The cover image, by Ilja Mihatovic et al., is based on the Animal Experiment Periodontally diseased tooth roots used for lateral alveolar ridge augmentation. A proof-of-concept study, DOI: 10.1111/jcpe.12579.
Objectives
This study seeks to assess the bone tissue response at experimental zirconia implants in comparison with titanium implants by means of descriptive histology and histomorphometry in a dog model.
Materials and methods
Experimental zirconia implants with three different surface roughnesses (Z1 < Z2 < Z3) and conventional sandblasted large g...
Objectives:
To assess the efficacy of periodontally diseased tooth roots used as autografts for lateral ridge augmentation and two-stage early osseointegration of titanium implants.
Material & methods:
Ligature-induced periodontitis lesions were established at the maxillary premolars in n=8 foxhounds. Extracted, scaled and root planned premolar...
Objectives:
To assess biomechanical, micro-computed tomographic (micro CT) and immunohistochemical characteristics of early osseous integration at titanium implants placed following lateral ridge augmentation using autogenous extracted tooth roots.
Material & methods:
The roots of healthy maxillary premolars (PM) and retromolar cortical autogeno...
Objectives:
To histologically assess the association between the horizontal mucosal thickness (MT) at implant sites with the integrity and thickness of the buccal bone plate in a canine model.
Materials and methods:
Two-piece titanium implants were placed at chronic-type lateral ridge defects. The resulting vestibular dehiscence-type defects (ve...
Objectives:
To assess the efficacy of tooth roots used as autografts for lateral ridge augmentation and two-stage early osseointegration of titanium implants.
Material & methods:
The maxillary premolars were randomly assigned to either endondontic therapy (PM-E) or were left untreated (PM-C). Retromolar cortical autogenous bone (AB) blocks serve...
Objectives
To evaluate the impact of plaque accumulation on osseointegration at surface enhanced modified hydrophilic titanium–zirconium (TiZr) alloy and titanium (Ti) implants.Materials and methodsTiZr and Ti implants with a sand-blasted, acid etched, and chemically modified endosseous and a machined (M) transmucosal portion were bilaterally (i.e....
This study seeks to assess and compare immunohistochemical characteristics of regenerated and pristine bone areas following surgical therapy of advanced peri-implantitis.
At ligature-induced peri-implantitis defects, the intrabony component was filled with a natural bone mineral (NBM), and the supracrestal component was treated by either an equine...
Aim:
The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of proangiogenic factors [erythropoetin (EPO), human growth hormone (HGH), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF-BB)] on the organization and biodegradation of a porcine-derived collagen matrix (CM) in rats.
Material and methods:
Collagen matrix sp...
Objectives:
This study aimed to immunohistochemically evaluate staged guided bone regeneration and osseointegration of titanium implants using two bone graft substitutes in combination with a polyethylene glycol (PEG) membrane in a dog model.
Materials and methods:
Saddle-type alveolar ridge defects were prepared in the lower jaws of 12 foxhound...
Purpose:
This case illustrates a pulp tissue-induced dentointegration of a titanium implant.
Materials and methods:
One commercially available titanium implant with a sand-blasted and acid-etched surface was placed in the maxilla of a foxhound where the palatinal root of the previously (i.e., 8 weeks) removed first molar was unintentionally reta...
Objectives
The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of measuring bone thickness surrounding dental implants and the reliability of assessing existence and completion of osseous integration of augmentation material using a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) system.
Materials and methods
In jaws of foxhounds, artificial defects were regen...
To (i) investigate the influence of different extensions of a laser microgrooved abutment zone on connective tissue attachment and (ii) assess the impact of a repeated abutment dis-/reconnection on soft- and hard-tissue healing.
Titanium implants were inserted epicrestally in the lower jaws of six dogs. Healing abutments with either partially (LP)...
Objective:
To investigate whether resonance frequency analysis (RFA) is suitable to measure orthodontic mini-implant stability. Implant size significantly affects the level of resonance frequency. Regarding the operating mode of RFA, it has to be proven whether the resonance frequency of mini-implants in bone fits the range of frequency emitted by...
To assess the impact of abutment material and dis-/re-connection on soft and hard tissue changes at implants with platform-switching.
Titanium implants (n = 12), placed epicrestally in the upper jaws of three dogs, were connected with titanium (Ti) and zirconium dioxide (ZrO(2) ) abutments (horizontal mismatch of 0.4 mm) and randomly allocated in a...
Purpose
This is a pilot study which aims to evaluate the accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to assess the configuration and extent of ligature-induced peri-implantitis defects.
Materials and methods
Radiographic evaluation of advanced ligature-induced peri-implantitis defects (n = 9) in canine was performed using CBCT (central cross-s...
To evaluate radiological bone level (RBL) (i.e. cone-beam computed tomography) and histological bone levels (HBL) as well as re-osseointegration [bone-to-implant contact (BIC)] after surgical resective (i.e. implantoplasty) and/or regenerative therapy of advanced ligature-induced peri-implantitis in dogs.
At all defect sites (n=6 dogs, n=48 implant...
To assess the influence of two barrier membranes and two bone graft substitutes on staged guided bone regeneration and osseointegration of titanium implants in dogs.
Saddle-type defects were prepared in the lower jaws of 6 fox hounds and randomly filled with a natural bone mineral (NBM) and a biphasic calcium phosphate (SBC) and allocated to either...
Objectives: To assess the influence of two barrier membranes and two bone graft substitutes mixed with autogenous bone (AB) on staged guided bone regeneration and osseointegration of titanium implants in dogs. Materials and methods: Four saddle-type defects each were prepared in the upper jaw of six fox hounds and randomly filled with a natural bon...
To assess the influence of two barrier membranes and two bone graft substitutes mixed with autogenous bone (AB) on staged guided bone regeneration and osseointegration of titanium implants in dogs.
Four saddle-type defects each were prepared in the upper jaw of six fox hounds and randomly filled with a natural bone mineral (NBM)+AB and a biphasic c...
The aim of the present study was to investigate the pattern of biodegradation of different polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel/RGD-peptide modifications in rats.
Two different hydrogels were employed: (i) a combination of four-arm PEG-thiol, M(n)=2.3 kDa, and eight-arm PEG-acrylate, M(n)=2.3 kDa (PEG1); and (ii) a combination of four-arm PEG-thiol,...
