19. The Use of Short and Extra-Short BTI Implants In the Daily Clinical Practice
Background: The aims of this study were to evaluate the long-term survival rates of short (7 mm to 8.5 mm) and extra-short BTI implants (5.5 mm and 6.5 mm) installed both in the maxilla and the mandible.
33. Simplifying Implant Placement with Partially Edentulous Arch Surgical Stents
Background: Dental implants are a prosthetically driven treatment with a surgical component. It is important to guide the surgical placement so that prosthetics are uncomplicated and predictable. Surgical stents pro- vide communication between the surgeon and restoring dentist so that implant placement is at the ideal prosthetic position and angulation.
47. A Comparative Clinical, Histological and Histomorphometric Study of Mineralized Allograft and Xenograft Materials in the Treatment of Atrophic Maxillary Sinuses
Background: Maxillary sinus augmentation with deproteinized mineralized bovine bone xenografts (DMBBX) alone or in combination with demineralized freeze-dried bone allografts (DFDBA) has been well documented. Recently, articles have been published evaluating histologically, histomorphometrically, and clinically the efficacy of using human mineralized cortical, cancellous, or a combination of both for atrophic maxillary sinuses. This study clinically, histologically and histomorphometrically compares three graft combinations currently used by practitioners in the augmentation of atrophic human maxillary sinuses.
