Efficacy of platelet-rich albumin and fibrin gel in two-stage lateral sinus lift: a prospective study.

Background: Maxillary sinus lift procedures require biomaterials that combine osteogenic potential with structural stability. This study evaluates Albumin-Platelet-Rich Fibrin (Alb-PRF), a novel autologous material, as a standalone graft alternative in two-stage lateral sinus lifts, addressing limitations of rapid resorption in traditional platelet concentrates.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted on nine patients (mean age: 48.

Predictive factors for insertion torque values in transalveolar sinus lift procedures.

Objectives: The objective of this retrospective study was to investigate the impact of bone-related factors such as initial bone height (IBH), imaginary pixel unit (IPU), bone diameter (BD), crestal cortical thickness (CCT), and sinus floor thickness (SFT) in transalveolar sinus lift procedures using threaded bone expanders without bone graft materials.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study was carried out on patients who had reported to the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery at Tishreen University between January 2018 and June 2024. The sample consisted of patients who had transalveolar sinus lift using motorized threaded bone expanders with simultaneous hybrid dental implants placement without bone graft materials.

Dental implant placement with simultaneous localized ridge augmentation using L-shaped titanium mesh in the esthetic zone: a case report.

The aim of this case report is to illustrate a successful technique for dental implant placement in the esthetic zone using simultaneous localized ridge augmentation with L-shaped titanium mesh. A 35-year-old patient presented with a single missing tooth in the esthetic zone requiring dental implant placement. The treatment plan was made to place a dental implant in conjunction with a guided bone regeneration procedure using a prefabricated L-shaped titanium mesh.

Tent-pole technique for alveolar ridge width preservation with a compromised buccal plate: a prospective cohort study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the tent-pole technique for alveolar ridge preservation of compromised alveolar socket following the surgical extraction of incurable single root premolars.

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted on 12 patients who presented to the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery and had alveolar ridge preservation using tent-pole technique between August 2021 and February 2022. The alveolar ridge width was analyzed using cone beam computed tomography scans taken preoperative and 6 months postoperative.

Influence of implant protrusion length and initial bone height on intrasinus bone gain in transalveolar sinus floor elevation without bone graft: a 2-year retrospective study.

Unlabelled: A transalveolar sinus lift is a safe and predictable long-term surgical approach. Several factors affect clinical and radiographic outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between intrasinus bone gain (IBG) with the implant protrusion length (IPL) and the initial bone height (IBH) in transalveolar sinus floor elevation (TSFE) without bone graft procedures.

Marsupialization and peripheral ostectomy for the management of large odontogenic keratocyst: a case report.

Odontogenic keratocyst has been of particular interest due to its distinctive behavior and its tendency to frequently recurrence and the diversity of treatment methods. Researchers have differed over the past decades about the nature of this lesion, sometimes it was classified as a cyst and sometimes it was classified as a tumor because of its specific histopathologic features, high recurrence rate and aggressive behavior. We discuss a case of a large odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) that was treated by marsupialization followed by peripheral ostectomy.
