Associated With for Horizontal and Vertical Guided Bone Regeneration-Case Report.

Dental absences are a worldwide issue, affecting patients both socially and functionally. Implant rehabilitation is the gold standard treatment; however, prior bone reconstructions may be necessary. The Barbell Technique is a guided bone regeneration technique recommended for defects of various morphologies, allowing for vertical and horizontal unidirectional or bidirectional regeneration, that is, both on the buccal and palatal/lingual sides.

Effect of Gamma Radiation on the Wear Potential of Hybrid Ceramic to Tooth Enamel.

Hybrid ceramics exhibit low wear on antagonist tooth enamel, which may positively impact the oral rehabilitation of head-and-neck irradiated patients who experience alterations in tooth microstructure and wear resistance. This study aimed to evaluate the wear resistance of hybrid ceramics after gamma radiation exposure in contact with irradiated tooth enamel, as well as their mechanical and chemical properties. Notably, no previous studies focusing on the effects of radiation on hybrid ceramics were found in the literature.

Unveiling degenerative bone changes in the condyle: a texture analysis approach using cone-beam computed tomography.

Purpose: The degenerative joint disease is a temporomandibular disorder. By analysing texture parameters, it becomes possible to characterize and differentiate various tissues, based on their textural properties according to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). This study evaluated degenerative diseases in the temporomandibular joint through texture analysis.
