Evaluation Of Soft And Hard Tissue Changes Around Guided Immediate Implants In The Esthetic Area With Immediate Temporization: A Prospective Clinical And Radiographic Pilot Study., Pierre Lahoud, Elie Bou Assi, Abdallah Menhall, Lara Nasr, Christian Makary

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Purpose: This study aimed to assess soft and hard tissue changes occurring 6 and 12 months after guided implant placement into extraction sockets and immediate temporization in the esthetic zone.

Materials and Methods: Eight patients requiring single immediate implant placement in the anterior mandible or maxilla were included in this study. Atraumatic extractions were performed using ultrasonic instruments and implants were placed into extraction sockets following digitally guided surgery. Gap between implants and buccal bone plate was filled with allogeneic bone substitutes. Implants were immediately temporized with pre-prepared PMMA crowns. Cone Beam Computed Tomography and digital impressions were done pre-operatively, …

Compound Odontoma:Diagnosis And Treatment: Case Report, Georgina El Ghoule, Bassam Salameh, Wassim Al Manhal

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Odontomas are an asymptomatic benign odontogenic tumors, generally discovered fortuitously, or when a tooth failed to erupt. They are mainly composed of enamel and dentin, cement and pulp tissue can also be present in variable amounts. In 2005, the World Health Organization classified two main types of odontoma, an amorphous and irregular mass of calcified dental tissues as complexe odontoma and multiple miniature tooth-like structures as compound odontoma. This article is a case presentation of a compound odontoma diagnosed for an eleven year old girl upon a routine radiography, making it a lesion of childhood /adolescence. A retro-alveolar radiography of …

Evaluation Of Amnion Chorion Membrane For Socket Preservation After The Extraction Of Maxillary Single Rooted Teeth. (A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial), Karim Soussi, Nayer Aboelsaad, Ziad Aly

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of using dehydrated de-epithelialized amnion chorion membrane (ddACM) on socket preservation in the anterior region, clinically and radiographically. Materials and methods: 26 unrestorable maxillary anterior or single rooted premolars, with buccal fenestration, were selected. The socket was filled with allograft material and covered with ddACM for study group, and collagen membrane for the control group divided equally. Clinical parameters including gingival healing and tissue thickness was assessed. Volumetric bone change was measured 4 months later using a CBCT. Results: Study group showed clinical statistical significant results than …

Clinical And Radiographic Evaluation Of Bone Remodeling Around Implants Placed In Horizontally Augmented Bone: A Pilot Study, Nadim El Khoury, Menassa Gabriel, Carole Chakar, Abdel Rahman Kassir, Nada Naaman

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Introduction: Marginal bone loss after implant placement is one of the most used criteria to assess the success of osseointegrated implants over time. The type of implant connection and implant surface type are reported to have an influence on bone remodeling around the placed implants. This study aimed to evaluate marginal bone loss around two implant systems with different connections and surfaces in horizontally augmented sites.

Methods: This randomized control pilot study included 8 implants placed in 3 patients who needed implant placement in previously horizontally grafted sites. The placed implants were divided into two groups: group 1 consisting of …
