Posterior Tooth Replacement with Dental Implants in Sites Augmented with rhBMP-2 at Time of Extraction— A Case Series
This case series demonstrates seven molar-site implants placed in six consecutively treated patients. All sites were augmented with rhBMP-2 (1.50 mg/cc)/ACS (recombi- nant human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2/Absorbable Collagen Sponge) at extraction to regenerate bone-facil- itating implant placement. In four patients, osteotomies were initiated with trephines to evaluate qualitatively for native bone and for the absence of residual ACS.Barry P. Levin, DMD; and Peter Tawil, DDS -
Sinus Floor Elevation Using a Bovine Bone Mineral (Bio-Oss) With or Without the Concomitant Use of a Bilayered Collagen Barrier (Bio-Gide): A Clinical Report of Immediate and Delayed Implant Placement
Xenografts have been used extensively, either alone or in combination with autogenous bone, in sinus floor elevation techniques. However, controversy exists regarding the need to cover the lateral osteotomy site with a membrane. Also, the healing period before loading remains undefined when machined-surface implants are placed. Twenty-nine patients showing reduced bone volume in the pos- terior maxilla had 61 Brånemark System implants placed in 30 sinuses augmented with a lateral osteotomy approachGeorges Tawil, DDS, D SC OD/Muhieddine Mawla, DCD, DES -
Clinical Evaluation of a Bilayered Collagen Membrane (Bio-Gide) Supported by Autografts in the Treatment of Bone Defects Around Implants
The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of a bioresorbable collagen membrane (Bio-Gide) in combination with autogenous bone grafts in the treatment of peri-implant dehiscences, fenestra- tions, or limited vertical defects. Eighteen titanium dental implants with exposed threads placed in 17 patients were studied. Autogenous bone was used in all cases to fill the defect and maintain the space underneath the barrier.Georges Tawil, DDS, DSc, OD/Georgina El-Ghoule, DDS/Muhieddine Mawla, DCD, DES -
Sinus Floor Elevation Using the Lateral Approach and Bone Window Repositioning I: Clinical and Radiographic Results in 102 Consecutively Treated Patients Followed from 1 to 5 Years
Purpose: To determine the potential complications and clinical outcomes using the lateral sinus elevation technique with window repositioning.Georges Tawil, DDS, DSc Od/Peter Tawil, DDS, MSc/Alexandre Khairallah, DDS -
Evaluation of Three-Dimensional Volumetric Changes After Sinus Floor Augmentation with Mineralized Cortical Bone Allograft
Abstract Aim The aim of this retrospective study was to quantify three-dimensional (3D) volumetric bone changes over a two-year period in maxillary sinuses augmented with a mineralized cortical bone allograft material (MCBA) material.Antoine Berberi, Lea Bouserhal, Nabih Nader, Rita Bou Assaf , Nayla Bassil Nassif , Joseph Bouserhal, Ziad Salameh -
Comparison of Morbidity and Complications of Harvesting Bone from the Iliac Crest and Calvarium: A Retrospective Study
Background: The aim of this retrospective clinical study was to compare the complications after the harvest of bone from the iliac crest and the calvarium.Fawzi Riachi, Nada Naaman , Carine Tabarani , Antoine Berberi , Ziad Salameh -
Horizontal and Vertical Reconstruction of the Severely Resorbed Maxillary Jaw Using Subantral Augmentation and a Novel Tenting Technique with Bone from the Lateral Buccal Wall
Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of using the lateral wall bone in sinus lifting two-dimensional reconstruction on bone augmentation.Antoine Berberi, Nabih Nader, Ziad Noujeim, Alessandro Scardina, Angelo Leone, Ziad Salameh -
Sinus Floor Elevation Using the Lateral Approach and Window Repositioning and a Xenogeneic Bone Substitute as a Grafting Material: A Histologic, Histomorphometric, and Radiographic Analysis
Sinus floor elevation using the lateral approach and bone window repositioning and a xenogeneic bone substitute (Cerabone) has been well documented clinically.
