels could be developed for suture anchors and other surgical hardware and ...

For oral rehabilitation with implant-supported prostheses, there are required procedures to create the bone volume needed for installation of the implants. Thus, bone grafts from intraoral or extraoral donor sites represent a very favorable opportunity. This study aimed to review the literature on the subject, seeking to discuss parameters for the indications, advantages and complications of te...

Densely packed autogenous cancellous bone was stabilized in a sinus lift procedure with cortical canceilous struts. These struts LVere placed above the cancel[ous bone and rigidly fixed to the buttress and anterior sinus wall with titanium screws. This technique enables the clinician to maintain and stabilize bone graft materials in sinus lift procedures. (ORAL SUKC KAL MELI t&AL PATHO 1994;78:...

We developed a novel bone grafting material that incorporates autogenous teeth (AutoBT), and provided the basis for its clinical application. AutoBT contains organic and inorganic mineral components and is prepared from autogenous grafting material, thus eliminating the risk of an immune reaction that may lead to rejection. AutoBT was used at the time of implant placement, simultaneously with o...

INTRODUCTION The rationale for operative treatment of depressed tibial plateau fractures is anatomic reduction, stable fixation and grafting. Grafting options include autogenous bone graft or bone substitutes. METHODS The autograft group included 18 patients with depressed tibial plateau fractures treated with autogenous bone grafting from the ipsilateral femoral condyle following open reduct...
