Immediate loading: “All-on-Four” as predictable technique in edentulous patients.

AIM: The aim of the present study is to assess the possible success of an immediately loaded technique called “All on Four” in patients exhibiting complete and partial edentulism, the latter subjected to avulsions of residual teeth prior to implant placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present st...

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...

Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms Associate with Microbiogical Agents in Periodontal Disease: Our Experience

ABSTRACT Periodontics has evolved from a simplistic model to a more complex interplay between infection and host response. Genetic factors have been a new addition to the list of risk factors for periodontal diseases. The processes leading to destruction and regeneration of the destroyed tissues ...
