objective: low quality of the bone and insufficient bone due to the size of the sinus and resorption of the alveolar ridge decrease the long-term survival of implants in the posterior maxilla compared to other regions of the jaws. surgical procedures to increase bone volume make it possible to place implants longer than 8 mm. in this situation sinus elevation makes it possible to place implants...

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) has been described as a condition that characteristically affects the jaws of middle-aged black women. It usually exhibits as multiple radiopaque cemetum-like masses distributed throughout the jaws. Radiographically, FCOD appears as dense, lobulated masses, often symmetrically located in various regions of the jaws. Computed tomography, because of its abi...

We have developed JaWS, a Javabased web computing system, which enables users to effortlessly export their machines in a global market of processing capacity to host remote computations [6]. Leases are used to promote dynamic task placement as well as fair compensation for the host providers. ...

The aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) rarely occurs in the jaws. It represents approximately 1.5% of all non-odontogenic and non-epithelial cysts of the jaws. The literature contains conflicting reports on the clinical and radiological features of ABC of the jaws. The radiographic appearance of ABC varies from a unicystic radiolucency or moth-eaten radiolucency to an extensive multilocular lesion. In ...

Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease with an increasing prevalence in the elderly population. There is conflicting opinion about whether osteoporosis affects the alveolar bone of the jaws and whether it poses a risk to the osseointegration of dental implants. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of systemic glucocorticoid administration on the jaw bone density of minipigs...

BACKGROUND Immediate implant function is a psychological benefit for the patient and makes a substantial reduction in treatment cost possible. Currently, immediate function using Brånemark implants has become an accepted alternative for complete-arch fixed restorations in mandibles and for overdenture support for some other screw-shaped implants. Clinical documentation is lacking for other appl...
