This paper presents three cases of peri-implant mucosal defects that were successfully treated with a newly proposed "pouch roll" implant soft tissue augmentation technique. This procedure uses a de-epithelialized connective tissue layer during the first or second stage of implant surgery over the underlying dental implant without the need for sutures. At 2 weeks, healing was remarkable, with e...

PURPOSE The aim of this clinical research on implant-supported restorations is to analyze, through spectrophotometric digital technology, the influence of the abutment material on the color of the peri-implant soft tissue. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty patients received an endosseous dental implant in the anterior maxilla. At the time of each definitive prosthesis delivery, an all-ceramic crown...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To assess the survival of full-thickness skin grafts and perichondrial cutaneous grafts when placed on subcutaneous soft tissue flaps used in nasal reconstruction. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case series from a secondary-care cutaneous cancer practice. METHODS Twenty-eight patients with nasal defects secondary to basal cell carcinoma excision were included. Clinical inf...

Purpose: To compare the post-extraction dimensional changes following extraction alone or extraction plus ridge preservation with an intrasocket mineralized freeze-dried bone allograft and a collagen membrane. 2 purpose is to determine whether there are significant differences between 2 procedures histologically.3 one is that a 4-monts and 6month implant placement time was evaluated to determin...

statement of the problem: most of the soft tissue calcifications within the head and neck region might not be accompanied by clinical symptoms but may indicate some pathological conditions. purpose: the aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of soft tissue calcifications in cone beam computed tomography (cbct) images of mandibular region. materials and method: in this cross sectio...

INTRODUCTION To obtain sufficient stability of implants, the thickness of the soft tissue and the cortical bone in the placement site must be considered. However, the literature contains few anatomical studies of orthodontic implants. METHODS To measure soft-tissue and cortical-bone thicknesses, maxillae from 23 Korean cadavers were decalcified, and buccopalatal cross-sectional specimens were...

Ten acetabular cups coated with hydroxyapatite (HA) had originally been inserted in five primary and five revision total hip replacements. The thickness of the HA was 155 +/- 35 microm. The cups, which were well-fixed, were retrieved, with their adherent tissue, at reoperation after 0.3 to 5.8 years because of infection (five hips), wear of polyethylene (three hips), and instability (two hips)....

BACKGROUND Burn injuries and post burn contractures of the little fingers and areas around are quite common. Release of these contractures may lead to full thickness soft tissue defects which need soft tissue cover. Similarly, mechanical trauma and also road traffic accidents, quite often lead to soft tissue defects of hand. Objective of this study was to evaluate the role of reverse ulnar para...
