This retrospective study examined the clinical and radiographic outcomes of a shortened lateral approach protocol used for early surgical reentry after a large sinus membrane perforation during maxillary sinus augmentation (lateral approach). Its objective was to assess the rehabilitative success of this approach for patients with an atrophic posterior maxilla. Between May 2015 and October 2020, seven patients underwent a lateral approach protocol for reentry surgery, one month post a significant perforation of the sinus membrane during maxillary sinus floor augmentation via lateral approach. All patients in the posterior maxilla demonstrated a residual bone height that fell below 3mm under the sinus. Manual blunt elevators or piezoelectric devices facilitated the sinus membrane elevation during reentry surgery, a procedure without any patient complications, while bone substitute particles augmented the sinus floor height. The follow-up, encompassing the duration from eighteen months up to six years, yielded no further perforations and no complications. The initial sinus surgery's one-month waiting period facilitates uncomplicated sinus membrane elevation. A potential surgical re-entry point, in the event of a large sinus membrane perforation, could be facilitated by this timing. The International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry, within its 2023 publication (volume 43), provides an article that extends across pages 241 to 246. A careful exploration of the findings presented within the publication associated with DOI 1011607/prd.6463 is recommended.
This investigation aimed to describe the step-by-step execution of the polydioxanone dome technique, using guided bone regeneration (GBR), and to provide results assessment up to 72 months after the implantation process. For patients diagnosed with horizontal maxillary bone loss (less than 5 mm residual width, verified by CBCT), the proposed treatment approach was carried out. Four strategically placed bone perforations, arranged in a roughly square formation, were created during the GBR procedure. Polydioxanone suture segments were implanted into the perforations, creating a rounded, dome-like configuration. A new CBCT was done; six months after the bone augmentation. Post-implant restoration, periapical radiographs were taken, and a repeat procedure was undertaken annually. Implant survival, horizontal bone gain, marginal bone level, and complications were investigated through the course of the analysis. In a mean follow-up period of 3818 1965 months post-loading, twenty implants placed in eleven patients demonstrated a remarkable 100% survival rate. Bone gain in the horizontal dimension averaged 382.167 mm, whereas the average marginal bone level registered a value of -0.117 mm. Substantial complications were absent, save for a few minor ones. Analysis of the current findings indicates that the polydioxanone dome method holds promise as a treatment strategy for horizontal GBR, used alone or in concert with implant placement. In 2023, the International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry, volume 43, showcased a comprehensive collection of articles, starting with number 223 and concluding with number 230. The requested document, signified by the DOI 1011607/prd.6087, is expected to be presented.
The development of periodontal regeneration therapy has been significant since its initial use, with it now serving as a clinically applied method to maintain the periodontally compromised natural dentition. Bone and soft tissue regeneration, exemplified by the use of connective tissue grafts (CTGs) and techniques that do not require the incision of interdental papillae to approach the bone defect, can often resolve complex aesthetic issues. The challenge of consistently achieving vertical periodontal tissue regeneration at the alveolar bone crest in severe cases of periodontitis, including the loss of both soft and hard tissues, persists. Chromatography A patient exhibiting severe periodontitis was the subject of a case report, highlighting the successful treatment using supra-alveolar periodontal tissue reconstruction procedures. In this innovative surgical method, horizontal buccal incisions are employed in conjunction with several vertical palatal incisions, strategically bypassing the interdental papillae, which are present in the periodontal defect. A space is formed by the coronal stabilization of the flap; CTG, regenerative materials (including recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2) and bone graft material are then incorporated. The technique's potential for clinical implementation is substantial, enabling supra and intraperiodontal regeneration and enhancing aesthetic results, including decreased gingival recession and restored interdental papillae. Over the course of the subsequent two years, the patient's clinical status remained consistently stable. Pages 213 to 221 of the 2023 International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry, volume 43, host an insightful investigation.

Resorption of the alveolar bone is an unavoidable consequence of tooth loss. Rehabilitation of the anterior arches faces an additional challenge due to their curved anatomy. To counteract the curvature in these areas, intricate surgical procedures frequently involve the manipulation of membranes and multiple bone blocks. In complex cases, the split bone block technique (SBBT) has yielded positive outcomes. Z-VAD order Yet, the blocks' incapacity to form curves mandates a more significant usage of bone or membrane to balance this restriction. A method of bone bending, inspired by the ancient kerfing woodbending technique, is proposed to shape rigid SBB plates into a reproduction of the natural anterior arch anatomy. Three patients with bone destruction in the anterior maxilla required bone augmentation using SBBT and kerfing before dental implants were placed. The plates were effectively bent to accommodate the form of each maxilla, causing no detrimental effects. The bone curvature was successfully reconstructed, and every bone graft healed without incident. Complications were not reported. Following a four-month period, implant placement occurred, followed by definitive restorations seven to nine months later. Clinical evaluations and radiographic assessments were performed in conjunction at the 12-month interval. Through the use of kerfing, complete customization of autogenous bone plates was achievable. Employing this method, the facial and palatal regions of the anterior maxilla achieved an ideal bone curve and shape. Consequently, it enabled ideal implant positioning, minimizing the amount of bone removed and reducing the need for soft tissue augmentation to form the desired curved shape. This technique successfully employed autologous osseous plates, which hugged the anterior maxilla's anatomical curves, leading to exceptional healing and remarkable regeneration of the ridge width. Complex anatomical imperfections find this principle to be a valuable asset.

Within the context of periodontal regeneration, growth factors are critical for periodontal wound healing, playing a pivotal role in the triad's function. Purified recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (rhPDGF-BB), combined with bone graft materials, has been shown through randomized controlled clinical trials to effectively treat intrabony periodontal defects. Many clinicians are presently administering a treatment protocol that incorporates rhPDGF-BB with xenogeneic or allogeneic bone. This case series explored the clinical performance of combining rhPDGF-BB with xenogeneic bone substitutes for the treatment of severe intrabony periodontal defects. A combined approach using rhPDGF-BB and xenogeneic graft matrix proved effective in treating three patients with problematic deep and wide intrabony defects. During the 12-18 month period, the following observations were made: probing depth (PD) reduction, bleeding on probing (BOP), mobility reduction, and radiographic bone fill (RBF). Surgical intervention led to a reduction in periodontal probing depth (PD), diminishing from 9 millimeters to 4 millimeters during the post-surgical observation period. Importantly, bleeding on probing (BOP) was no longer observed, and a decrease in tooth mobility was observed. The radiographic bone fill (RBF) consistently fell between 85% and 95% throughout the post-surgical monitoring. Treatment of severe intrabony periodontal defects using rhPDGF-BB combined with xenogeneic bone substitutes proves to be a safe and effective graft, resulting in favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes. Larger case series or randomized trials will be crucial to clarifying the clinical predictability of this treatment protocol.

Full-mouth laser-assisted new attachment procedures (LANAP) yield, unfortunately, restricted long-term treatment outcomes in patients. Full-mouth LANAP procedures for tooth retention were scrutinized in this study, considering both clinical and radiographic adjustments. Consecutive, retrospective chart reviews at a private periodontics practice led to the identification of sixty-six patients, exhibiting generalized stage III/IV periodontitis, and ranging in age from 30 to 76 years. The LANAP protocol's effect was measured by comparing the initial periodontal examination to the most recent periodontal maintenance visit (conducted approximately 67 years later), with a focus on interproximal probing depths (iPD) and interproximal bone loss (iBL) percentages.
