Mandibular bone loss after masticatory muscles intervention with botulinum toxin: An approach from basic research to clinical findings
(MDPI AG, 2019)
The injection of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) in the masticatory muscles, to cause its temporary paralysis, is a widely used intervention for clinical disorders such as oromandibular dystonia, sleep bruxism, and aesthetics ...
Maxillary alveolar ridge atrophy reconstructed with autogenous bone graft harvested from the proximal ulna
(2018-01-01)
Atrophy of the alveolar ridge requires bone grafting at the implant site for rehabilitation of the masticatory function with dental implants. Despite the advances in the development of bone substitutes, autogenous bone ...
Masseter muscle atrophy impairs bone quality of the mandibular condyle but not the alveolar process early after induction
(2019)
Background Masseter muscle function influences mandibular bone homeostasis. As previously reported, bone resorption markers increased in the mouse mandibular condyle two days after masseter paralysis induced with botulinum ...
The correlation of different methods for the assessment of bone quality in vivo: an observational study
(2022-03-01)
Different methods for the assessment of bone quality were evaluated in this study. Sixty alveolar bone areas were investigated. Peri-apical and panoramic radiographs were obtained with an aluminium scale to assess optical ...
Failure of maxillary reconstruction with freeze-dried bone allograft
(2016-01-01)
Bone reconstruction to reestablish bone width and height is required in case of bone atrophy. A 45-year-old white woman was referred to the oral clinical surgery of Aracatuba Dental School, University Estadual Paulista-UNESP, ...
Computer-guided implant placement associated with computer-aided bone regeneration in the treatment of atrophied partially edentulous alveolar ridges: A proof-of-concept study
(2020-01-01)
Background/purpose: The existing literature lacks information regarding the use of digital workflows during pre-surgical planning of implant rehabilitations in resorbed edentulous ridges. Thus, the aim was to evaluate the ...
Caspase inhibitor attenuates the shape changes in the alveolar ridge following tooth extraction: a pilot study in rats
(Wiley, 2020)
Objective The aim of the study was to determine whether the inhibition of apoptosis via pan-caspase inhibitors can attenuate the changes in the alveolar ridge upon tooth extraction. Background Cells undergoing apoptosis ...
Scientific evidence on the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) in oral and maxillofacial surgery
(2016-09-01)
Purpose: This study aimed to identify the main indications for the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) for bone repair and maintenance in the maxilla and mandible through a review of clinical ...

(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019)
© 2018 John Wiley & Sons LtdBackground: Masseter muscle function influences mandibular bone homeostasis. As previously reported, bone resorption markers increased in the mouse mandibular condyle two days after masseter ...
