Adverse effects associated with the use of bisphosphonates are infrequent and consist of pyrexia, renal function impairment, and hypocalcemia. Bisphosphonates-associated osteonecrosis of the jaws is an uncommon but potentially serious complication of intravenous bisphosphonate therapy in cancer patients. The degree of risk for osteonecrosis in patients taking oral bisphosphonates, such as alend...

PURPOSE The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the success of Brånemark System TiUnite implants (Nobel Biocare/Sweden) placed in partially or completely edentulous jaws restored with fixed or removable prostheses. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 131 jaws from 110 patients (64 maxillae and 67 mandibles) received 472 implants from July 2003 until March 2008. The patients inclu...

The children were undergoing inpatient treatment in the maxillofacial surgery department IMSP Children’s Clinical Hospital „E. Cotsaga”. observations on 119 odontogenic cysts jaws served as material this work. years and 85 hospitalized In diagnosis jaws, traditional research methods used: examination, palpation, radiogr...

Orthognathic surgery is performed to realign the jaws of a patient through several osteotomies. The state-of-the-art bone plates used maintain fragments in place are made titanium. presence these non-degradable can have unwanted side effects on long term (e.g. higher infection risk) if they not removed. Using biodegradable material such as magnesium may be possible solution this problem. Howeve...

Abstract Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaws is most dangerous long-term side effect head and neck radiation therapy that can significantly affect quality life patients. In ORN jaw, bone within field becomes devitalized gets exposed via overlying skin or mucosa, which remains unhealed. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT) used as an adjunctive along with surgical debridement for management jaws. HBOT prom...

Clinical studies have indicated the possibility of osseointegration following one-stage surgery and immediate loading of titanium implants in edentulous jaws. However, there is little long-term data comparing this method to the conventional two-stage technique. Based on these observations the objective of the present study was to describe the biology of osseointegration and the scientific backg...

The severely atrophy of jaws often complicates ideally oral reconstruction of esthetics and functionality, and necessitates different preprosthetic surgeries including bone grafting, ortho-surgery, and implant insertion. The mentioned procedures could be done within different approaches. This report describes the management of an edentulous case by implant insertion before orthognathic correction.
