We aimed to evaluate the effects of onlay-type grafted human freeze-dried corticocancellous bone block (FDBB) and deproteinized bovine bone with collagen (DBBC) loaded with Escherichia coli-produced recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (ErhBMP-2) on space maintenance and new bone formation in rat calvaria. Collagen sponge (CS), FDBB, or DBBC disks (8×4 mm) with ErhBMP-2 (2.5 μg) were implanted onto the calvaria of male Sprague-Dawley rats, whereas CS with buffer was implanted onto the

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 최근 5년간 식립된 임플란트 증례를 대상으로 임플란트 주위염의 유병률을 조사하고, 질환 발생에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요소들을 분석, 평가하는 것이다. 대상 및 방법: 2012년 1월 1일부터 2016년 12월 31일까지 이화여자대학교 의과대학 부속 목동병원 치과진료부 치주과에 내원한 환자 중 본원에서 임플란트를 식립하고 보철수복을 시행한 환자 422명(853개 임플란트)에 대한 의료기록과 방사선 사진을 바탕으로 임플란트 주위염의 유병률을 조사하고 임플란트 주위염에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요소와의 연관성을 분석하였다. 각 위험요소와 임플란트 주위염의 통계적 연관성을 분석하기 위해 일반화 추정방정식(generalized estimation equations, GEE)을 사용하여 각 변수들과 임플란트 주위염의 발생 사이 상관관계를 평가하였다. 또한 관찰 기간 중 임플란트 주위염의 누적 유병률은 Kaplan Meier Method를 사용하였다. 결과: 임플란트 주위염

The edentulous posterior maxilla generally provides a limited amount of bone height because of atrophy of the ridge and pneumatization of the maxillary sinus. Maxillary sinus augmentation is one of the surgical techniques for reconstruction of the severely resorbed posterior maxilla. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survival rate of implants and the long-term changes of graft height after maxillary sinus augmentation by lateral window approach. From September 1996 to July 2004, maxi

This study was to evaluate the effects of oral health education conducted on air force personnel according to the use of disclosing solution. They were divided into 3 groups: Group A: oral health education was not conducted, Group B: oral health education was conducted without using disclosing solution, and Group C: oral health education was conducted using disclosing solution. The subjects who had not participated in the education at least once were excluded, and the remaining 83 subjects recei

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the osteoconductivity of hydroxyapatite particles (HAP) as a carrier for Escherichia coli-derived recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (ErhBMP-2). Two 8-mm diameter bicortical calvarial defects were created in each of 20 rabbits. One of each pair of defects was randomly assigned to be filled with HAP only (HAP group) or ErhBMP-2 loaded HAP (ErhBMP-2/HAP group), while the other defect was left untreated (control group). The animals were

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of human freeze-dried bone block (FDBB) and deproteinized bovine bone with collagen (DBBC) on bone formation when applied as an onlay graft in rat calvariums. Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats received collagen sponge (control), FDBB, or DBBC onlay grafts trimmed into 8-mm disks measuring 4-mm height. Each graft was secured onto the calvarium surface using horizontal mattress sutures. Rats in each group were killed at 2 (n=5) or 8 (n=5) weeks postop

The objective of this study was to identify bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) awareness and experience level of patients by medical doctors who prescribes bisphosphonate being used, analyze dental examination referral reality and to utilize its result as basic education data for early diagnosis of BRONJ and its prevention. The study was carried out through a self-administered questionnaire distributed among a sample 192 residents and specialists. They belonged to family med

Purpose: In the anterior maxilla, hard and soft tissue augmentations are sometimes requiredto meet esthetic and functional demands. In such cases, primary soft tissue closureafter bone grafting procedures is indispensable for a successful outcome. This report describesa simple method for soft tissue coverage of a guided bone regeneration (GBR) siteusing the double-rotated palatal subepithelial connective tissue graft (RPSCTG) techniquefor a maxillary anterior defect. Methods: We present a 60-yea

Purpose: The purpose of this randomized single-blind controlled trial was to elucidate theclinical and antimicrobial effects of daily phototherapy (PT) as an adjunct to scaling androot planing (SRP) in patients with chronic periodontitis. Methods: The study was conducted from December 2013 to May 2014 at Ewha WomansUniversity Mokdong Hospital, Seoul, Korea. Forty-one patients with mild to moderatechronic periodontitis were randomly divided into two therapeutic groups in a 1:1 ratio:SRP+PT and SR

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an onlay graft of human freeze dried corticocancellousbone block (FDBB) on bone formation and the added effects of collagen membrane (CM) in rat calvarium. Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with either collagen sponge (CS), FDBB or FDBB with CM. FDBBswere placed on the calvarium surface with the CM covered or not. Rats were sacrificed at 2 and 8 weeks after surgeryfor histologic and histomorphometric analysis. At each period, tota

Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) play an important role in the regeneration of periodontium. The healing potential of PDLCs may be due to the high concentration of growth factors in platelet-rich plasma (PRP). In this study, the effects of PRP on the proliferation and activation of PDLCs and growth factor release from PDLCs were investigated. PDLCs were isolated from third molars or premolars of healthy patients. Whole blood was obtained from healthy volunteers for the preparation of activated

Purpose: During guided bone regeneration procedures for the augmentation of deficient alveolar ridge, primary closure of flap is necessary. For primary flap closure, flap is repositioned coronally and the zone of attached keratinized mucosa may decreased. The need for attached keratinized mucosa around dental implants is still controversial, but sufficient peri-implant attached keratinized mucosa would be beneficial for functional and esthetic aspects. This case report presents three cases that
