The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two bone substitute materials for socket preservation after tooth extraction. Extraction sockets in 10 patients were filled with either inorganic bovine bone material (Bio-Oss) or with synthetic material consisting of hydroxyapatite and silicon dioxide (NanoBone). Extraction sockets without...

Background and aim: Dental implant patients are frequently required to undergo a second-stage/uncovery procedure to expose the implant fixture. The aim of the present prospective study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the vestibular split rolling flap (VSRF) versus the double door mucoperiosteal flap (DDMF) techniques at adjacent posterior...

Dental authors have considered the accidental perforation of Schneider's membrane the most seri- ous complication of external sinus floor elevation. A sinus lift procedure with concurrent immediate implant placement (single-step procedure) has been judged equally risky in advanced atrophy of the alveolar ridge (categories SA3 and SA4 according to M...

Xenogeneic-derived biomaterials are among the most routinely employed bone substitutes for immediate grafting of extraction sites as a modality of alveolar ridge preservation (ARP). The deproteinized bovine bone material is an example of which is widely used and documented by many around the world. The present pilot clinical trial aimed at evaluati...

Aim: The aim of the present retrospective case series was to longitudinally assess soft tissue volume changes on the vestibular aspect of implants in relation to keratinized mucosa thickness (KMT) and width (KMW) after the application of the microsurgical envelope technique combined with a connective tissue graft (CTG). Materials and methods: A...

Technical advances in such fields as optical magnification (eg, loupes, microscopes), microsurgical instruments, bone and soft-tissue grafting materials, and digital dentistry have paved the way for dentists to be able to provide all the necessary specialties for a state-of-art single-tooth replacement treatment under one roof in their clinics, wit...

Vertical and horizontal reconstruction of the alveolar ridge, especially in the anterior maxilla, is considered a clinical challenge for dentists. There is still a lack of a standard technique to address the hurdles in 3-dimensional bone regeneration in the anterior maxilla. In this clinical feasibility study, we aimed to modify Khoury’s technique...

Objecive: The peri-implant soft tissue phenotype plays a role in the long-term success of dental implants, thus, creating the need for the application of different techniques for the management of its adjacent soft tissues. The aim of this case series was to describe and evaluate the clinical outcomes of the microsurgical roll-in-envelope flap (RI...

Minimally invasive procedures are ubiquitous in medicine and now show an increased presence in invasive disciplines of dentistry. In implantology, this requires three-dimensional diagnostics, microsurgical instruments and suture materials, and especially optical magnification with axially aligned illumination. The operating microscope (OPMI) combi...

Minimally invasive procedures are ubiquitous in medicine. They will also make an increasing mark in invasive disciplines of dentistry in the future. Therefore in implantology three-dimensional diagnostics, microsurgical instruments and suture materials, but especially optical magnifi cation with axially aligned illumination are required. The opera...

The healing process of the extraction socket results in a three-dimensional loss of volume of the alveolar ridge accompanied by crestolingual displacement of the mu-cogingival line. Combined hard and soft tissue resorptions of this kind can sometimes prevent the insertion of an implant in the prosthetically correct position without additional aug-m...

Tooth extraction is associated with loss of the alveolar bone and surrounding keratinised gingiva. The author illustrates a treatment protocol for the maximum and most predictable preservation outcome

Operating on fine anatomical structures without using optical magnification is simply unthinkable ever since the development of the surgical microscope by Dr Littmann and Prof Wullstein in 1953. The combined use of the dental microscope and micro-instrumentation provides the basis for microsurgical approaches in dentistry (Velvart 1997). E...

Die membrangeschuetzte Knochenregeneration fuehrt zur Erweiterung der Indikation enossaler Implantate bei Alveolarfortsatzdefekten. Bei bislang eingesetzten Membranen wird eine barrierefunktion ueber einen Zeitraum von etwa 4 Monaten angestrebt. In dieser Zeit koennen vorzeitige Expositionen und bakterielle Infektionen der poroesen membran auftrete...
