Vertical alveolar ridge expansion and simultaneous implant placement in posterior maxilla using segmental osteotomy: report of two cases

The Journal of Oral Implantology

Abstract

Implant placement in vertically insufficient alveolar ridges of the posterior maxillae may require bone augmentation, such as sinus floor elevation, onlay grafting, and distraction osteogenesis. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the feasibility of vertical alveolar ridge expansion and simultaneous implant placement in the posterior maxilla using segmental osteotomy without sinus floor elevation, onlay grafting, and distraction osteogenesis. Two patients presenting with vertically insufficient alveolar ridges in the posterior maxillae were treated with the surgical procedure as follows. The edentulous ridge was split vertically using a segmental osteotomy before the preparation of an implant bed, and 1 implant body was placed simultaneously in the ridge with the vertical split. Three months later, abutments were connected and prosthetic loading of the implants was started. The follow-up was performed with the aid of dental and panoramic radiographs, evaluation of peri-implant probing depths, and Periotest values. In both patients, alveolar ridge expansion and implant placement were carried out without problems, good functional results were performed, and the clinical and radiologic findings were satisfactory. The outcome...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
