Facets

Facets are the strong point of esthetic, less-invasive dentistry. They are extremely-thin prosthetic manufactures, such as Lumineers, which can be around 0,1 – 0,3mm thick and sacrifice little tissue of affected teeth. Therefore, they can soon solve those problems caused by dyschromia, fractures ...

Combined occlusal and pharmacological therapy in the treatment of temporo-mandibular disorders

The term myoarthropathy of the masticatory system refers to a large number of pathologic conditions affecting the masticatory musculature and/or the Temporo-Mandibular Articulation (TMA). The complexity of this subject matter can be guessed by the wide range of terms used over the years to point ...

Dental Arch3D Direct Detection System from the Patient’s Mouth and Robot for Implant Positioning

During the last years, three-dimensional scanning technologies have evolved rapidly. Several digitizing systems have been proposed which can be divided into two main categories: contact systems and non-contact systems. The contact systems digitize a surface by means of a mechanical digitizer, so ...

ATHROPHY OF THE UPPER JAWS: SINUS LIFT TECHNIQUE WITH HETEROLOGOUS BONE GRAFTS (Bio-Oss®) MIXED WITH PURE-PHASE BETA-TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE (SintOss) AND PLATELET RICH FIBRIN (PRF©)

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the regenerative capacity of PRF© with Bio-Oss® particulate heterologous bone grafts mixed with 50% of cortical and medullary grafts and 50% of pure-phase beta-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) and SintOss, compared with the use of Bio-Oss® mixed with 50...

USE OF PLATELET-RICH PLASMA IN IMPLANTOLOGY

AIM Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is blood plasma whose rationale is that platelets release different substances promoting tissue repair and affect the behavior of other cells and modulate inflammation and angiogenesis. Platelets, in fact, play a fundamental role in mediating the healing of damaged ...

CHRONIC SINUSITIS WITH SEVERELY ATROPHIC JAWS: NEW PERSPECTIVES IN IMPLANT-PROSTHETIC REHABILITATION with the use of Bio-Oss®/ Sint Oss and PRF®

AIM: The aim of the present study is to evaluate if sinus lift surgery can cause further complications or a clear worsening health in patients with clinical or radiological manifestations affecting the sinus. This study aims at verifying if, in cases of diagnosed alterations of normal sinus homeo...

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and determination of tunnel size and graft obliquity

OBJECTIVE: Increase in ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstructions has led to a higher prevalence of patients with postoperative symptoms which require investigation. We aimed to investigate the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computer tomography (CT) in determining tunnel s...
