Evaluation of Bone Mineral Density Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography in Controlled Diabetic and Nondiabetic Edentulous Subjects for Assessment of Prospective Implant Sites | Chapter 1 | Medical Research and Its Applications Vol. 10

 

Osseointegrated endosseous oral implants provide a predictable, effective and reliable means for the replacement of missing natural dentition in partially and completely edentulous patients. This cross-sectional study aims to assess and compare bone mineral density in non-diabetic and controlled diabetic subjects using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Sixty completely edentulous patients, aged 45-75 years, were divided into two groups: 30 nondiabetic and 30 controlled type 2 diabetics. Diabetic control was verified using glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels between 6.1% and 8%. Customized radiographic stents were fabricated for each patient with chemically cured transparent acrylic resin. Bone densities at trabecular, buccal, and lingual cortical regions of the maxillary and mandibular ridges were measured in Hounsfield units using CBCT at 10 prospective oral implant sites. Data analysis was conducted using STATA, version 14.0. Results indicated no significant differences in bone mineral density between nondiabetic and controlled diabetic subjects. Within the study's limitations, it can be concluded that controlled type 2 diabetes does not significantly affect bone mineral density in edentulous patients.

Prosthetic Implant-supported Rehabilitation after Mandibular Ameloblastoma Resection: An 8-year Follow-up Case Report |Chapter 2 | Medical Science: Recent Advances and Applications Vol. 9

 

Introduction: Ameloblastomas are benign but locally invasive odontogenic tumours, most frequently located in the mandible. The gold standard treatment is the surgical resection with safety margins. Postsurgical defects generate a significant morbidity that needs reconstruction and oral rehabilitation to restore the oral functions. Dental implants are the main option for prosthetic rehabilitation. An individualised treatment plan is necessary, which requires multidisciplinary teams: maxillofacial surgeons, implantologists and prosthodontists. Case presentation: This case report describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of a 42-year-old man after mandibular ameloblastoma resection. Excision of the lesion by segmental mandibulectomy and mandibular reconstruction by microvascularized fibula flap was performed. After placement of 6 dental implants, the patient was rehabilitated with a lower hybrid prosthesis by Computer-Aided Design-Computer-Aided Manufacturing. During an 8-year and 5-month follow-up, some clinical complications were observed: peri-implant disease and explantation of one implant due to a lack of osseointegration. A strict maintenance program was performed to avoid these problems.

 

Discussion and Conclusion: An immediate reconstruction of the postoperative defect is essential to avoid aesthetic problems and functional sequelae. The functional reconstruction of large mandibular segments with microvascularized flaps and dental implants is considered the best option. Nonetheless, it is vitally important to monitor the patient closely and to follow a maintenance program to minimise peri-implant disease.

Long-term Follow-up of BioHorizons® Implants, Placed by Postgraduate Students at the University of Barcelona, Spain | Chapter 2 | Medicine and Medical Research: New Perspectives Vol. 10

The study aimed to evaluate the survival and failure rate, in the short- and medium-term, in addition to its relationship with risk factors, in implants placed by postgraduate students of the Master of Medicine, Surgery, and Oral Implantology course from the University of Barcelona. The success of dental implants is related to both the surgical technique and a series of factors that can contribute to their failure over the short term. Insufficient crestal bone height or width can require regenerative surgeries that sometimes occur simultaneously with implant placement, and can lead to complications, such as soft tissue dehiscence, infections, or insufficient final bone quality. The study was designed by including 192 patients with 422 implants placed between 2015 and 2018. Variables of implant failure were evaluated and related. Failure was split into early failure and late failure. Descriptive statistical parameters were used to evaluate the variables, which included standard deviation and percentage distribution. The chi-squared test was used to compare the qualitative data, with p = 0.05 considered as a significant value, expressed in frequency distribution tables. Qualitative data were compared using the chi-squared test, taking p ≤ 0.05 as a significant value. The comparison of quantitative variables was carried out using the Student’s t-test for independent samples. The survival rate in a period of 6 months to 3 years was 97.87%. The mean age of the patients was (54.5 ± 13), and the largest number of implants were placed in the 51–60 age range. The failure rate was 2.13% (N = 9), 6 failed early and 3 failed after definitive prosthetic loading, with a p value < 0.0001. When comparing the failures according to their location in the anterior/posterior sector of the arch, the anterior sector showed statistically significant results (p = 0.027). Evaluating this risk factor in isolation is difficult, as other factors are in play that when taken in combination, lead to a worse prognosis of success and survival for implants. These include the patient’s systemic condition and smoking habit. Failed implants had a statistically significant relationship when they were placed in the anterior sector and were performed in the early stage. The results showed that the survival and failure rates of implants placed by postgraduate students are similar to those obtained by experienced professionals, being an effective and predictable therapy for partially or edentulous patients.

Dental Implants and Oral Lichen Planus: Review and Protocol | Chapter 13 | New Advances in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 1

 Oral flowerless plant planus [OLP] is an autoimmune and chronic inflammatory affliction. The aetiology of OLP is still unknown, but it is trusted to be associated with container-mediated invulnerable dysregulation at the level of the basal membrane. Since OLP is a mucosal affliction, it has been suggested to influence the ability of fastening to the titanium surface; and although some environments are considered as risk determinants for dental implants, there are assorted absolute contraindications for this rehabilitation alternative.  Our aim is to present a orderly review that answers the PICO question: rehabilitation with dentures in patients accompanying OLP is a valid treatment alternative with a high endurance rate. The survival of 93,88% rate obtinned  is related to the survival rate of implant restoration in patients outside any pathology or integral condition, which is 92% or 95%, depending on the prosthetic restoration. In order to maintain this extreme survival rate, frequent follow-up assignments and oral cleanliness instructions should be situated to eliminate inflammatory fabric response (fairy-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis). According to the SORT tests, level A can be established in the end that OLP patients can be adjusted with dentures.

Ligaplants: The Next Generation of Dental Implants| Chapter 4 | Perspective of Recent Advances in Medical Research Vol. 2

 A fabric-engineered periodontal ligament (PDL) about implants can be secondhand as an important tool for substituting the absent natural dentition. The PDL is the key to tooth anchoring as it links tooth root and alveolar cartilage and it sustains bone composition. The most widely used implants in the current scenario are the osseointegrated implants accompanying various deficiencies and the most prominent individual lack periodontal ligament. The fields of fabric engineering and regenerative dentistry have sustained various progresses, yet its request to the field of implant dentistry is inadequate. The coming of periodontal tissue architecture has revolutionized field of prosthodontic implant dentistry. A critical new therapeutic procedure for replacing lost dentition is the development of the periodontal bond (PDL) attachment around dentures. Numerous essential cells that are crucial to the vital connection middle from two points the tooth and bone are protect in the PDL. In order to enhance organic function and lengthen the life of the dental prosthetic device, ligaplants are now a reasonable choice.

Prospective Clinical Study on the Effectiveness of Gel Topical Anesthesic in Second-Stage Surgeries of Dental Implants | Chapter 19 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 2

 The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of gel topical anaesthesia in second surgeries of dental implants in order to locate a submerged cover screw; to determine if there are significant differences in pain perception between the different treated areas of the oral cavity; and to investigate the thickness and type of oral mucosa in which the gel topical anaesthesia is effective.   Materials and Methods: The study included 13 partially and totally edentulous individuals with a total of 30 implants. The cover screws of submerged dental implants that were not submerged in a depth more than 2-4 mm were chosen. In the event that the gel topical anaesthetic was ineffective, conventional infiltrative anaesthesia was used as a backup. Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) were used to assess pain, and a periodontal probe was used to assess gum thickness.   Results: Conventional anaesthetic infiltration was required to strengthen 66.67 percent of the sample. Although a higher feeling of pain was seen in those patients who were first subjected to a second-stage surgery (p0,05), no statistically significant differences were discovered in the comparison of pain with various gum thickness, implant localization in the oral cavity.   Conclusions: Gel topical anaesthesia should be used in conjunction with infiltrative anaesthesia rather than as a stand-alone treatment for pain relief. There were no significant variations in the thickness or type of oral mucosa between the different treated locations of the oral cavity.
