Article Abstract

The current study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the alveolar bone mucosa- periosteal bone flap technique in horizontally augmenting the alveolar ridge during dental implant placement. This retrospective analysis included 20 patients with a total of 45 implants, and was designed to evaluate the alveolar ridge widths both before and after surgery. Preoperative measurements indicated an average alveolar ridge width of 3.62 ± 0.90 mm, which increased to 6.58 ± 1.16 mm postoperatively. Statistical analysis revealed a significant increase in alveolar ridge width following the procedure (P < 0.05), with an average gain of 2.96 ± 1.21 mm. In summary, these findings suggest that the alveolar bone mucosa-periosteal bone flap technique is an effective approach for widening the alveolar ridge while placing dental implants, meriting its consideration for clinical application.

The lung undergoes continuous remodeling throughout normal development and aging, including changes to alveolar and capillary structure and function. While histological methods allow for static analysis of these age-related changes, characterizing the changes that occur in response to mechanical stimuli remains difficult, particularly over a dynamic, physiologically relevant range in a functioning lung. Alveolar and capillary distension - the change in diameter of alveoli and capillaries, respectively, in response to pressure changes - is one such process, where dynamically controlling and monitoring the diameter of the same capillary or alveolus is essential to inferring its mechanical properties.

Aims: Our review aimed to determine the prevalence of - and factors associated with - hearing loss, oral and olfactory disease, frozen shoulder, trigger finger, and hair loss in young adults with type 1 diabetes. These conditions were selected based on research team interests, existing literature, and group discussion.

Methods: We conducted a quantitative narrative review using a systematic process to identify cohort and cross-sectional studies involving young adults with type 1 diabetes (mean age 18-30 years).

This study aimed to characterize gingival thickness (GT) and determine correlations with other local phenotypic features. CBCT scans from adult subjects involving the maxillary anterior teeth were obtained to assess buccal GT at different apicocoronal levels, periodontal supracrestal tissue height (STH), the distance (CEJ-BC) from the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) to the alveolar bone crest (BC), and buccolingual tooth dimensions. A total of 100 subjects and 600 maxillary anterior teeth comprised the study sample.

Impact of Buccal Bone Arch Contour on Bone Remodeling and Esthetics in Guided Bone Regeneration: A Retrospective Study.

Clin Implant Dent Relat Res

October 2025

Stomatology Hospital, School of Stomatology, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases of Zhejiang Province, Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedical Research of Zhejiang Province, Cancer Center of Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.

Objectives: To assess the stability of hard tissue following simultaneous guided bone regeneration (GBR) in the anterior maxilla, analyze the impact of the buccal bone arch contour on postoperative bone remodeling and restorative outcomes.

Methods: Patients who underwent anterior maxillary implantation and simultaneous GBR were included. Radiographic metrics were evaluated using preoperative, immediate postoperative, and follow-up cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) scans, and esthetic indicators were extracted from follow-up clinical records.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted global healthcare, including patterns of maxillofacial trauma. This multicentre retrospective study analysed 3954 patients treated from January 2018 to December 2023 at hospitals in Bratislava, Martin, and Kosice, covering three periods: pre-COVID, during COVID, and post-COVID. Data included patient demographics, trauma causes, treatment methods, and complication rates.
