Comparison between implants inserted into piezo split and unsplit alveolar crests.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: Piezoelectric surgery (PES) uses a modulated ultrasonic frequency that permits highly precise and safe hard tissue cutting. A retrospective study on a series of spiral family implants inserted with or without PES split crest was performed ... Read more...

Comparison of bipartite versus tripartite osteotomy for maxillary transversal expansion using 3-dimensional preoperative and postexpansion computed tomography data.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: To evaluate tripartite paramedian versus bipartite median osteotomy in surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion. Tripartite osteotomy was performed between the lateral incisors and canines at the former premaxillary junction to avoid ... Read more...

Bosch osteotomy and scarf osteotomy for hallux valgus correction.

29 Sep 2009 Minimally invasive distal metatarsal osteotomies are becoming broadly accepted for correction of hallux valgus. We compared the duration of surgery, the length of hospital stay, the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, and the ... Read more...
