BACKGROUND Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a widely used procedure for augmenting alveolar ridge width prior to placement of endosseous implants. Various graft materials and barrier membranes (non-resorbable and bioabsorbable) have been used in GBR. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of a new bioabsorbable, synthetic polyglycolic acid/trimethylene carbonate (PGA/TMC) barrier ...

Two antiviral compounds, (S)-1-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)cytosine (HPMPC) and 9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)guanine (DHPG), were evaluated for their effects on rat cytomegalovirus (RCMV)-induced interstitial pneumonitis after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMTx). Eight-week-old Brown Norway rats immunosuppressed by a lethal dose of total body irradiation were inoculated w...

The primary goal of the dental surgeon is to restore function as well as esthetics, and these objectives influence both the surgical and restorative phases of treatment. This report presents a conservative management of congenitally missing bilateral maxillary lateral incisors that was treated with a multidisciplinary approach between an orthodontist and a prosthodontist to redistribute spaces ...

the platform switching (pls) concept was introduced in the literature in 2005. the biological benefits and clinical effectiveness of the pls technique have been established by several studies. in this article different aspects of pls concept are discussed. crestal bone loss, biologic width, and stress distribution in this concept are comprehensively reviewed. in this article the relative publis...

PURPOSE Direct intraoral scanning and superimposing methods have recently been applied to measure the dimensions of periodontal tissues. The aim this study was analyze various correlations between labial gingival thickness underlying alveolar bone thickness, as well clinical parameters among 3 tooth types (central incisors, lateral canines) using a digital method. METHODS In 20 periodontally he...

background diagnosis and accuracy in determining the exact location, extent and configuration of bony defects of the jaw are of utmost importance to determine prognosis, treatment planning and long-term preservation of teeth. if relatively accurate diagnosis can be established by radiography, proper treatment planning prior to treatment procedures will be possible. objectives the aim of the pre...

: The bone split procedure is a unique technique used to increase the width of narrow ridge for possible simultaneous implant placement. We would present case horizontal augmentation in this article, using an alveolar expansion approach and In report, we have described immediate placement 40-year-old male patient with missing teeth maxillary anterior tooth region who reported us treatment A suc...

OBJECTIVES Localization of the mandibular canal (MC) and measurement of the height and width of the available alveolar bone at the proposed implant site in the posterior segment of the mandible using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in patients with a single missing tooth. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed where CBCT scans of the patients with a single missing to...
