Minimally Invasive Sinus Lift Through the Interradicular Septum

Bone LossBone Loss4 more

This study aims to describe a new approach for the reconstruction of the alveolar process in the sinus area. This minimally invasive approach will access the maxillary sinus through the alveolar process, elevating the sinus membrane in the area immediately above it. The regeneration may be achieved in the specific area required for dental implant placement, reducing the morbidity of the procedure.

Application of Hyaluronic Acid in the Treatment of Periodontitis

Periodontal Bone Loss

The aim of the present investigation will be evaluated the healing of suprabony defects following surgical flap elevation and hyaluronic acid application respect to surgical flap elevation alone. A total of 80 patients will be enrolled, selected by inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided in two groups: hyaluronic acid group and no-hyaluronic acid group.

Periodontal Granulation Tissue Preservation in Surgical Periodontitis Treatment

Periodontal PocketPeriodontal Diseases1 more

The objective of this study will be to evaluate a new protocol for the surgical treatment of periodontal disease with two novelties: to make a single incision in the midline of the interproximal area to respect the vascular supply and preserve the granulation tissue with regenerative potential. The investigators will carry out a controlled and randomized clinical trial with a control group (n=25; modified Kirkland flap) and a test group (n=25; experimental surgical protocol: incision in the mid-interproximal area of the papilla and preservation of the granulation tissue). Clinical parameters will be taken at the time of surgery and 12 months follow-up: bleeding on probing (BoP), clinical attachment level (CAL), residual probing depth (rPD),Probing pocket depth reduction (PPDr), recession (REC), interproximal gingival recession (iGR), width of keratinized gingiva (KT), gain of supra-alveolar clinical attachment (SUPRA-AG), early wound healing index (EHI).

Tenting Screws in Combination With Platelet Concentrate for Vertical Alveolar Ridge Augmentation...

Bone LossAlveolar

Alveolar bone resorption often occurs after tooth extraction. At present, guided bone regeneration technique is widely used in clinic since it leads to less trauma and less complications. Tenting screw technology, basic on the classical GBR, implants screws into the surgical area to prevent the barrier membrane from collapsing. Moreover, advanced platelet rich fibrin and injectable platelet-rich fibrin are used to provide the osteogenic function. The investigators intend to increase vertical alveolar bone augmentation by combining tenting screws and A-PRF, I-PRF.

The Rehabilitation of Atrophic Jaws Using Short Implants With Different Surface Characteristics...

Peri-Implantation LossPeriodontal Bone Loss4 more

The aim of the research is to evaluate the clinical outcome of short dental implants, characterized by a new macro-structural design and inserted in the upper or lower jaw in patients with reduced bone volume. The clinical outcomes will be compared for different surface treatments of implant neck and those of prosthetic components.

Treatment of Intraosseous Periodontal Defects With Hyaluronic Acid

Periodontal Bone LossPeriodontal Pocket

The aim of the present investigation will be evaluate the healing of periodontal intraosseous defects following Minimally Invasive Non Surgical Debridement (MINSD) and application of a hyaluronic acid-based gel, compared to MINSD alone. A total of 22 patients will be enrolled, selected by inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided in two groups: hyaluronic acid group (HA) and no-hyaluronic acid group (No-HA).

Periodontal Bone LossPeriodontal Pocket

The aim of the present investigation will be evaluate the healing of periodontal intraosseous defects following Minimally Invasive Non Surgical Debridement (MINSD) and application of amelogenins, compared to MINSD alone. A total of 22 patients will be enrolled, selected by inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided in two groups: amelogenin (A) and no-amelogenin group (B).

Implant-supported Rehabilitation With SPAL Technique or Soft Tissue Augmentation

DehiscenceAlveolar Ridge Enlargement2 more

The primary aim of the present study is to compare the Sub-periosteal Peri-implant Augmented Layer (SPAL) technique and soft tissue augmentation (STA), performed simultaneously to implant placement, in terms of (i) implant survival rate and (ii) health/disease condition of the peri-implant tissues at 6 and 12 months following implant loading. The secondary aim of the project will be to compare the SPAL technique and STA in terms of intra- and post-operative morbidity. The study is designed as a single-blind, parallel-arm, randomized clinical trial. Patients will be recruited and treated at the Operative Unit of Dentistry, Azienda Unità Sanitaria Locale (A.U.S.L.) of Ferrara, Italy, and one University center (Research Centre for the Study of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases, University of Ferrara, Italy). Each patient will contribute the study with one sextant ("experimental sextant"). Each eligible patient will be randomly assigned to receive SPAL technique or STA according to a computer-generated randomization list. Surgical procedures will be performed by experienced periodontal and implant surgeons. Two calibrated, blinded examiners will take care of the assessment of clinical and radiographic parameters, Case Report Form (CRF) filling, as well as data extraction from CRFs for the preparation of the study database. The proportion of patients free from peri-implantitis at 12 months following loading will be the primary outcome variable of the study. The proportion of patients with complete resolution of the bone dehiscence (BD), dimensional variations and 12-months characteristics of BD, and patient-reported outcome measures will be the secondary outcomes. The design will test two hypotheses, with a non-inferiority trial in terms of primary outcome and a superiority trial in terms of secondary outcomes.

Intraoral Ultrasound Imaging of Tooth-periodontium Complex

Alveolar Bone LossPeriodontitis

Misaligned teeth are very common in the population and are commonly known as malocclusion. This happens when the upper teeth do not align properly with the lower teeth. It can lead to difficulty in jaw movement, chewing, speech, and gum disease. Correction of malocclusion requires orthodontic (braces) treatment. Currently, the imaging technique known as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been routinely used in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning for patients with malocclusion. Although CBCT provides better information than conventional dental X-rays, it typically delivers more harmful radiation to the patients. This is especially important as radiation from repeated X-ray imaging during dental monitoring visits can be cumulative. Ultrasound is commonly used in medical imaging. The ultrasound method is non-invasive, cost-effective, and free of ionizing radiation. The application of ultrasound has been investigated in many fields in Dentistry. We plan to evaluate the ability of intra-oral ultrasound to see the bone and gingiva around the tooth for patients under orthodontic treatment. If ultrasound is found to be a reliable tool in imaging the tooth-gum complex, children and adolescents will benefit immensely from the decreased radiation risks and reduced cancer rate.
