Introduction At present, the treatment of osteoporotic defects poses a great challenge to clinicians, owing to the lower regeneration capacity of the osteoporotic bone as compared with the normal bone. The guided bone regeneration (GBR) technology provides a promising strategy to cure osteoporotic defects using bioactive membranes. The decellularized matrix from the small intestinal submucosa (...

Watkins, Lauren E. M.S.B.M.E., Purdue University, May 2016. Densified Collagen-Fibril Biomaterials for Bone Tissue Engineering. Major Professor: Sherry Voytik-Harbin. Millions of craniofacial bone defects occur annually as a result of trauma, congenital defects, disease, or tooth extraction1, 2. When present in the oral cavity, these defects are associated with adverse impacts on speech, mastic...

UNLABELLED Bone insufficiency remains a major challenge for bone-anchored implants. The combination of guided bone regeneration (GBR) and bone augmentation is an established procedure to restore the bone. However, a proper understanding of the interactions between the bone substitute and GBR membrane materials and the bone-healing environment is lacking. This study aimed to investigate the earl...

PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term outcome of a single-step ridge expansion osteotome procedure and implant placement combined with guided bone regeneration in patients presenting narrow maxillary alveolar ridges. MATERIALS AND METHODS During the period 1999 to 2010, 41 patients aged 19 to 77 years (18 males; 23 females) suffering from partial or full edentulism associated with horizontal reso...
