Treatment of Atrophic Ridges with Titanium Mesh: A Retrospective Study Using 100% Mineralized Allograft and Comparing Dental Stone Versus 3D-Printed Models

El Chaar, Edgard; Urtula, Adolf B; Georgantza, Aiketrini; Cruz, Stephanie; Fallah-Abed, Pooria; CastaƱo, Alejandro; Abitbol, Thierry; Warner, Michael M
This multicenter study retrospectively evaluated implant survival and bone growth in atrophic ridges that were augmented with titanium mesh and 100% mineralized solvent-dehydrated bone allografts (MSDBA). A secondary objective of this study was to evaluate differences in outcomes by diagnostic model type. Titanium mesh was shaped on a diagnostic wax-up of the patient's jaw: Twenty-three patients (Group 1) had wax-ups on dental stone models, and 16 patients (Group 2) had wax-ups on models fabricated with three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. Clinical and histologic data were analyzed. The average bone gain ranged from 5.94 to 6.91 mm horizontally and 5.76 to 6.99 mm vertically and was not significantly different between the two model groups (P > .05). Implant survival was 100% after 18 to 48 months. Although model type had no significant influence on outcomes, 3D-printed models allowed for faster surgery and served as visual aids for patient education.

Localized osteomyelitis following a restorative procedure [Case Report]

Abitbol, T E; Santi, E
This case report describes a localized interproximal soft-tissue lesion in the anterior maxillary area that may have been caused by a composite curing light. Following clinical examination and histological analysis, the diagnosis of acute osteomyelitis was made. Palliative treatment and debridement resulted in complete resolution.

Influence of root anatomy on periodontal disease

Abitbol, T; LoPresti, J; Santi, E
One of the essential elements of periodontal therapy is long-term maintenance. Anatomic factors that favor localized plaque accumulation may contribute to the progression of disease. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the influence of root concavities on the severity of furcation involvement. Measurements were recorded clinically at the time of surgical treatment. Statistical analysis revealed no significant association between the degree of root concavity and the severity of furcation involvement

The use of a resin ionomer in the regenerative treatment of an interproximal lesion: a case report [Case Report]

Santi, E; Abitbol, T; Scherer, W; Palat, M
This article documents the clinical observations made in the course of a surgical procedure in which a resin ionomer was used as a barrier for guided tissue regeneration. The results indicate that this material appears to demonstrate potential in such procedures.

Regenerative periodontal therapy in mucogingival surgery for root coverage [Case Report]

Abitbol, T; Santi, E; Urbani, G
This article illustrates the potential benefits of regenerative periodontal therapy in mucogingival surgery and esthetic dental treatment. Cases are described in which the treatment of soft-tissue recessions and root exposures are treated with surgical procedures where both clinical soft-tissue augmentation and the regeneration of periodontal attachment are obtained. Cases are also presented to illustrate the clinical application of guided tissue regeneration. Resorbable and nonresorbable barriers are placed over the root surface and bone and covered by the overlying flap, which allows the selective repopulation of the lesion by progenitor cells and the inhibition of a long junctional epithelium. Emphasis is placed on regenerative procedures in soft-tissue augmentation, particularly with respect to rationales, techniques, and indications.

Surgical treatment of nifedipine-induced gingival hyperplasia. A case report [Case Report]

Abitbol, T E; Rosenfeld-Abitbol, M
A surgical technique for treating nifedipine-induced gingival hyperplasia is described. A brief overview of nifedipine (trade name Procardia) is given, along with its use in the treatment of hypertension and its side effects, particularly as they relate to the induction of gingival hyperplasia. A detailed description and rationale for the surgical excision of the hyperplastic gingival tissue with a flap approach is given. A case is presented to illustrate the technique and post treatment results.

Atypical frenum formation at the donor site after mucogingival flap surgery [Case Report]

Abitbol, T E; Santi, E
The following case report illustrates the potential for the formation of a mucogingival problem in the form of a frenum at the donor site for a laterally positioned flap. Corrective surgery and suggestions to prevent complications at the donor site are discussed.

Using a resin-ionomer in guided tissue regenerative procedures: technique and application--case reports [Case Report]

Abitbol, T; Santi, E; Scherer, W; Palat, M
The purpose of these case reports is to introduce a potential use for a resin-ionomer in guided tissue regeneration. The resin-ionomer is used in a two-fold manner (1) to lute an e-PTFE membrane in place in furcation defects and (2) to act as a barrier itself in furcation and infrabony defects. Clinical observations made in this report indicate that a resin-ionomer barrier may be placed subgingivally without sutures. In addition, the resin-ionomer, given its ability to release fluoride, may serve as a delivery system for local antimicrobial therapy during the initial stages of wound healing. Further studies should be conducted in order to evaluate the potential of the resin-ionomer for the uses described in this article.
