Alveolar bone regeneration is a significant challenge in dental implantation. Novel biomaterials and tissue-engineered constructs are under extensive development and awaiting in vivo animal tests to find clinical endpoint. Here, we establish a novel in vivo model, modifying gingivoperiosteoplasty in rat for the alveolar bone regeneration. Rat premaxillary bone defects were filled with silk scaf...

statement of the problem in recent decades, immediate implant placement has been proposed to eliminate undesirable consequences of conventional methods of delayed placement. in addition, because of the nature of this treatment method, a higher risk of complications such as infection and also higher failures rates may be expected purpose the aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of ...

OBJECTIVES To systematically review the influence of systemic diseases or medications used in their treatment on the dental implant therapy success. MATERIAL AND METHODS The search strategy was implemented on the National Library of Medicine database (MEDLINE) (Ovid) and EMBASE electronic databases between January 2006 and January 2016. Human studies with available English articles analysing ...

Physical disfigurement and functional impairments associated with facial trauma are a challenge to a prosthodontist, because even novel sophisticated surgical reconstructive techniques fail to provide adequate support for dental resection prosthesis. Therefore, different endosseous implants are often used as prosthesis-supporting elements. Manufacturers of dental implants have recently presente...

The purpose of this study was to investigate digital subtraction technique in digital dental imaging for implant performance, used to quantitatively evaluate bone change around dental implants. For longitudinal assessment of peri-implant bone change, we applied subtraction technique to digital peri-apical radiographs using a digital dental imaging system in two cases at the upper canine and pre...

Despite dental implantation being a great success, one of the key issues facing it is a mismatch of mechanical properties between engineered and native biomaterials, which makes osseointegration and bone remodeling problematical. Functionally graded material (FGM) has been proposed as a potential upgrade to some conventional implant materials such as titanium for selection in prosthetic dentist...
