OBJECTIVES This study sought to elucidate the effect of autogenous tooth bone material by experimenting on minipig's maxillary sinus and performing histological and histomorphometric analyses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five 18-24 month-old male minipigs were selected, and right maxillary sinuses were grafted with bone graft material made of their respective autogenous teeth extracted eight weeks ...

the anterior maxilla presents a challenging milieu interior for ideal placement of implants because of the compromised bone quality. with the advent of intraoral bone harvesting and augmentation techniques, immediate implant placement into fresh extraction sockets have become more predictable. immediate implant placement has numerous advantages compared to the delayed procedure including superi...

conclusions alendronate may be considered a therapeutic option for improving the bone formation process and reducing resorption in different bone grafting procedures. further detailed studies should focus on dosage and time-dependent effects of alendronate on bone remodeling. results at 6 weeks, the bone area was significantly larger in the xenograft-alendronate group (33.0% ± 5.0%) than in the...

INTRODUCTION Bone regeneration grafts (BRG) are widely used in the treatment of osseous defects and oral surgery. The various techniques and associated success rates of bone augmentation require evaluation by systematic review and meta-analysis of eligible studies. The aim of this systematic review was to compare alveolar bone regeneration in humans using Bio-Oss and autogenous bone graft. MA...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on autogenous bone graft remodeling during sinus augmentation in a rabbit model. MATERIALS Twelve New Zealand White rabbits were divided randomly into 3 groups based on their time of sacrifice (2, 4, and 8 weeks). All animals underwent a general anesthetic and harvesting of an autogenous bone graft from the right iliac crest with su...

PURPOSE This study was designed to clinically and histologically evaluate the integration of titanium implants in different grafting materials used for maxillary sinus augmentation procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 21 patients and 36 maxillary sinuses were augmented with (1) autogenous particulated bone from the mandibular ramus, (2) bovine hydroxyapatite (BH) with membrane coverag...

PURPOSE Implant placement in the posterior maxilla may often be contraindicated because of insufficient bone volume and the presence of the maxillary sinus. In these situations, sinus floor lifting and grafting frequently have been proposed as the best treatment. The aim of this study was to compare histologically the use of 100% autogenous bone versus a combination of autogenous bone and corti...

PURPOSE Lack of bone height in the posterior maxilla often necessitates augmentation prior to or simultaneously with dental implant placement. The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the use of the natural bone mineral Bio-Oss alone or in combination with autogenous bone in sinus floor elevations performed as 1- or 2-step procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-eight patients requ...

The understanding of bone repair phenomena is a fundamental part of dentistry and maxillofacial surgery. Objective The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of buried magnetic field stimulation on bone repair in rat calvaria after reconstruction with autogenous bone grafts, synthetic powdered hydroxyapatite, or allogeneic cartilage grafts, with or without exposure to magnetic stimulatio...

This study was designed to compare bone mineral density, periosteal callus production, new bone formation, bone porosity, histologic appearance, and union of mid-diaphyseal segmental allografts of the femur stabilized with an interlocking nail technique in a canine model 6 months after the procedure. An in vivo study was performed to compare the effects of augmenting interlocking nail fixation ...
