Ridge augmentation for immediate postextraction implants: eight year retrospective study.

Implant placement immediately after tooth extraction has become a well accepted treatment modality. It is used to replace either a single tooth or several teeth in an edentulous ridge. Various augmentation materials are used to build up the edentulous ridge, to maintain it, and to prevent resorption upon extraction. The learning objective of this paper is to present an 8-year retrospective study of 55 screw-type implant placement in 40 patients, using an alloplast (mixed with autogenous blood) as the augmentation material. The paper reviews the progress of implant technology and describes the method and materials used in this particular study. Four cases are used to illustrate the simultaneous implantation and ridge augmentation procedure.

Replacement therapy.

HTR Synthetic Bone's user friendly properties include: Hydrophilicity: holds clot and prevents its breakdown. Negative electric charge: adheres to bone and implant. Doesn't seem to get infected: less than one percent. Can graft to its surface: antibiotics or bone growth proteins for a slow timely release into adjacent areas. Does not require a barrier membrane with its use. Regenerating bone adheres to and is in direct contact with the HTR material. Has ability to attract the immature mesenchymal cell of the marrow that differentiate to osteoblasts: it is more than filler. Results in regeneration of bone three to four times as dense as bone regenerated by a barrier membrane/or as found in most normal dental alveolus.

Correction of maxillofacial deformities in a patient with partial lipodystrophy syndrome.

A case of partial lipodystrophy syndrome has been presented. The problems peculiar to this patient have been discussed, and the literature pertinent to the syndrome has been reviewed. The procedures required for the correction of the patient's facial disharmonies are described, as well as the postoperative airway problems which developed. Staging of the procedures was thought to be necessary in view of the extensiveness of the planned surgery and the patient's complex metabolic derangements.

Adolescent

Fetal alcohol syndrome.

A case of fetal alcohol syndrome in an 8-month-old infant is presented. Several of the maxillofacial anomalies associated with this syndrome were present. In addition, a large dentigerous cyst was found, a rare lesion occurring with a deciduous tooth and never before reported in association with fetal alcohol syndrome.
