Minimally Invasive Implantology: Flapless Surgery

 

Authored by Nissaf Daouahi

Abstract

In conventional implant surgery, the elevation of a muco periosteal flap can facilitate implant placement by allowing the surgeon to visually assess bone quantity and morphology at the site. In cases with limited amount of bone, a flap elevation can help implant placement to reduce the risk of bone fenestrations or perforations over the past three decades there have been several alterations to this flap design in favor of flapless implant surgery which has gained popularity among surgeons. Recently, the Concept of flapless implant, where the implant is placed without reflecting a flap, has gained popularity among surgeons. It has been introduced for the patients with enough keratinized gingival tissue and bone volume in the implant recipient site and the size of the surgical field corresponds therefore to the implant diameter. As peri implant tissues management is a challenge, this procedure minimizes the possibility of postoperative peri-implant tissue loss. It has numerous advantages, including preservation of circulation, soft tissue architecture, and hard tissue volume at the site; decreased surgical time; improved patient comfort; and accelerated healing. It allows also the patient to resume normal oral hygiene procedures immediately after the surgery. A disadvantage of this technique is that the true topography of the underlying available bone cannot be observed, which may increase the risk for unwanted perforations. In addition, it can lead to esthetical problems or implant losses. Moreover, there is the potential for thermal damage secondary to reduced access for external irrigation during osteotomy preparation. The successful use of this approach often requires advanced clinical experience and surgical judgment.

            Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health The Effect of Pistacia Atlantica and Hypericum Perforatum as a Healing Accelerator Remedy on Induced Oral Mucositis in Male Golden Hamster- Juniper Publishers Authored by Nader Tanideh Abstract Oral mucositis is a painful condition that occurs as a side effect of chemotherapy. P. atlantica and H. perforatum have long been known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties as an alternative medicine. This study evaluated the healing effects of extraction of P. atlantica and H. perforatum, on 5-FU induced oral mucositis in golden hamsters by histopathology, clinically, and anti-oxidative assessments. Oral mucositis was induced in 60 male golden hamsters by administration of 5-FU (60mg/kg), on days 0, 5, and 10 of the study. Animals were randomly divided in 5 groups, (n=12). They were treated with hydro-alcoholic extract of H. perforatum (topical gel 10%) (Group 1), P. atlanti

Effective Use of Dental Implants and Prosthetics for Dental Missions: Clinical Case Presentations- Juniper Publishers

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DENTISTRY & ORAL HEALTH Effective Use of Dental Implants and Prosthetics for Dental Missions: Clinical Case Presentations Authored by Charles J Arcoria Abstract Dentists practicing in a mission setting have limited options for comprehensive treatment of patients because of the distance from the full resources available in conventional dental office setting. Because of the limited time aspect of team mission work, emergency extractions and limited operative treatment are typically performed. Inherently, the lack of follow-up care with extensive restorations and the need for proper maintenance, preclude many treatment modalities. As a result, this efficient but not simplistic model of mission dentistry is designed to deliver treatment that can be quickly accomplished with recurrent follow-up over a series of eight week time frames. These three clinical case presentations document the type of functional and esthetic tr

Several GTR materials and bone grafts have been attempted but showed variable success rates. Objective: The present randomized clinical and radiographic study was undertaken to compare the effectiveness of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) by using equine bioabsorbable collagen membrane with or without equine bone graft in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects affected by aggressive periodontitis. Materials and Methods: Ten systemically healthy patients with 20 periodontal intrabony defects were enrolled as a split mouth design. These de
