Interpositional osteotomy for posterior mandible ridge augmentation.

30 Oct 2009 This report reviewed the published data concerning different methods for vertical augmentation of the posterior mandible for implant placement. The main purpose was to compare and contrast the different treatment methods, with a more detailed review ... Read more...

A novel approach to palatomaxillary reconstruction: use of radial forearm free tissue transfer combined with zygomaticus implants.

30 Oct 2009 Pathologic resections involving the maxilla/hemimaxilla offer a unique reconstructive challenge to the maxillofacial reconstructive surgeon. Traditionally, reconstruction and replacement of lost tissues have been achieved with a variety of methods ... Read more...

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...
