Dental Arch3D Direct Detection System from the Patient’s Mouth and Robot for Implant Positioning

Posted on by amminsitodelprof
During the last years, three-dimensional scanning technologies have evolved rapidly. Several digitizing systems have been proposed which can be divided into two main categories: contact systems and non-contact systems. The contact systems digitize a surface by means of a mechanical digitizer, so ...

ATHROPHY OF THE UPPER JAWS: SINUS LIFT TECHNIQUE WITH HETEROLOGOUS BONE GRAFTS (Bio-Oss®) MIXED WITH PURE-PHASE BETA-TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE (SintOss) AND PLATELET RICH FIBRIN (PRF©)

Posted on by amminsitodelprof
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the regenerative capacity of PRF© with Bio-Oss® particulate heterologous bone grafts mixed with 50% of cortical and medullary grafts and 50% of pure-phase beta-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) and SintOss, compared with the use of Bio-Oss® mixed with 50...

USE OF PLATELET-RICH PLASMA IN IMPLANTOLOGY

Posted on by amminsitodelprof
AIM Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is blood plasma whose rationale is that platelets release different substances promoting tissue repair and affect the behavior of other cells and modulate inflammation and angiogenesis. Platelets, in fact, play a fundamental role in mediating the healing of damaged ...

CHRONIC SINUSITIS WITH SEVERELY ATROPHIC JAWS: NEW PERSPECTIVES IN IMPLANT-PROSTHETIC REHABILITATION with the use of Bio-Oss®/ Sint Oss and PRF®

Posted on by amminsitodelprof
AIM: The aim of the present study is to evaluate if sinus lift surgery can cause further complications or a clear worsening health in patients with clinical or radiological manifestations affecting the sinus.
