Stability and bone loss around submerged and non-submerged implants in diabetic and non-diabetic patients: a 7-year follow-up

Abstract To evaluate peri-implant bone loss (PIBL) and stability around submerged and non-submerged dental implants in patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Thirty-five T2DM and non-diabetic (NT2DM) patients were included in this study. Demographic data were recorded using a question...

Short implants versus longer implants with maxillary sinus lift. A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract This study compared the survival rate of dental implants, amount of marginal bone loss, and rates of complications (biological and prosthetic) between short implants and long implants placed after maxillary sinus augmentation. This systematic review has been registered at PROSPERO under the numb...

Cytidine-phosphate-guanosine oligodeoxynucleotides in combination with CD40 ligand decrease periodontal inflammation and alveolar bone loss in a TLR9-independent manner

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Local administration of toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), agonist cytidine-phosphate-guanosine oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG ODNs), and CD40 ligand (CD40L) can decrease ligature-induced periodontal inflammation and bone loss in wild type (WT) mouse. Objective: This study aimed to explore whether such ef...

The role of potassium channels in the endothelial dysfunction induced by periodontitis

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Objective: Periodontitis is associated with endothelial dysfunction, which is clinically characterized by a reduction in endothelium-dependent relaxation. However, we have previously shown that impairment in endothelium-dependent relaxation is transient. Therefore, we evaluated which mediators ...

Bioactive glass added to autogenous bone graft in maxillary sinus augmentation: a prospective histomorphometric, immunohistochemical, and bone graft resorption assessment

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to compare the bone resorption rate, histomorphometry and immunohistochemical findings of bioactive glass (Biogran; Biomet, Warsaw, IN, USA) mixed with autogenous bone grafts (1:1) and autogenous bone graft isolate in maxillary sinus elevation surgery. Mater...

Treatment of endo-periodontal lesion using leukocyte-platelet-rich fibrin. A case report

Colomb. med; 48 (4), 2017
Abstract Case Description: The main objective of this paper was to report the clinical effectiveness of leukocyte- platelet- rich fibrin (L-PRF) in the treatment of a combined endo-periodontal lesion of an upper first premolar. Clinical Findings: The tooth had a profound abfraction on the vestibular ...

Dehiscences and fenestrations: methodological care necessary to avoid errors in diagnosis and measurement

ABSTRACT The low prevalence of gingival recessions observed in orthodontic clinical practice may be assigned to the fact that in studies in which dehiscences and bone fenestrations are described as frequent, they were diagnosed based on: 1) dry skull studies; 2) areas with periosteal reflection together ...

Agreement, correlation, and kinetics of the alveolar bone-loss measurement methodologies in a ligature-induced periodontitis animal model

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (5), 2017
Abstract Periodontal research involves the use of animal models to better understand the biological processes of periodontal diseases and the potential of new or existing therapies. Currently, ligature-induced periodontitis in rats is the main model used in periodontal research, in this model, alveolar b...

Periodontal and orthodontic approach in periodontally compromised adults

Saúde bucal é uma condição para prevenir muitas doenças. Cirurgia combinada com boa higiene bucal e o uso de forças ortodônticas leves para o tratamento de pacientes adultos, os quais apresentam história de doença periodontal pode prevenir perda dentária e disseminação da infecção. O objeti...

Benefícios educacionais das metanálises: “modelo fictício” de perda óssea peri-implantar e suas implicações clínicas
The educational benefits of meta-analyses: a "hypothetical model" on peri-implant bone loss and its clinical implications

ImplantNewsPerio; 2 (4), 2017
Objetivo: familiarizar o leitor com a metodologia estatística da metanálise e mostrar como ler e interpretar o forest plot nas decisões clínicas. Material e métodos: um conjunto fictício de dez estudos com acompanhamento de cinco anos, envolvendo perda óssea comparada para implantes rugosos e liso...
