Abstract

An important aspect of surgical diagnosis before implant placement is measurement of the width of the alveolar ridge. Besides the use of radiographic methods, alveolar crest width can be measured by ridge mapping. A ridge mapping technique using a specially designed caliper (Ultimapper) is presented. Results of a research investigation are presented, which suggest that the technique is reliable and easily performed.

Endodontic applications of guided tissue regeneration in endodontic surgery.

There are several possible causes of failure following nonsurgical and surgical endodontic treatments. Many of the causes of these failures can be attributed to the presence of endodontic-periodontic bone loss around roots. The development of guided-tissue regeneration (GTR) procedures in periodontal therapy has let to the successful treatment of some types of periodontal bone loss. These GTR procedures can be adapted for use in endodontic surgery to produce success in cases that previously presented a poor prognosis. this study categorizes all of the different clinical situations in which GTR procedures can be used to treat endodontically related bone loss. Case reports of several categories are presented.

Bone grafting with a calcium sulfate barrier after root amputation.

Two cases are presented in which unfavorable anatomic factors after ro ot amputation were treated with demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft and a calcium sulfate barrier. The success of these cases demonstrates the potential advantage of this regeneration procedure when there is advanced furcation bone destruction after root removal.
