Decoronation of ankylosed teeth in infraposition was introduced in 1984 by Malmgren and co-workers (1). This method is used all over the world today. It has been clinically shown that the procedure preserves the alveolar width and rebuilds lost vertical bone of the alveolar ridge in growing individuals. The biological explanation is that the decoronated root serves as a matrix for new bone deve...

conclusions hepatic alveolar hydatid cyst should be considered one of the important differential diagnoses of liver masses, especially in endemic areas of the world. results there were 24 published cases of liver-involved alveolar hydatid cyst from iran. the disease was more common in young- to middle-aged women in northeast iran. the most common presenting signs and symptoms were abdominal pai...

BACKGROUND The aim was to assess the alveolar ridge alteration around extraction sites with and without immediate implants according to extraction socket classification (ESC) using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten beagle dogs (mean age and weight: 24 ± 0.83 months and 13.8 ± 0.49 kg, respectively) were randomly divided into three groups according to the ESC. In Gr...

A precise radiographic evaluation of the local bone dimensions and morphology is important for preoperative planning of implant placement. The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze dimensions and morphology of edentulous sites in the posterior mandible using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. This retrospective radiographic study measured the bone width (BW) of the mandib...

AIM The aim of this report is to describe a significantly deficient case of alveolar bone that was managed by alveolar bone augmentation using a technique of distraction osteogensis and onlay bone grafting prior to dental implant placement. BACKGROUND Injury to the teeth and alveolar ridge of the maxillary anterior region can cause a severe alveolar ridge deficiency resulting in ridge atrophy...

Preoperative evaluation for the dental implanting normally starts with a thorough physical examination of the oral cavity and dental arches to determine the potential sites for the implant placement. Spiral dental CT plays a very important role in preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow up. It provides both 2 and 3-dimensional images, showing soft tissues and alveolar bone in each area...

1 a z t g r b t w t t b e v p eriodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics PAOO) is a clinical procedure that combines selecive alveolar corticotomy, particulate bone grafting, nd the application of orthodontic forces. This proedure is theoretically based on the bone healing attern known as the regional acceleratory phenomnon (RAP). PAOO results in an increase in alveolar one width, shorter t...

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...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To assess the effect of presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) therapy in the management of patients with nonsyndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). MATERIAL AND METHOD Ten patients with UCLP treated from 2009 to 2012. The initiation for PNAM treatment was 7 days and the average time of the treatment was 175 days. Measurements on patients and of casts were made,...
