Nonsurgical option to adress periodontal and peri-implant disease
Microorganisms play an important role in the development and progression of periodontal and peri-implant diseases. For these reasons there is an increasing interest in adjunctive therapies that…
Hyaluronic acid in mucogingival and periodontal surgery
Hyaluronic acid (HA) has recently been introduced in reconstructive periodontal soft tissue surgery due to its biologic properties, which favor periodontal wound healing and regeneration…
Papilla treatment with Hyaluronic Acid
During the last years treatment of papilla deficiencies using hyaluronic acid has become more and more frequent in the dental field. However, there are barely any standardized treatment concepts for its …
Minimally invasive management of implant-supported rehabilitation in the posterior maxilla (Part I). Sinus floor elevation: biologic principles and materials
Alveolar bone resorption and maxillary sinus pneumatization occurring after dental extraction in the posterior region of the maxilla may be problematic when planning implant-supported rehabilitation. Various regenerative options are available, including guided bone regeneration, bone block grafts, and lateral sinus augmentation. These procedures are associated…
Two-stage crestal sinus elevation by sequential drills in less than 4mm of residual ridge height: a clinical and histologic case report
Resorption and pneumatization of alveolar ridges are common oc- currences in the posterior max- illa after tooth extraction. These may cause not only a quantitative reduction but also a qualitative deterioration of bone leading to a skeletal segment inadequate for implant placement. In these situations, the residual vertical bone height…
Permanent wettability of a novel nanoengineered, clinically available, hyaluronan-coated dental implant
The objectives of this study are to evaluate long‐term wettability of novel surface‐ engineered, clinically available dental implants, featuring a surface nanolayer of cova- lently linked hyaluronan, and to confirm the relationships between wetting properties and surface nanostructure and microstructure. Wettability measurements were per- formed on…
Soft tissue enhancement and implant placement following partial mandibulectomy due to squamous cell carcinoma
Many dental procedures allow for implant placement in partially or totally edentulous patients. Despite the availability of various implant and abutment types on the market, it often becomes quite challenging to achieve the biological and esthetic goals in a patient who has ridge deficiencies. Problems arise from the lack of adequate bone quality and quantity…
