Porous titanium tooth roots: clinical evaluation.

1. An inert porous vehicle can be successfully used to attach endosseous dental implants to surrounding alveolar bone. 2. Implant size and the width of keratinized gingiva surrounding the implant are critical to the success of the implant. 3. Radiography and pocket depth are useful indicators of the status of porous endosseous roots, while mobility is not.

Preservation of the alveolar ridge with hydroxylapatite tooth root substitutes.

A total of 49 patients, who were followed for 3 to 31 months, have had 92 hydroxylapatite root implants placed in fresh extraction sockets without soft tissue closure. Hydroxylapatite root implants maintain approximately twice as much alveolar bone as the contralateral control sites without implants. It is believed that this method is a more effective and efficient procedure to preserve alveolar bone for retention of dentures than previously described procedures.

Systemic lead absorption in human tooth roots.

One-hundred and five impacted and erupted sound teeth were analysed for lead content by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results showed that lead accumulated before eruption, presumably soon after the onset of dentine formation. The accumulation in dentine was systemic, without any contribution from the oral environment. The amount of lead in dentine may denote the amount of absorption into the body and serve as a precise index to body burden as no absorption from the mouth can take place. In adults, impacted and erupted teeth can be used together in any research and the donor's age can be considered as the period of lead accumulation.

Effects of combining Ledermix and calcium hydroxide pastes on the diffusion of corticosteroid and tetracycline through human tooth roots in vitro.

A 50:50 mixture of a corticosteroid/antibiotic paste and calcium hydroxide has been used clinically as a root canal dressing agent. This study investigated the effect on the release and diffusion of the corticosteroid and antibiotic components of Ledermix paste when it was mixed with a calcium hydroxide-methyl cellulose paste. The release rates of the trace molecules were lower when the mixture was used compared with release from Ledermix alone. The results indicated that this combination of materials, when used a long-term intracanal dressing, was likely to be more effective than Ledermix alone.
