Abstract

Bone substitutes will play a pivotal role in the future of periodontal regeneration. They are synthetically derived or processed from exoskeletons of other species (xenograft) and are an alternative to autogenous or allogeneic bone replacement grafts. Bone substitutes do not provide the cellular elements necessary for osteogenesis, and they cannot be considered osteoinductive, but instead are osteoconductive, providing a scaffold for new bone deposition. Currently, significant decreases in clinical probing depth and attachment levels have been reported with bone substitutes when compared to flap debridement surgery alone for periodontal osseous defects. Reported differences among bone substitutes, autogenous grafts, and allograft materials, occur with respect to histologic outcomes. Overall, probing depth reduction and attachment level gains are similar for all bone replacement grafts.

Rat model of polymicrobial infection, immunity, and alveolar bone resorption in periodontal disease.

One of the predominant polymicrobial infections of humans is expressed clinically as periodontal disease. Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythia have been strongly implicated as members of a pathogenic consortium in the etiology of adult periodontitis. In this study we hypothesized that P. gingivalis, T. denticola, and T. forsythia are synergistic in terms of virulence potential and induce chronic periodontal inflammation that leads to alveolar bone resorption in a polymicrobial infection in rats. Groups of rats were infected with either P. gingivalis, T. denticola, or T. forsythia in monomicrobial infections or with all three species in polymicrobial oral infections with or without Fusobacterium nucleatum. PCR analyses of oral microbial samples demonstrated that rats infected with one bacterium were orally colonized by each of the bacteria during the study interval, and increased serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody levels substantiated the interaction of the host with the infecting bacteria. PCR analyses of the rats with polymicrobial infections demonstrated that most rats were infected with P. gingivalis, T. denticola, and T. forsythia as a consortium. Furthermore, all rats exhibited a significant increase in the level of IgG antibody to the polymicrobial consortium. Radiographic measurement of alveolar bone resorption showed that rats infected with the polymicrobial consortium with or without F. nucleatum exhibited significantly increased alveolar bone resorption compared to the resorption in uninfected control rats, as well as the resorption in rats infected with one of the microbes. These results documented that P. gingivalis, T. denticola, and T. forsythia not only exist as a consortium that is associated with chronic periodontitis but also exhibit synergistic virulence resulting in the immunoinflammatory bone resorption characteristic of periodontitis.

Sinus lifting before Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy: a suitable method for oral rehabilitation of edentulous patients with skeletal class-III conditions: review of the literature and report of a case.

BACKGROUND: Functional rehabilitation of patients afflicted with severe mandibular and maxillary alveolar atrophy might be challenging especially in malformed patients. METHODS: Treatment planning using sinus lifting and implant placement before Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy in a patient with severe mandibular and posterior maxillary alveolar atrophy and skeletal class-III conditions due to cleft palate are described. RESULTS: A full functional and esthetic rehabilitation of the patient was achieved by a stepwise surgical approach performed through sinus lifting as the primary approach followed by implant placement and subsequent Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy to correct the maxillo-mandibular relation. CONCLUSION: Stabilisation of the maxillary complex by a sinus lifting procedure in combination with computer aided implant placement as preorthodontic planning procedure before Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy seems to be suitable in order to allow ideal oral rehabilitation especially in malformed patients.

[A new technique for transcrestal sinus floor elevation with press-fit bone cylinders (dowel lift): short communication of the first in vitro results].

The minimally invasive sinus floor elevation as first described by Summers is limited in augmentation volume, whereas a more invasive approach is required for the technique of Tatum for larger bone defects. We developed a new technique for the transcrestal elevation of the sinus floor with bone dowels using a press-fit technique (dowel lift). We present the technique with first in vitro results in a fresh, unpreserved, human cadaver.
