O uso de rhBMP-2 para aumento ósseo maxilar: relato de caso clínico

The bone resorption in the anterior maxilla, due to its aesthetic importance, can be considered one of the challenges in implant dentistry. Autogenous bone graft is the most indicated bone augmentation procedure, aiming an implant supported rehabilitation.. Alternatively, some other graft procedures can be done with homogenous and xenogenous bone graft, biomaterials and different associations. Additionally to the mentioned biomaterials, the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), specially the rhBMP-2, which was characterized as a bone osteoinductor, and consecutively, a potential autogenous graft substitute, with previsibility and no necessity of association to other biomaterial. The objective of this study is to present a single case using the rhBMP-2 for bone augmentation.

Healing at mandibular block-grafted sites: an experimental study in dogs

AimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the healing of autologous bone block grafts or deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) block grafts applied concomitantly with collagen membranes for horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation.Material and methodsIn six Labrador dogs, molars were extracted bilaterally, the buccal bony wall was removed, and a buccal box-shaped defect created. After 3months, a bony block graft was harvested from the right ascending ramus of the mandible and reduced to a standardized size. A DBBM block was tailored to similar dimensions. The two blocks were secured with screws onto the buccal wall of the defects in the right and left sides of the mandible, respectively. Resorbable membranes were applied at both sides, and the flaps sutured. After 3months, one implant was installed in each side of the mandible, in the interface between grafts and parent bone. After 3months, biopsies were harvested and ground sections prepared to reveal a 6-month healing period of the grafts.Results776.2% and 5.9 +/- 7.5% of vital mineralized bone were found at the autologous bone and DBBM block graft sites, respectively. Moreover, at the DBBM site, 63 +/- 11.7% of connective tissue and 31 +/- 15.5% of DBBM occupied the area analyzed. Only 0.2 +/- 0.4% of DBBM was found in contact with newly formed bone. The horizontal loss was in a mean range of 0.9-1.8mm, and 0.3-0.8mm, at the autologous bone and DBBM block graft sites, respectively.ConclusionsAutologous bone grafts were vital and integrated to the parent bone after 6months of healing. In contrast, DBBM grafts were embedded into connective tissue, and only a limited amount of bone was found inside the scaffold of the biomaterial.

Alorreatividade dos enxertos ósseos homólogos na reconstrução alveolar em humanos

Enxerto ósseo homólogo é utilizado independentemente da compatibilidade HLA entre doador e receptor ou uso de drogas imunossupressoras. Considerando o volume de transplantes ósseos realizados no Brasil e o possível efeito deletério da sensibilização HLA para o transplante de órgãos sólidos, este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a alorreatividade do enxerto ósseo homólogo fresco-congelado utilizado na reconstrução alveolar com finalidade de reabilitação oral com prótese sobre implantes. Anticorpos anti-HLA e anti-MICA foram monitorados através do teste Labscreen Mixed, nos intervalos 0, 7, 30, 90 e 180 pós transplante ósseo em 15 pacientes (6 homens e 9 mulheres, idade média 58,1, DP=10,1) que estavam em tratamento no Instituto de Odontologia da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro. Caso resultado do teste Mixed fosse positivo (Razão de fundo normatizado, NBG>4,5) o teste Labscreen Single (tecnologia antígeno único por pérola, SABA) era realizado para verificar se os anticorpos anti-HLA eram específicos ao doador. Nenhum paciente relatou transplante prévio, 4 relataram transfusão prévia e todas as mulheres relataram gravidez. Dez pacientes não apresentaram reação positiva no dia 0 sendo considerados não sensibilizados previamente (NSP); destes, 6 pacientes permaneceram sem nenhuma evidência de sensibilização, 2 pacientes apresentaram reação positiva para Classe I e II; 2 para Classe I apenas; e 2 para MICA, sendo considerados sensibilizados pelo enxerto ósseo oral. Dois pacientes apresentaram aumento de Intensidade Média de Fluorescência (ΔMFI>1000) de anticorpos específicos ao doador para Classe I e Classe II, e 2 somente para Classe II, demonstrando uma reação específica ao doador. Os resultados sugerem uma alorreatividade HLA oscilatória ao enxerto ósseo homólogo em reconstruções alveolares, confirmada pela formação de anticorpos anti-HLA específicos ao doador em 4 pacientes (27%) da amostra.

Ridge Preservation With Acellular Dermal Matrix and Anorganic Bone Matrix Cell-Binding Peptide P-15 After Tooth Extraction in Humans

Background: Preventing ridge collapse with the extraction of maxillary anterior teeth is vital to an esthetic restorative result. Several regenerative techniques are available and are used for socket preservation. The aim of this study is to analyze by clinical parameters the use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) and anorganic bovine bone matrix (ABM) with synthetic cell-binding peptide P-15 to preserve alveolar bone after tooth extraction. Methods: Eighteen patients in need of extraction of maxillary anterior teeth were selected and randomly assigned to the test group (ADM plus ABM/P-15) or the control group (ADM only). Clinical measurements were recorded initially and at 6 months after ridge-preservation procedures. Results: In the clinical measurements (external vertical palatal measurement [EVPM], external vertical buccal measurement [EVBM], and alveolar horizontal measurement [AHM]) the statistical analysis showed no difference between test and control groups initially and at 6 months. The intragroup analysis, after 6 months, showed a statistically significant reduction in the measurements for both groups. In the comparison between the two groups, the differences in the test group were as follows: EVPM = 0.83 +/- 1.53 mm; EVBM = 1.20 +/- 2.02 mm; and AHM = 2.53 +/- 1.81 mm. The differences in the control group were as follows: EVPM = 0.87 +/- 1.13 mm; EVBM = 1.50 +/- 1.15 mm; and AHM = 3.40 +/- 1.39 mm. The differences in EVPM and EVBM were not statistically significant; however, in horizontal measurement (AHM), there was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study show that ADM used as membrane associated with ABM/P-15 can be used to reduce buccal-palatal dimensions compared to ADM alone for preservation of the alveolar ridge after extraction of anterior maxillary teeth.

Correção de colapsos da crista alveolar com tecidos duros

Introdução: Uma adequada planificação é condição sine qua non para o êxito do tratamento com implantes. No entanto, nem sempre a colocação dos implantes na posição tridimensional ideal é, logo à partida, viável. Neste contexto, a correção dos colapsos da crista óssea com tecidos duros assume especial importância. Objetivos: O objetivo desta revisão narrativa é avaliar a eficácia dos diversos procedimentos existentes para aumento do rebordo com tecidos duros, de forma a facilitar a escolha do tratamento ideal. Materiais e Métodos: Pesquisou-se nas bases de dados MEDLINE, B-on e Google Académico. As palavras-chave utilizadas foram: “guided bone regeneration”, “ridge augmentation”, “seibert classification”, “alveolar bone splitting”, “horizontal bone augmentation” e “vertical bone augmentation”. Deu-se especial ênfase a revisões sistemáticas e meta-análises. A pesquisa foi limitada a artigos publicados em inglês, espanhol e em português até abril de 2016. Foram ainda consultados os livros “Tratado de Periodontia Clínica e Implantologia Oral” de Lindhe et al. (2005), “Implantes Dentais Contemporâneos” de Misch et al. (2009) e “Reabilitação com implantes endo-ósseos” de Alcoforado et al. (2008). Resultados: De um modo geral, todos os procedimentos analisados obtiveram altas taxas de sobrevivência aquando da reabilitação com implantes. No entanto, não houve diferenças significativas entre as diversas técnicas que possam levar a uma conclusão relevante sobre qual a melhor técnica a utilizar para este tipo de procedimento. Conclusão: Há evidências insuficientes para sugerir qual a técnica que deve ser preferida para o aumento de rebordo com tecidos duros, pelo que mais estudos são necessários.

Estudo clínico prospectivo das modificações da borda alveolar inferior após projeção ortodôntica em tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico

A projeção de incisivos e expansão dos arcos dentários são uma alternativa valiosa à extração dentária, especialmente quando se considera a estética facial em pacientes adultos. O efeito da projeção ortodôntica dos incisivos inferiores sobre o periodonto é controverso devido às avaliações em exames bidimensionais e os aspectos multi-fatoriais que envolvem as recessões gengivais. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar as modificações na altura da borda alveolar dos dentes ântero-inferiores de pacientes, que foram submetidos à projeção ortodôntica, com pacientes tratados sem projeção; e correlacionar estas modificações com o grau de inclinação dentária, com as alterações da distância bicanina e com o biotipo gengival. Pacientes adultos com mais de 3 mm de falta de espaço no arco inferior e curva de Spee moderada ou acentuada compuseram o grupo experimental (n=15). O grupo controle (n=7) consistiu de pacientes com bons arcos inferiores, que não necessitavam de grandes movimentos dentários. Estes pacientes foram submetidos a alinhamento e nivelamento dentário até o fio de aço .020". Tomografias computadorizadas de feixe cônico (TCFC) foram obtidas antes do tratamento e ao final da fase de alinhamento e nivelamento. As alturas das bordas alveolares (BA) de incisivos e caninos inferiores foram medidas nas TCFC em reconstruções 3D e comparadas entre os grupos e entre os tempos pelos testes-t de Student não pareado e pareado, respectivamente. As BA foram correlacionadas com o grau de inclinação dentária (IMPA), com a distância intercaninos (DIC) e com o biotipo gengival (BG) pelo teste de correlação de Pearson. Os resultados demonstraram que os caninos inferiores do grupo experimental apresentaram perda óssea significativa (p<0,005), quando comparados com o grupo controle, em média 2,5 mm. As BA dos dentes 43, 33 e 32 ao final do alinhamento e nivelamento eram significativamente maiores do que ao início do tratamento no grupo experimental (p<0,001). Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre as medidas iniciais e finais das BA de todos os dentes do grupo controle. Apesar destes resultados, não foram encontradas correlações entre a remodelação da BA e o IMPA, a DIC e o BG. Pode-se concluir que o aumento no comprimento do arco inferior com arcos ortodônticos contínuos aumenta a inclinação dos incisivos inferiores e a DIC. O aumento da DIC parece exercer maior efeito sobre a BA dos caninos inferiores do que a inclinação de incisivos sobre a BA dos incisivos inferiores. No entanto, as modificações da BA não estão associadas ao grau de inclinação dos incisivos, a quantidade de expansão do arco inferior e ao biotipo gengival.

Flabby Ridge Correction Using an Auxiliary Technique With Connective Tissue Graft

A common finding in patients with edentulous maxilla and partially dentate mandible is mainly the presence of flabbiness in the anterior edentulous alveolar ridge that can compromise the retention and stability of a denture. Thus, this case report presents the correction of a flabby ridge, using an auxiliary technique combining surgical excision and autogenous connective tissue grafting. The technique improved the quality of the osteomucosal support of the alveolar ridge and increased the vestibule deepness, whose result increased the success rate of the new conventional total prosthesis.

Influence of Ridge Inclination and Implant Localization on the Association of Mandibular Kennedy Class I Removable Partial Denture

The aim of this study was to evaluate the tendency of displacement of the supporting structures of the distal extension removable partial denture (DERPD) associated to the implant with different inclinations of alveolar ridge and implant localizations through a two-dimensional finite-element method. Sixteen mandibular models were fabricated, presenting horizontal, distally descending, distally ascending, or descending-ascending ridges. All models presented the left canine and were rehabilitated with conventional DERPD or implant-retained prosthesis with the ERA system. The models were obtained by the AutoCAD software and transferred to the finite-element software ANSYS 9.0 for analysis. A force of 50 N was applied on the cusp tips of the teeth, with 5 points of loading of 10 N. The results were visualized by displacement maps. For all ridge inclinations, the assembly of the DERPD with distal plate retained by an anterior implant exhibited the lowest requisition of the supporting structures. The highest tendency of displacement occurred in the model with distally ascending ridge with incisal rest. It was concluded that the association of the implant decreased the displacement of the DERPD, and the anterior positioning of the implant associated to the DERPD with the distal plate preserved the supporting structures for all ridges.

Alveolar process preservation at implants installed immediately into extraction sockets using deproteinized bovine bone mineral - an experimental study in dogs

Aim To evaluate the soft tissue and the dimensional changes of the alveolar bony crest at sites where deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) particles, concomitantly with the placement of a collagen membrane, were used at implants installed into sockets immediately after tooth extraction. Material and methods The pulp tissue of the mesial roots of 3P3 was removed in six Labrador dogs, and the root canals were filled. Flaps were elevated bilaterally, the premolars hemi-sectioned, and the distal roots removed. Recipient sites were prepared in the distal alveolus, and implants were placed. At the test sites, DBBM particles were placed in the residual marginal defects concomitantly with the placement of a collagen membrane. No treatment augmentation was performed at the control sites. A non-submerged healing was allowed. Impressions were obtained at baseline and at the time of sacrifice performed 4 months after surgery. The cast models obtained were analyzed using an optical system to evaluate dimensional variations. Block sections of the implant sites were obtained for histological processing and soft tissue assessments. Results After 4 months of healing, no differences in soft tissue dimensions were found between the test and control sites based on the histological assessments. The location of the soft tissue at the buccal aspect was, however, more coronal at the test compared with the control sites (1.8 +/- 0.8 and 0.9 +/- 0.8 mm, respectively). At the three-dimensional evaluation, the margin of the soft tissues at the buccal aspect appeared to be located more apically and lingually. The vertical dislocation was 1 +/- 0.6 and 2.7 +/- 0.5 mm at the test and control sites, respectively. The area of the buccal shrinkage of the alveolar crest was significantly smaller at the test sites (5.9 +/- 2.4 mm2) compared with the control sites (11.5 +/- 1.7 mm2). Conclusion The use of DBBM particles concomitantly with the application of a collagen membrane used at implants placed into sockets immediately after tooth extraction contributed to the preservation of the alveolar process.

Influence of ridge type on mandibular distal extension removable partial denture.

The aim of this study was to use photoelastic models to analyze the distribution of stress caused by the incidence of loads on a mandibular distal extension removable partial denture, both on the abutment teeth and on differently shaped residual ridges: distal ascending, descending-ascending, horizontal and distal descending. The best type of retainer and location of the rest on the last abutment tooth were determined for the different types of ridge. Four models were made from photoelastic resin (PL-1 for the teeth and PL-2 for the alveolar ridge), one for each kind of ridge. For each model, 4 removable partial dentures (RPD) were made (16 RPD altogether): T-bar retainer and distal rest, T-bar retainer and mesial rest, circumferential retainer and distal rest, and circumferential retainer and mesial rest. The models were placed on a circular polariscope and a 100 N axial load (point load) was applied to premolars and molars of the RPD. The formation of photoelastic bands was photographed for qualitative analysis. Results showed that the horizontal ridge had better distribution of stress, while the distal descending ridge had greater concentration of stress. The circumferential retainer had greater areas of stress for all types of ridges except the horizontal ridge, where there was no influence related to retainer type. The distribution of stress was similar among the different types of ridges when the rest was mesial or distal to the last abutment tooth, except for the distal descending ridge, where there was greater concentration of stress when the rest was located distally to the last abutment tooth. Thus, it may be concluded that (1) the situation was least favorable for the distal descending ridge and most favorable for the horizontal ridge, (2) the T-bar retainer had more favorable stress distribution, except when the ridge was horizontal, in which case there was no influence in relation to the type of retainer, (3) the location of the rest showed similar behavior in all except the distal descending ridge.
