Abstract
Both the composition and architecture of artificial bone govern bone regeneration. Herein, carbonate apatite (CAp), which has a similar mineral composition to bone, was prepared by immersing calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in a phosphate solution with varying acidification levels (pH 6.0) to pH 8.9, to reveal the influence of pH on the composition and architecture of the resultant CAp granules. The composition, crystal morphology, and architecture of resultant CAp granules was well-characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, mercury intrusion porosimetry and so on. Consequently, the rate of compositional transformation from CaCO3 to CAp was much higher at pH 6.0 and pH 7.0 than pH 8.0 and pH 8.9. The pH of the phosphate solution did not affect the macroarchitecture of the resultant CAp granules. In contrast, the composition, crystal morphology, microarchitecture, and degradation behavior of the resultant CAp granules were affected by pH of the phosphate solution. In particular, the open-pore distributions and volumes of the CAp granules prepared at pH 6.0-8.9 were changed to reflect the microarchitecture of the samples. Therefore, this study revealed that the pH-controlled elution precipitation reaction is useful for controlling the composition, crystal morphology, microarchitecture, and degradation behavior of the resultant CAp, while preserving its macroarchitecture. Our findings provide fundamental insights into the design of artificial bones for bone regeneration.

Association of the Osseodensification Technique with Soft Tissue Substitute in a Limitrophe Edentulous Area: A Clinical Case Report with 5-Year Follow-Up. Case Rep Dent 2024; 2024:6509451. [PMID: 38348345 PMCID: PMC10861280 DOI: 10.1155/2024/6509451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/15/2024] Open
Abstract
The osseodensification (OD) technique differs from conventional milling for dental implant installation in that it preserves the prepared bone and compacts it toward the apex and lateral walls of the socket, resulting in bone compaction. By enabling autografting, bone expansion, and high implant insertion torques, OD has become an increasingly popular option. The aim of this clinical case report is to demonstrate the predictability of combining OD with guided bone and tissue regeneration (GBR/GTR) techniques for bone expansion in the maxilla with reduced thickness, while avoiding other reconstructive surgeries. The report presents the treatment of a 32-year-old female patient who had cosmetic concerns regarding the anterior maxillary region. The patient was using an adhesive prosthesis with pontic on tooth 13 fixed between teeth 12 and 14. After the case was planned, it was decided that bone expansion in the region would be performed using the OD technique. The implant installation (AR Torque, 3.5 × 11.5 mm, Conexão®) and guided bone regeneration (GBR) were done with the assistance of L-PRF (Stick Bone, associated with L-PRF membrane). Following the osseointegration period, a provisional resin crown was fabricated, and a collagen matrix membrane (Mucoderm®) was used to increase vestibular soft tissue volume and shape the patient's gingival profile. After a period of 120 days, the final crown was created and observed for a span of 5 years. The results showed stability of the case along with maintaining its esthetic and satisfactory function. The use of the osseodensification technique coupled with a connective tissue graft substitute has been anticipated for a long time. It has proven to be an excellent alternative to autogenous grafts.

Abstract
Purpose A buccal bone thickness (BBT) of at least 1.8-2 mm is necessary to ensure long-term implant stability, and a bone grafting procedure is commonly needed to restore this BBT. This study aims to prove the effectiveness of a novel bone augmentation technique in which minero-organic bone substitutes are solely used to restore adequate BBT, excluding the need for coverage membranes. Methods Fifty partially edentulous patients having a residual bone width ranging between 5 and 6 mm were enrolled in this study. The horizontal buccal defects were grafted simultaneously at implant placement. Minero-organic collagen bovine bone blocks (CBBB) were placed on the outer side of the buccal bone wall, and adapted to the defect morphology through slow compressive movements. The grafted sites were not covered with any type of membrane nor stabilized with fixation pins. Cone-beam computed tomography scans were obtained pre-operatively, immediately post-surgery, and four months later. Scans were superimposed on the ITK-Snap software to measure the amount of bone gain and assess the percentage of CBBB resorption. Measurements were effectuated at four different levels apically to crestal level. Results Radiographic findings showed BBT increase and CBBB resorption in all cases, four months post-grafting. A mean horizontal bone gain of 1.39 mm was calculated at a crestal level. Conclusion Based on these findings, it appears that this novel and user-friendly bone grafting technique can achieve positive outcomes from both clinical and radiographic perspectives.

Abstract
Vertical and horizontal reconstruction of the alveolar ridge, especially in the anterior maxilla, is considered a clinical challenge for dentists. There is still a lack of a standard technique to address the hurdles in 3-dimensional bone regeneration in the anterior maxilla. In this clinical feasibility study, we aimed to modify Khoury's technique by combining the conventional guided bone regeneration standards with the principles of this technique. The autogenous bone blocks were harvested from the retromolar area and grafted into the deficient anterior maxillae by mini-screws, and the gap was filled with xenogenic bone particles. The grafted site was covered with multilayered resorbable collagen membranes. Cone-beam computerized tomographic scans were obtained at the 6-month follow-ups, and the changes in ridge width and height were measured. Five subjects with multiple missing teeth at the anterior maxilla were included. The radiographic outcomes of the 6-month follow-ups revealed 1.2 mm of height and 3.5 mm of width gain. Between the 4- and 6-month visits, approximately 2 mm resorption in height and 0.3 mm in width occurred. No complications occurred. The proposed modification for Khoury's technique can serve as a feasible method in the 3-dimensional reconstruction of the anterior maxilla without additional autogenous bone particles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the quantity and quality of bone in the newly formed edentulous area produced by the orthodontic implant site-switching technique. METHODS The bilateral maxillary first premolars of five beagle dogs were extracted and bone defects were created. The right and left sides of the maxilla were randomly divided into control and experimental sides. On the experimental side, the maxillary second premolar was mesially moved into the position of the missing first premolar. On the control side, the second maxillary premolar was extracted. Six months later, the beagles were euthanized. Microcomputer tomography was used to analyze bone microstructure parameters, alveolar bone height and alveolar bone width of the regenerated bone. Histological analysis was performed by staining tissue sections with toluidine blue. RESULTS Median BV/TV values in the experimental group (81.78%) were significantly larger than those in the control group (35.67%; p = 0.04). Median Tb.Sp values in the experimental group (0.14 mm) were significantly lower than those in the control group (0.54 mm; p = 0.04). Median Tb.Th values in the experimental group (0.48 mm) were significantly higher than those in the control group (0.21 mm; p = 0.04). Median Tb.Pf values in the experimental group (0.65/mm) were significantly lower than those in the control group (3.15/mm; p = 0.04). There was no significant difference in the trabecular number (Tb.N) between the two groups (p = 0.23). The median alveolar bone height values in the experimental group (-0.81 mm) were significantly higher than those in the control group (-2.11 mm; p = 0.04) at a distance 5 mm from the mesial CEJ of the third premolar. The median alveolar bone height values in the experimental group (0.45 mm) were significantly higher than those in the control group (-1.70 mm; p = 0.04) at a distance 6 mm from the mesial CEJ of the third premolar. There was no significant difference in alveolar bone width when compared between the two groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The newly formed edentulous area created by orthodontic treatment had more compact and thicker trabeculae than the extraction socket. Furthermore, the newly formed edentulous area had a greater alveolar bone height available for the placement of implants.

[PMID: 36574768 DOI: 10.1111/jcpe.13764] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
AIM Alveolar ridge resorption following tooth extraction often renders a lateral bone augmentation inevitable. Some patients, however, suffer from severe early (during graft healing, Eres ) and/or late (during follow-up, Lres ) graft resorption. We explored the hypothesis that the "individual phenotypic dimensions" may partially explain the degree of such resorptions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent a guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedure were screened for inclusion according to the following criteria: (1) a relatively symmetrical maxillary arch; (2) an intact contra-lateral alveolar bone dimension; (3) the availability of a pre-operative cone-beam CT (CBCT); (4) a CBCT taken immediately after GBR, and (5) at least one CBCT scan ≥6 months after surgery. CBCT scans from different timepoints were registered and imported into the Mimics software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Bone dimensions of the contra-lateral site of the augmentation, representing the "individual phenotypical dimension (IPD) of the alveolar crest", were superimposed on the augmented site and registered accordingly. As such, Eres and Lres could be measured over time, in relation to the IPD (in two dimensions; per millimetre apically from the alveolar crest, in the centre of the GBR), as well as in three dimensions (the entire GBR, 2 mm away from the mesial, distal, and apical border for standardization). RESULTS A total of 17 patients (23 augmented sites) were included. After Eres , the outline of the augmentation was in general located ±1 mm outside the IPD, but ≥1.5 years after GBR, it further moved towards the IPD (85% within 0.5 mm distance). CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this study, the results indicate that the dimensions of a lateral bone augmentation are defined by the "individual phenotypic bone boundaries" of the patient.

Evaluation of bone gain in horizontal ridge augmentation using titanium mesh in combination with different flap advancement techniques: a randomized clinical trial. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2023; 52:379-387.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the clinical and radiographic bone gain in guided bone regeneration with titanium mesh, for four different advancement techniques: periosteal releasing incision (PRI), double flap incision (DFI), modified periosteal releasing incision (MPRI), and coronally advanced lingual flap (CALF). Forty patients with a partially edentulous mandible were allocated randomly to four study groups (PRI, DFI, MPRI, CALF; 10 patients in each). Clinical bone gain (primary outcome) and radiographic bone gain were evaluated. In addition, correlations between study variables (clinical and radiographic bone gain, flap advancement, mesh exposure area and percentage exposure, pain, and swelling) were explored. CALF exhibited the highest mean clinical bone gain (4.12 ± 1.37 mm) and PRI the lowest (2.60 ± 1.36 mm); the mean clinical bone gain differed significantly among the groups (P < 0.001). The highest mean radiographic bone gain was seen in the CALF group (3.54 ± 1.65 mm) and the lowest in the PRI group (2.06 ± 1.11 mm); the mean radiographic bone gain also differed significantly among the groups (P < 0.001). The correlation analysis revealed positive correlations between flap advancement and radiographic bone gain (P = 0.003) and between swelling and pain (P = 0.007). An inverse correlation was found between flap advancement and swelling (P = 0.049), mesh exposure area and clinical bone gain (P = 0.022), and mesh exposure percentage and clinical bone gain (P = 0.017). In summary, the highest clinical and radiographic bone gain was observed for CALF, while the lowest was observed for PRI.

Abstract
Aim Alveolar deficiency is considered one of the main limitations for placement of osseointegrated implants, as well as for their long-term success, especially in the anterior region of the maxilla. Objective To report a clinical case of reconstruction of atrophic maxilla with deproteinized bovine bone associated with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and titanium mesh and to assess the linear and volumetric bone gains and rehabilitation with implants in a 5-year follow-up. Case Patient with bone deficiency in the anterior maxilla region underwent bone reconstruction with deproteinized bovine bone associated with PRF and titanium mesh. After six months, the necessary bone height and volume were obtained for placement of implants, and the bone contour was restored in the anterior region, providing functional and aesthetic improvement. The amount of linear and volumetric bone gains was compared to baseline computed tomography scans. Three implants were placed in the grafted region, and a bone tissue sample was obtained at the time of their placement. Histological analysis showed neo-formed bone tissue in contact with the remaining particles of the biomaterial. After six months, the implants were activated, and the prosthesis was placed on the implants, which were monitored for five years. Conclusion Implants can be placed predictably in regions with vertical and horizontal bone augmentations by using xenogeneic bone grafts associated with titanium mesh and PRF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The clinical outcomes of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) or guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedures can be impaired if a bacterial infection develops at the surgical site. Membrane exposure is one of the causes of the onset of bacterial infection. Previously, we have fabricated a poly(lactic acid/caprolactone) (PLCL) bilayer membrane composed of a porous layer and a compact layer. The compact layer acts as a barrier against connective tissue and epithelial cells, and we hypothesized that it could also be an effective barrier against bacterial cells. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of the PLCL bilayer membrane to block bacterial cell penetration, which would be useful for preventing postoperative infections. METHODS Porphyromonas gingivalis, Streptococcus mutans, and multispecies bacteria collected from human saliva were used in this study. Bacteria were seeded directly on the compact layer of a PLCL bilayer membrane, and bacterial adhesion to the membrane, as well as penetration into the membrane's structure, were assessed. Bacterial adhesion was evaluated by the number of colonies formed at 6, 24, and 72 h, and penetration was observed using a scanning electron microscope at 24 and 72 h. Commercially available membranes, composed of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) or type I collagen, were used as controls. RESULTS P. gingivalis, S. mutans, and the multispecies bacteria obtained from human saliva adhered onto all the membranes after only 6 h of incubation. However, fewer adherent cells were observed for the PLCL bilayer membrane compared with the controls for all experimental periods. The PLCL membrane was capable of blocking bacterial penetration, and no bacterial cells were observed in the structure. In contrast, bacteria penetrated both the control membranes and were observed at depths of up to 80 µm after 72 h of incubation. CONCLUSION Membrane characteristics may influence how bacterial colonization occurs. The PLCL membrane had reduced bacterial adhesion and blocked bacterial penetration, and these characteristics could contribute to a favorable outcome for regenerative treatments. In the event of membrane exposure at GTR/GBR surgical sites, membranes with an efficient barrier function, such as the PLCL bilayer membrane, could simplify the management of GTR/GBR complications.

Abstract
Background: Bone regeneration procedures represent a major challenge in oral surgery. This study aimed to evaluate a composite PRF/particulate xenograft in guided bone regeneration. Methods: Edentulous patients with horizontal ridge deficiencies in the anterior maxilla and candidates to an immediate-loading full-arch rehabilitation were included. Horizontal linear measurements indicating bone gain were assessed from computer beam computer tomography (CBCT) scans obtained at pre-surgery, post-surgery, and the 12-month follow-up. Mean bone values were presented as mean ± 95% CI. Non-parametric tests were used as appropriate, and the effect size was calculated with Cohen’s d repeated measures. Results: Eighteen patients were rehabilitated with 72 implants. The mean horizontal bone width was 4.47 [4.13–4.80] mm pre-surgically, 9.25 [8.76–9.75] mm post-surgically, and 7.71 [7.28–8.14] mm 12 months after. Conclusions: PRF associated with a xenograft seems to promote an effective horizontal bone gain. Randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm the benefits of this surgical approach.

Hard tissue stability after guided bone regeneration: a comparison between digital titanium mesh and resorbable membrane. Int J Oral Sci 2021; 13:37. [PMID: 34782595 PMCID: PMC8594427 DOI: 10.1038/s41368-021-00143-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2021] [Revised: 09/28/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) uses resorbable and non-resorbable membranes as biological barriers. This study compared the differences in hard tissue stability between GBR using evidence-based digital titanium mesh and resorbable collagen membranes during implant placement. A total of 40 patients (65 implant sites) were enrolled and divided into two groups: resorbable membrane and digital titanium mesh groups. The alveolar bone was analyzed at two- and three-dimensional levels using cone-beam computed tomography and by reconstructing and superimposing the hard tissues at four time points: preoperatively, postoperatively, before second-stage surgery, and 1 year after loading. The use of digital titanium mesh showed less alveolar bone resorption in vertical and horizontal directions two-dimensionally before the second-stage surgery and 1 year after loading. Regarding volumetric stability, the percentage of resorption after 6 months of healing with resorbable membrane coverage reached 37.5%. However, it was only 23.4% with titanium mesh. Although postoperative bone volume was greater at all labial sites with resorbable membrane than with digital titanium mesh, after substantial bone resorption within 1 year of loading, the labial bone thickness at the upper part of implants was thinner with resorbable membrane than with digital titanium mesh. Furthermore, digital titanium meshes made according to ideal bone arch contour reduced soft tissue irritation, and the exposure rate was only 10%. Therefore, although both resorbable membrane and digital titanium mesh in GBR were able to successfully reconstruct the bone defect, digital titanium meshes were better at maintaining the hard tissue volume in the osteogenic space.

Histomorphometric, Immunohistochemical and Microtomographic Comparison between Autogenous and Xenogenous Bone Blocks for Mandibular Lateral Augmentation in Rabbits. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14206049. [PMID: 34683641 PMCID: PMC8540416 DOI: 10.3390/ma14206049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2021] [Revised: 09/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The volumetric and biological behaviors of equine block grafts compared with autogenous block grafts have not yet been assessed. Hence, the aim of the present study was to compare-by means of histomorphometry, immunohistochemistry and microtomography-the graft incorporation and remodeling processes of autogenous and equine xenogenous bone blocks used for mandibular lateral augmentation in rabbits. METHODS Autogenous bone grafts harvested from the iliac bony crest and equine block grafts were secured to the lateral aspect of the mandible angle of eighteen rabbits. The healing after 7, 20 and 60 days was assessed in six animals each period. RESULTS After 60 days, new bone was present 24.2 ± 11.2% and 31.6 ± 13.3% in the autograft and xenograft groups, respectively. A better integration to the recipient sites was observed in the autogenous compared with the xenogenous blocks. CONCLUSIONS Both xenogenous and autogenous bone blocks presented similar percentages of newly formed bone over time. However, bone volume, the quality of the grafted area and graft incorporation to the recipient sites were superior in the autogenous compared with the equine xenogenous graft sites.

Alveolar Bone Ridge Augmentation Using Polymeric Membranes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:1172. [PMID: 33917475 PMCID: PMC8038790 DOI: 10.3390/polym13071172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Revised: 03/16/2021] [Accepted: 04/01/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Alveolar bone ridge resorption occurred after natural teeth loss and it can restrict the possibility of dental implants placement. The use of bone regenerative procedures is frequently required. The existing evidence regarding the efficacy of horizontal bone ridge augmentation trough guided bone regeneration (GBR) using polymeric membranes was stated. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed. Electronic and manual literature searches were conducted. Screening process was done using the National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE by PubMed), Embase, and the Cochrane Oral Health. Included articles were randomized controlled trials and observational studies. Weighted means were calculated. Heterogeneity was determined using Higgins (I2). If I2 > 50% a random-effects model was applied. It was found that the mean of horizontal bone gain was 3.95 mm, ranging from 3.19 to 4.70 mm (confidence interval 95%). Heterogeneity is I2 = 99% (confidence interval 95%) and significance of the random-effects model was p < 0.001. The complications rate was 8.4% and membrane exposure was the most frequent. Through this study, we were able to conclude that the existing scientific evidence suggests that GBR using polymeric membranes is a predictable technique for achieving horizontal bone augmentation, thus, permitting a proper further implant placement.

Abstract
Polymeric membranes are employed in guided bone regeneration (GBR) as physical barriers to facilitate bone in-growth. A bioactive and biomimetic membrane with the ability to participate in the healing and regeneration of the bone is necessary. The aim of the present study was to analyze how novel silicon dioxide composite membranes functionalized with zinc or doxycycline can modulate the osteoblasts' proliferation, differentiation, and expression of selected antigenic markers related to immunomodulation. Nanostructured acrylate-based membranes were developed, blended with silica, and functionalized with zinc or doxycycline. They were subjected to MG63 osteoblast-like cells culturing. Proliferation was assessed by MTT-assay, differentiation by evaluating the alkaline phosphatase activity by a spectrophotometric method and antigenic phenotype was assessed by flow cytometry for selected markers. Mean comparisons were conducted by one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests (p < 0.05). The blending of silica nanoparticles in the tested non-resorbable polymeric scaffold improved the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts, but doxycycline doped scaffolds attained the best results. Osteoblasts cultured on doxycycline functionalized membranes presented higher expression of CD54, CD80, CD86, and HLA-DR, indicating a beneficial immunomodulation activity. Doxycycline doped membranes may be a potential candidate for use in GBR procedures in several challenging pathologies, including periodontal disease.

Materials and Manufacturing Techniques for Polymeric and Ceramic Scaffolds Used in Implant Dentistry. JOURNAL OF COMPOSITES SCIENCE 2021.

Abstract
Preventive and regenerative techniques have been suggested to minimize the aesthetic and functional effects caused by intraoral bone defects, enabling the installation of dental implants. Among them, porous three-dimensional structures (scaffolds) composed mainly of bioabsorbable ceramics, such as hydroxyapatite (HAp) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) stand out for reducing the use of autogenous, homogeneous, and xenogenous bone grafts and their unwanted effects. In order to stimulate bone formation, biodegradable polymers such as cellulose, collagen, glycosaminoglycans, polylactic acid (PLA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL), polyglycolic acid (PGA), polyhydroxylbutyrate (PHB), polypropylenofumarate (PPF), polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), and poly L-co-D, L lactic acid (PLDLA) have also been studied. More recently, hybrid scaffolds can combine the tunable macro/microporosity and osteoinductive properties of ceramic materials with the chemical/physical properties of biodegradable polymers. Various methods are suggested for the manufacture of scaffolds with adequate porosity, such as conventional and additive manufacturing techniques and, more recently, 3D and 4D printing. The purpose of this manuscript is to review features concerning biomaterials, scaffolds macro and microstructure, fabrication techniques, as well as the potential interaction of the scaffolds with the human body.

Abstract
Thermosensitive hydrogels could function as scaffolds and delivery vehicle of natural flavonoids. The current study aimed to investigate effects of chitosan/collagen ratios on properties of thermosensitive beta-glycerophosphate (bGP) chitosan/collagen hydrogels as delivery vehicle of quercetin and then examined effects of quercetin-hydrogels on growth and cell viability of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). Microstructure and physical, mechanical and antioxidant properties and quercetin release profiles of the hydrogels were investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction analyses were performed to examine gelation process of the hydrogels. Antioxidant assays were conducted to measure antioxidant capacity of quercetin-hydrogels. It was found that bGP-chitosan/collagen hydrogels exhibited porous structures with interconnected pore architecture and could sustain quercetin release. Chitosan content improved well defined porous structure, increased porosity of the hydrogels and decreased releasing rate of quercetin from the hydrogels. The quercetin-bGP-2:1 (wt/wt) chitosan/collagen hydrogels exhibited antioxidant capacity and were able to promote growth of hPDLSCs in a dose dependent manner. In conclusion, the thermosensitive quercetin-bGP-2:1 (wt/wt) chitosan/collagen hydrogel demonstrated optimal properties of scaffolds for bone tissue engineering and sustained release of natural flavonoids. Incorporating quercetin in the chitosan/collagen hydrogel enhanced bioactive microenvironment that supported stem cell encapsulation.

Wide Anterior Maxillary Reconstruction with Equine Bone Xenograft: A Case Report of 24-Month Follow-Up. Case Rep Surg 2020; 2020:8890935.

Abstract
Introduction. Orofacial reconstruction plays an important role in the treatment of patients affected by oral and maxillofacial cancers. Improvements in technologies and studies of biomaterials have widely expanded surgical possibilities to achieve good functional and aesthetic outcomes. By the way, xenografting procedures gained great consensus in the last decades, because of their documented reliability and efficacy. We present a case of anterior maxillary chondrosarcoma (CHS) that has undergone surgical ablation followed by reconstruction with an equine-derived bone xenograft. Case Presentation. A 68-year-old woman affected by CHS of the premaxilla underwent surgical ablation involving the four incisors followed by reconstruction using an equine-derived bone substitute. Bony reconstruction was planned to achieve implant and dental prosthetic rehabilitation at a second surgical time. Primary surgery was carried out without complications. Good integration of the graft was confirmed by radiological examination. At 12-month follow-up, the patient refused the implant placement and spontaneously adopted a mobile prosthesis. One year later, plates and screws were removed, because of the exposure of a titanium plate. The graft was finally rejected within 3 weeks. Discussion. Nonantigenic equine-derived biomaterials have shown reliability and a good safety profile. In the presented case, implant insertion should have been performed 12 months after the primary surgery. During the follow-up, until dental mobile prosthesis was applied, clinical and instrumental examinations demonstrated a good integration of the graft. We suppose that a chronic inflammation of the mucosa led to the exposure of the plate, perhaps due to pressure, minimal movements, or imperfect fitting of the mobile prosthesis. Removal of fixation means was performed to prevent grafting failure, without success. On the other hand, missing load could induce the graft to act just like a prosthesis, without a real process of integration. Safety and reliability of equine-derived bone xenografts cannot be currently confirmed if not followed by implant insertion and dental rehabilitation.

Abstract
Psammomatoid juvenile ossifying fibroma (PJOF) is a rare benign tumor that usually affects the paranasal sinuses, orbit, and skull. In most cases, extensive incisions are necessary for full access to the tumor site. The aim of this paper is to report a case of extensive PJOF in which an intraoral surgical approach was performed with complete excision of the tumor. A female patient, 18-year old had a deforming volume increase in the region of the left facial middle third with an approximate evolution time of 2 years. She complained of headache, epiphora in the left eye, and total obstruction of the left nostril. Extraoral examination showed facial asymmetry with dystopia, ocular proptosis, and considerable sclera exposition of the left eye. Tomography examination showed a mixed aspect lesion on the left side of the face, well delimited. The intraoral surgical approach was chosen for the excision of the lesion. Under general anesthesia and nasotracheal intubation, total resection was performed, followed by exodontia of the directly involved teeth. In the definitive histopathological examination, the diagnosis was confirmed. The patient is currently with 2 years and 6 months of postoperative follow-up and has good healing of intraoral surgical wounds and stable occlusion. Extraoral examination showed harmonic projection of the facial middle third, but still with excessive exposure of the sclera of the left eye due to the defect in the orbital floor. The surgical treatment of PJOF was possible by intraoral approach, even taking into account the limitations of the access and the complexity of the anatomy of the facial bones involved.

Abstract
The guided bone regeneration (GBR) technique has been used to achieve optimal bone volume augmentation and allow dental implant placement in atrophic maxilla and mandible, with predictable results and high survival rates. The use of bone substitutes has reduced the necessity of autogenous bone grafts, reducing the morbidity at the donor areas and thus improving the patients' satisfaction and comfort. This clinical case report shows a clinical and histological evaluation of the bone tissue behavior, in a case that required the horizontal augmentation of the alveolar ridge, with the use of xenograft biomaterial and further dental implant placement. After six months of healing time, six implants were placed, and a bone biopsy was done. The histological analysis depicted some fragments of the xenograft bone graft, integrated with the new-formed bone tissue.

Abstract
Bioceramic scaffolds are crucial in tissue engineering for bone regeneration. They usually provide hierarchical porosity, bioactivity, and mechanical support supplying osteoconductive properties and allowing for 3D cell culture. In the case of age-related diseases such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, or other bone alterations as alveolar bone resorption or spinal fractures, functional tissue recovery usually requires the use of grafts. These bone grafts or bone void fillers are usually based on porous calcium phosphate grains which, once disposed into the bone defect, act as scaffolds by incorporating, to their own porosity, the intergranular one. Despite their routine use in traumatology and dental applications, specific graft requirements such as osteoinductivity or balanced dissolution rate are still not completely fulfilled. Marine origin bioceramics research opens the possibility to find new sources of bone grafts given the wide diversity of marine materials still largely unexplored. The interest in this field has also been urged by the limitations of synthetic or mammalian-derived grafts already in use and broadly investigated. The present review covers the current stage of major marine origin bioceramic grafts for bone tissue regeneration and their promising properties. Both products already available on the market and those in preclinical phases are included. To understand their clear contribution to the field, the main clinical requirements and the current available biological-derived ceramic grafts with their advantages and limitations have been collected.
