Autogenous bone is still considered the gold standard in augmentation for implant insertion atrophic ridges. However, of multiple edentulous segments usually necessitates use extraoral donor sites. This chapter introduces Wedge Technique, as a new method that can augment ridges with intraoral cortical grafts. Patients moderate to severe ridge atrophy different regions jaws were treated wedge te...

The guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedure has been used successfully when there is insufficient bone volume for implant placement 1-3) . Bone graft materials are used in conjunction with barrier membranes to improve the outcomes of GBR procedures: they stabilize the blood clot, prevent membrane shrinkage and maintain the space available for new bone formation beneath the membrane 4-6) . Auto...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical relevance of autogenous fresh demineralized tooth (Auto-FDT) prepared at chairside immediately after extraction for socket preservation. Teeth were processed to graft materials in block, chip, or powder types immediately after extraction. Extraction sockets were filled with these materials and dental implants were installed immediately or after...

Implant surgeon should take advantage of advances in instrumentation and grafting biomaterials to augment the defi cient ridges. Biotechnology has greatly improved our ability to predict and reconstruct osseous defects. In addition to present specifi c bone grafting techniques used to restore hard tissue volume defects at the sites, the volume of augmentation defi nes the procedure. Signifi can...

Healing of hard and soft tissue is mediated by a complex array of intracellular and extracellular events that are regulated by signaling proteins, a process that is, at present, incompletely understood. What is certain, however, is that platelets play a prominent if not deciding role. Controlled animal studies of soft and hard tissues have suggested that the application of autogenous platelet-r...

This paper investigates the autogenous self-healing capability of conventional concrete (C30/37) mixtures with water encapsulated in sepiolite. Sepiolite was added two conditions: previously saturated and dry, at a dosage 5% by cement weight. is substitution for sand fraction. For these mixes reference mix without sepiolite, disks size f100x50 mm were produced pre-cracked 28 days age splitting ...

The self-healing of strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCCs) causes the recovery debonded fiber-to-matrix interface by products autogenous healing (mainly calcium carbonates). chemical bond G d has been detected in reactive magnesia cement (RMC)-based SHCC (SHMC), and frictional τ 0 both SHMCs normal SHCCs. While these phenomena can significantly alter fiber-bridging σ-w relationship SH...

PURPOSE Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is potentially useful as an adjunct to allograft and xenograft materials in oral and maxillofacial bone and implant reconstructive surgery. This study compares bone healing and formation in 4 cranial defects in rabbits grafted with autogenous bone, xenograft, and xenograft with PRP (with a no-graft group as a control). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen New Zeala...

Introduction:The use of autogenous concentrated blood products, particularly platelets, has become increasingly widespread as an effective clinical tool to accelerate wound healing. Upon activation, platelets release cytokines (i.e PDGF and TGFß1) and platelet membrane particles (PMP). Major obstacles to understanding the mechanisms of these clinical successes lie in the many different clinical...

The increasing awareness of climate change and global warming has pushed industries to be more conscious their environmental impact, especially in the construction industry with main contributor being concrete. Concrete is a material that very high demand for structural applications. However, it’s major concern challenges microcracking. New technology seen development self-healing material, usi...
