A simplified technique for producing platelet-rich plasma and platelet concentrate for intraoral bone grafting techniques: a technical note.

A method to produce platelet-rich plasma and platelet concentrate using a double centrifuge technique in combination with the fibrin adhesive Tisseel is described. This technique constitutes the basic mixture for augmenting and improving an inadequate bone site. Also described is a procedure by which autologous bone or bone substitute is added to this mixture to increase the volume of grafting material. Platelet concentrates cause growth factors to be delivered to graft sites in an intense form, while Tisseel serves as a standardized, pharmaceutically manufactured fibrin adhesive.

The reverse-torque test: a clinical report.

Reverse torque to failure on implants has been studied in animals. Three implants were reverse torqued to failure in a human volunteer, with failure rates between 45 and 58 Ncm. Clinical data are presented on 404 implants examined after reverse-torque testing and loading, with no increase in failure rates. Reverse-torque testing at 20 Ncm appears to be a safe, reliable method for verifying osseointegration with pure titanium screw-shaped implants.
