Treatment Of Implant Labial Soft Tissue Dehiscence With Guided Bone Regeneration Vs Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft. A Randomized Clinical Trial, Mahmoud El-Rayes, Waleed F. Esmael, Mohamed Atef, Lobna Abdelaziz

Future Dental Journal

Background: Implant soft tissue dehiscence is a frequently reported esthetic complication, that more often than not affects the functional integrity of the dental implant with eventual loss of osteointegration. Many treatment modalities with different success rates have been proposed aiming to solve this complication or prolong the survival of the dental implant, of which are guided bone regeneration and soft tissue regeneration around the affected implants.

Material and Methods: This prospective study was carried in the hospital of Future University. 11 Patients (1 Male – 10 Females) with 20 Maxillary implant sites demonstrating soft tissue dehiscence were randomly allocated to …

Three-Dimensional Maxillary Alveolar Ridge Augmentation Using Modified Cortical Shell Technique And Composite Bone Graft, Mostafa Azab, Mohammed Diaa, Waleed El-Beialy, Amr Amin Ghanem

Future Dental Journal

Objective: The present study was performed to assess the 3D alveolar ridge augmentation using the cortical shell from retromolar region and composite bone particulate regarding the width of the residual alveolar ridge. Methods: Thirteen patients with age range 21-40 years old having atrophic anterior maxillary ridge ≤3mm horizontally were included in the study. All patients were subjected to ridge augmentation using composite bone graft and retromolar cortical shell that was fixed in place by two micro-screws. The alveolar ridges were assessed and compared by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the pre-operative, immediate and 4 months post-operative phases by taking …

Assessment Of Anterior Alveolar Bone Graft Healing With And Without Coverage, With Collagen Membrane, Mary Magdy Awad Alla Abdou

Future Dental Journal

Objective

This study was designed to evaluate the retromolar as a new donor site and its ability to augment the alveolar ridge horizontal and/or vertical defects prior to implant placement.

Method

Twelve patients were selected for future implant placement after anterior maxillary ridge augmentation. CBCTs were performed preoperative, immediate postoperative and 6 months postoperative. After induction of general anesthesia, an envelope flap full mucoperiosteal flap was raised to expose the maxillary alveolar ridge defect. A donor site full thickness flap was elevated to expose the lateral body of the ramus, The graft was fixed in all the twelve patients but …
