(2022-04-25)Digital implant dentistry and dental applications of in-office 3D printing are rapidly becoming more prevalent in everyday practice. The way implant surgical guides are fabricated and fit in the mouth directly impact implant ...
-
(2014-04-14)Human multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) produce TNF-α-stimulated gene/ protein 6 (TSG-6). TSG-6, a hyluronan (HA)-binding protein, has been associated with the negative regulation of inflammatory tissue ...
-
(2016-04-05)Background: There is controversy in regards to whether occlusion plays a role in the peri-implant condition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between occlusion and peri-implant condition around single-unit ...
-
(2022-04-21)Open contacts causing food impaction are thought to be a contributing factor to localized periodontal destruction. The extent that interproximal open contacts and the dimensions of the open contact contribute to periodontal ...
-
(2014-04-28)This cross-sectional study examined potential differences in concentration of Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) in serum and citric acid-stimulated saliva from patients with Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS) and healthy age-, sex-, and ...
-
(2014-05-01)Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is an auto-immune (AI) mediated destruction of the major and minor salivary glands, and is the second most common AI disease in the United States. Typical treatment palliative in nature and no ...
-
(2020-04-03)Purpose of the Research: Loss of teeth is commonly associated with a loss of the alveolar bone surrounding the functional tooth, resulting in an undesirably narrow bone ridge for subsequent implant placement. In our quest ...
-
(2018-04-17)Introduction: Recent studies suggest the potential role that foreign bodies play in the pathogenesis of implant failure. The aims of this investigation are: (1) to evaluate the presence of foreign bodies in proximity to ...
-
(2021-04-26)Objectives: To identify a cost-effective and well-defined alternative to currently available enamel matrix derivatives for periodontal regeneration. Methods and Materials: For in vitro studies, human periodontal ligament ...
-
(2018-05-09)In 1952 Per-Ingvar Brånemark discovered the potential of titanium’s ability to bond to bone. In 1977 he introduced the concept of the titanium dental implant. Since Dr. Brånemark’s discovery the titanium dental implant has ...
-
(2016-01-20)The aim of the current prospective, outcomes-based case series was to evaluate the potential of videoscope-assisted minimally invasive surgery (V-MIS) in the regenerative treatment of maxillary and mandibular molars with ...
-
(2020-03-25)Background: Bone grafting materials are commonly used in dentistry for a variety of surgical procedures and new materials are regularly being developed. Evaluation of these newly developed materials has been done in animal ...
-
(2023-05-10)Introduction: The use of osseodensification drills to increase implant stability, and expand edentulous ridges is now considered mainstream. These drills are used in reverse to compact, and displace, instead of removing ...
-
(2021-04-23)The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effect of implant surface treatment on titanium particle shedding as a measure for peri-implantitis potential following piezoelectric instrumentation. Three groups of ...
-
(2022-03-25)The purpose of this study was to evaluate the treatment effect of an antioxidant gel on modifying the signs and symptoms of oral lichen planus. The gel contains the antioxidants phloretin and ferulic acid, as well as the ...
-
(2018-05-02)The purpose of this prospective, longitudinal, descriptive clinical study is to investigate the plaque accumulation and soft tissue inflammation in maxillary full-arch implant-supported fixed prostheses (FIFP) fabricated ...
-
(2019-03-26)Studies using the dental videoscope have identified so called “microgrooves” and “microislands of calculus” on root surfaces within periodontal defects. These grooves have been observed in vivo due to the visualization up ...
