To determine the association between nonextraction clear aligner therapy and the presence of alveolar bone defects, CBCT images from 29 adults were obtained before and immediately after therapy. From ...

Scientists have developed an osteogenic barrier coating material that maximizes the effect of guided bone regeneration (GBR) for implant placements. One of the key factors of success in a dental ...

Alveolar bone, the specialized tissue within the jawbone, plays an important role in periodontal health. This tissue has a remarkable capacity of bone remodeling in response to mechanical stimuli like ...

It is becoming increasingly clear that the human microbiome – the collection of bacteria, viruses and fungi that live on and within us – significantly contributes to our health. Indeed, several recent ...

Researchers have found in a new study that the modified socket shield technique without immediate implant placement may help protect against post-extraction bone remodeling, especially in ...
