Treatment of ectopic mandibular second molar with titanium miniscrews
No full textThe use of a Cizeta titanium miniscrew (Cizeta Surgical, Bologna, Italy) for treating an impacted mandibular second molar is presented in this report. The surgical procedure for placing the miniscrew and the subsequent orthodontic management are described, including orthodontic traction with a nickel-titanium closed-coil spring exerting 50 g of force. We concluded that the titanium miniscrew for skeletal anchorage is effective in treating deeply impacted mandibular second molars
Three-point bending test simulation on implant FPDS with a bio-faithful model
No full textIt is well known by previous important studies that mandible flexes during different jaw movements. According to this assumption it is very important to know how implant supported fixed partial dentures could restrict mandibular movements and, could lead to excess strain accumulation that could modify the resolution of implant treatment. The aim of our project is to create a bio-faithful model able to recreate mandibular movements, during three point bending test methods of (FIXED -PARTIAL -DENTURES) FPDs, to avoid a not flexible metal base, where models' properties doesn't allow to obtain a bio-faithful simulation during testing phases
Radiosurgery in dentistry: a review
No full textThe aim of the present study was to analyse the clinical potential of radiosurgery applied to modern dentistry through a revision of the indexed literature. Radiosurgery represents a recent form of electrosurgery working at a frequency of 3.0-4.0 MHz. The depth of penetration of the waves is inversely proportional to the frequency. Radiowaves working at high frequency express a lower penetration with a consequent lower tissue alteration. The authors analyzed the literature in order to give to the scientific community an overview of the possible applications of radiosurgery in the clinical dental practice and their effectiveness. Radiosurgery can be used in prosthodontics, in periodontal and implant surgery, in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndromes (OSAS) and in endodontics. Our analysis shows that although there are few articles in indixed literature on the applications of radiosurgery in dentistry, thanks to the benefits that derive from it, radiosurgery will spread more in the daily clinical practice of the dentists
Clinical protocol with digital CAD/CAM chairside workflow for the rehabilitation of severely worn dentition patients
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the effectiveness and to describe a clinical protocol with digital CAD CAM chairside workflow for the rehabilitation of severely compromised and worn dentitions
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Immediate restoration of a single upper central integrating digital workflow and a novel dental implant: a case report
No full textThe aim of this study is to report the integrated digital workflow with a novel dental implant to rehabilitate a single tooth in a high value aesthetic zone. A 50-year-old man asked to rehabilitate tooth 1.1. The use of an integrated digital workflow in combination with computer guided surgery allow the clinician to visualize all patient's information when planning the rehabilitation in order to obtain a more predictable and a less invasive surgery. After two months of follow-up there were no biological or prosthetic issues. Within the limitation of this study, the digital workflow to rehabilitate a high value aesthetic zone could improve predictability and accuracy in immediate loading restoration
Mechanical evaluation and fem analysis of stress in fixed partial dentures zirconium-ceramic
No full textThe role of periodontal bacteria, Porphyromonas Gingivalis, in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis and aggravation: A review
No full textThe aim of this study was to establish the role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Alzheimer’s disease. An electronic search of publications was established from three electronic databases: Cochrane, PubMed and Web of Science. The search strategy used a combination of controlled vocabulary and free-text words. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined by the authors before the start of the study. The inclusion criteria were: All studies published in English language; in vitro analysis; in vivo on animals and postmortem biopsies on humans; studies analyzing the correlation between periodontal disease and Alzheimer. The search resulted in 262 titles. Only 9 articles were included in the quantitative analysis. An inflammatory status in the oral cavity might be connect to a brain degeneration syndrome such as dementia and AD. However, a strictly connection is still not evincible. More trials are recommended in order to investigate the role of periodontal bacteria and Porphyromonas gingivalis in AD pathogenesis and aggravation. © by BIOLIFE, s.a.s
Laser in periodontal pockets: in vivo and in vitro study
No full textThe aim of this study was to verify the sterilizing effectiveness of the laser in the treatment of the periodontal pockets in vivo, with the recording of clinicians' parameters and microbiological analysis, and in vitro with particular attention to the presence of specific bacterial stocks. During our study, in particular, it has been used the diodes laser. In order to estimate the effectiveness of the treatment of the periodontal pockets with laser, it has been examined the microbial content of the pockets carrying out withdrawals of the sulcular material before, immediately after and twenty minutes from the radiation. The microbiological results of the studies assert that, although substantial qualitative discrepancies between the several colonies of pathogen do not exist, quantitative differences are taken place with respect to the lessening of number and dimension of the present colonie
