Introduction: Maxillary sinuses are among the largest paranasal sinuses with various shapes and volumes. The dimensions and volumes of maxillary sinuses play an important role in the surgical treatment plan. The higher levels of pneumatization of alveolar bone lead to the increase of odontogenic sinusitis which cause problems in dental implantation. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate...

Introduction Because of ageing and loss of teeth, alveolar bone volume has a tendency to decrease, contrary to basal bone volume which seems to have no significant modification. The practician will have, if possible, to intervene before bone anomaly installation by intercepting bone resorption. (1) Bone volume diminution in posterior maxillary alveolar ridge is a combination of several simultan...

Alveolar bone grafting is an integral part of the surgical management of oral clefts. The rationale behind alveolar cleft repair includes maxillary arch stabilization, closure of the oronasal fistula, nasal base support, nasolabial soft tissue reconstruction, and creation of bony support for tooth eruption or dental implant placement. Currently, the graft material of choice is autogenous bone g...

In this study, the relationships between the lower face height and the structure of the frontal alveolar and basal bone were investigated. The areas and the dimensions of the anterior alveolar and basal midsagittal cross-sectional bone from the maxilla and the mandible were recorded on lateral cephalograms from 460 untreated adults. An index was calculated dividing the sagittal by the vertical ...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the alveolar bone dimensions and arch perimeter discrepancy in unilateral palatally impacted canines. METHODS This retrospective split-mouth study reviewed 207 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of patients with unilateral or bilateral impacted canines referred for orthodontic treatment. Out of 207 CBCT scans, only 39 scans in whi...

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of abnormal alveolar bone in children and adolescents. Radiographs of 1026 patients were classified as showing negative, questionable, or positive evidence of abnormal alveolar bone resorption, based on criteria that included the distance between the cementoenamel junction to the alveolar bone and the integrity of the alveolar crest. App...

This report describes treatment of a patient using vertical alveolar ridge augmentation performed prior to transposition of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). A preoperative computerized tomographic (CT) scan revealed 2 to 3 mm of bone above the canal in the left mandibular molar region. An autogenous bone graft harvested from the chin area was utilized along with a titanium mesh for vertical a...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of local administration of odanacatib (ODN) on orthodontic root resorption and the status of alveolar bone metabolism in rat molars. All specimens were scanned using microcomputed tomography and then the raw images were reconstructed. The total volume of the root resorption craters of the 60 g-NS (normal saline) group was higher than in the 60...

OBJECTIVE In the last decade, several investigators have reported that standard length implants (SLIs) have achieved excellent results but no report regarding SLIs (i.e. SLI, length=13 mm) inserted into alveolar bone sites previously augmented with frozen bone (FB) is available. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of SLIs inserted into alveolar bone sites previously augme...

osteomyelitis of the jaws following dental treatment is a rare condition which usually occurs in immuno-compromised patients both locally and generally. a case is presented with the alveolar bone necrosis resulting from leakage of an arsenical devitalizing paste into the periodontium. the treatment procedures and the outcomes are discussed in this article.
