A simple procedure for minimizing adjustment of immediate complete denture: a clinical report.

This article describes fabrication of a clear surgical template that minimizes pressure caused by immediate complete dentures on a surgical area. The trimmed areas on the maxillary definitive stone cast were further trimmed on the duplicated stone cast for making the clear surgical template. The procedure provided proper seating of the immediate complete denture, comfort for the patient, and reduced postoperative soreness and denture adjustments.

Evaluation of minipigs as an animal model for alveolar distraction.

OBJECTIVE: Alveolar distraction osteogenesis is a relatively novel tissue regeneration technique that remains, in some respects, at an experimental stage. The selection of an experimental animal biomodel is not clearly defined, with reports in the reviewed literature on dogs, sheep, and monkeys. The present objective was to compare 2 experimental biomodels (dog and minipig) using an alveolar distraction protocol with a novel prototype distractor. STUDY DESIGN: Three beagle dogs and 3 Göttingen minipigs were evaluated, placing the distractor at the right hemimandible alveolar ridge after previous extraction of premolars. The radiological examination was carried out immediately after the distraction and at 2 weeks of consolidation. RESULTS: Satisfactory clinical and radiological results were obtained in 2 of 3 beagle dogs after the previous unilateral extraction of mandibular and maxillary premolars. During the consolidation, a height gain of approximately 5 mm was observed, with the appearance of radiodense bone trabeculae in the distraction chamber. The distraction failed in all of the minipigs. CONCLUSION: The minipig was not an appropriate biomodel for the study of alveolar distraction because the investigators were not able to maintain the seal of the distraction chamber or the stability of the distractor.

Long-term radiographic assessment of secondary alveolar bone grafting outcomes in patients with alveolar clefts.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the outcomes of secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) in patients with complete, unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) operated on before eruption of the permanent canine. STUDY DESIGN: Sixty-five periapical radiographs from 41 patients with left UCLP and 24 with right UCLP (9 to 12 years old at SABG), were analyzed retrospectively for the amount of bone in the cleft site according to the Bergland and Chelsea scales, and for the occurrence of canine eruption (CE) through the neoformed bone. RESULTS: Of the cases, 71% were classified as Bergland type I and Chelsea type A; 15% as types II/C, and 14% could not be classified. CE was observed in 95% of the cases operated on 4 years before the study. CONCLUSIONS: SABG performed before CE is a procedure with a high rate of success. The radiographic scales proved to be important instruments for assessing surgical outcomes.

Surgically uprighting and grafting mandibular second molars.

A two-year follow-up was made of twenty-one impacted, mesially inclined mandibular molars which were surgically uprighted and splinted with autogenous bone grafts. There were two instances of follicular cysts in the adjacent impacted third molars and two instances of supereruption of uprighted teeth. With these exceptions, all uprightings were successful according to the criteria of continued root growth, normality of pulp chambers, normal periodontium, and normal contiguous structures.

Initiation of alveolar ridge augmentation in the rat mandible by subperiosteal implantation of octacalcium phosphate.

The study was designed to investigate the process of bone formation caused by implantation of octacalcium phosphate as well as stability of the bone formed at the alveolar ridge. Synthetic octacalcium phosphate was implanted into a subperiosteal pocket in the rat mandible. Bone formation at the alveolar ridge was examined radiographically and histologically between 1 and 48 week(s) after implantation. Radiopacity of the octacalcium phosphate implant became obvious in week 2. Osteogenesis was initiated from the bone surface near the implantation site and multinucleated giant cells appeared on the implanted octacalcium phosphate in week 1. More apposition of new bone was observed on the implanted octacalcium phosphate in week 2 or later. Some implants were directly enclosed by newly formed bone and no cellular component was seen between the implant and the bone matrix. Many octacalcium phosphate implants were enclosed by bone, whereas the augmented ridge was not seen radiographically in week 24 or later. If its persistence can be improved, octacalcium phosphate could be used to augment atrophic alveolar ridges.

Periodontal surgery as an aid to restoring fractured teeth.

The periodontal, orthodontic, and prosthetic management of four indications for subgingival or subosseous tooth fractures has been discussed. The importance of having the aveolar crest a minimal distance of 2.5 mm from the margin of the restoration has been explained. The pitfalls of an external, rather than internal, bevel and flap procedure were assessed. Coordinated interspecialty therapy provides diverse, conservative treatment for the general practitioner and successful restorations for the patient.

Changing concepts in periodontics.

This article has concentrated on aspects of periodontics where research over the last decade has demonstrated that old concepts are outmoded and for the patient's benefit should be changed in clinical practice. The following statements were made. Periodontal pockets do not need to be reduced surgically to a 3 mm limit to save teeth. Bone and soft tissues do not need to be sculptured to uniform horizontal atrophy at the level of the deepest pocket. Treated teeth can be maintained without loss of periodontal support with less than perfect plaque control if professional tooth cleaning every 3 months is practiced. Furcation involvement complicates the treatment of periodontitis, but such teeth have a better prognosis than has been commonly thought. Deep pockets have a relatively good prognosis after treatment. The problem is access for efficient root planing. Advanced periodontitis can be stopped in most patients. Gingival curettage does not improve the results of scaling and root planing. Support for teeth can be maintained without attached gingiva. Gingival blanching in response to lip pull is meaningless. Splinting is not needed for most teeth with increased mobility after periodontal therapy. It was acknowledged that in other controversial aspects of periodontics scientific information still is not available to support firm concepts that may guide clinical practice. One problem in dentistry is the lag that often exists between the publication of research findings and their application in clinical practice if there is no inherent economic reward in the new procedure.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Surgical templates for immediate denture insertion.

Criteria for an ideal surgical template for immediate dentures were presented. Laboratory and clinical studies were made of five types of templates. The Biostarformed template with improvements, followed by the sprinkled acrylic resin template, best fit the established criteria (Table I).

Preimplant surgery of the bony tissues.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The rationale of preimplant surgery is the creation of an environment that is favorable to the function and long-term survival of endosseous dental implants. Indications for this type of surgery depend on anatomic conditions, implant type, and design of the superstructure. One essential requirement for successful implantation is the presence of sufficient bone in which the implants are placed. Besides the quantity of bone, the quality of bone and the intermaxillary relation play an important role. PURPOSE: This article presents an overview of several techniques for specific implant conditions.
