Abstract: PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy of an alloplastic graft material, consisting of a pure-phase β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), in the preservation of ridge volume after tooth extraction and before dental implant placement. Histomorphometric analysis was completed on a few samples to determine the percentage of vital bone over a fixed healing period.

Background: Sinus augmentation with simultaneous implant placement without bone graft material is a hotly debated technique. This technique could be improved and secured by the use of an autologous leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) (Choukroun’s technique) concentrate. The objectives of this study were to assess the relevance of PRF clots and membranes as the sole filling material during a lateral sinus lift with immediate implantation using radiologic and histologic analyses in a case series.

Abstract: Patients present for extraction of teeth for numerous reasons. Whether teeth are being removed in preparation for orthodontic therapy, malposition or to eliminate dental disease, the sites require reconstruction. Many patients will have restorations placed over or adjacent to these areas of reconstructed bone. |
