Augmentation and Preservation of the Alveolar Process and Alveolar Ridge of Bone

This article describes the changes in height, width and cross-sectional area of the alveolar process of the upper jaw after the closure of acute postextraction oroantral communications by mobilizing mucoperiosteal trapezoidal vestibular flap. Evaluation of these parameters was performed by measuring on computer tomograms taken on the day of surgery and after six months. It was established that horizontal alveolar ridge atrophy significantly exceeds changes in the vertical direction, and the most pronounced difference observed when comparing the cross-sectional area of the alveolar process in the perioperative and control periods. The obtained results exceed known from the literature parameters of the alveolar process atrophy after tooth extractions not accompanied by the maxillary sinus perforation.

Apparently Healthy

Conducted a clinical research of tissues in maxillofacial area of patients with maxillary sinusitis confirmed based on X-ray diagnostics and patients without it. Cone beam computed tomography of maxillary antrum and ultrasonic dopplerography of microcirculatory vessels of alveolar ridge mucosa on computer-operated ultrasonic system MM-D-K of SP Minimax, St. Petersburg, were used in the research. It is established that as a result of continuous chronic polypoid changes of upper layers of maxillary antrum mucosa and compression of stroma polypuses with microcirculatory vessels in them, compensatory increase of microvascular blood flow in alveolar process mucosa is developed. Absence of deficit in blood supply in patients with polypus maxillary sinusitis makes it possible to successfully perform surgical operation on alveolar process and maxillary antrum mucosa for these patients.

The Relationship

Aim. To assess the size of the alveolar ridge / part of the jaws in patients with gnathic mesial occlusion of the dentition.Materials and methods. A study was carried out, during which we determined the structural features of the alveolar ridge of the upper and lower jaws of 50 adult patients (from 18 to 44 years old), and also studied the presence / absence of the relationship of this parameter with the inclination of the teeth.Results. The smallest thickness of the alveolar bone in the upper jaw was observed in the area of the mesio-buccal root of the first molars and in the area of the first premolars and canines. The smallest thickness of the alveolar bone in the lower jaw was observed in the area of the vestibular surface of the first and second premolars, canines and incisors. The greatest thickness of the alveolar bone is observed in the distal-buccal region of the second molars.Conclusions. A natural mechanism promotes dentoalveolar compensation, while maintaining the amount of bone in the region of the vestibular and lingual alveolar bones to maintain the integrity of the periodontium.

Background: Losing posterior teeth for a long time would occasionally lead to the sharpening of alveolar process. The removable partial denture usually have problems when used during mastication, because of the pressure on the mucosa under the alveolar ridge. Purpose: The purpose of this case report was to manage patients with sharp mandibular alveolar process by wearing hybrid prosthesis with extra coronal precision attachment retention and soft liner on the surface base beneath the removable partial denture. Case: A 76 years old woman visited the Prosthodontic Clinic Faculty of Dentistry Airlangga University. The patient had a long span bridge on the upper jaw and a free end acrylic removable partial denture on the lower jaw. She was having problems with mastication. The patient did not wear her lower denture because of the discomfort with it during mastication. Hence, she would like to replace it with a new removable partial denture. Case management: The patient was treated by wearing a hybrid prosthesis with extra coronal precision attachment on the lower jaw. Soft liner was applied on the surface of the removable partial denture. Hybrid prosthesis is a complex denture consisting of removable partial denture and fixed bridge. Conclusion: It concluded that after restoration, the patient had no problems with sharp alveolar process with her new denture, and she was able to masticate well.Latar belakang: Kehilangan geligi posterior dapat menimbulkan processus alveolaris tajam. Gigi tiruan sebagian lepasan mempunyai masalah selama pengunyahan karena adanya tekanan di mukosa di bawah alveolar ridge. Tujuan: Tujuan laporan kasus ini adalah untuk menjelaskan cara menangani pasien yang mempunyai prosesus alveolaris yang tajam di rahang bawah dengan dibuatkan protesis hybrid dengan daya tahan extra coronal precision attachment dan soft liner di permukaan bawah basis gigi tiruan sebagian lepasan. Kasus: Pasien wanita berumur 76 tahun datang di klinik Prostodosia Fakultas Kedokteran Gigi Universitas Airlangga. Pasien memakai gigi tiruan lekat rentang panjang di rahang atas dan gigi tiruan sebagian lepasan akrilik free end di rahang bawah, pasien mengalami masalah waktu mengunyah. Pasien tidak memakai gigitiruan lepasan rahang bawahnya karena tidak nyaman dipakai, dan pasien menginginkan pembuatan gigi tiruan lepasan rahang bawah yang baru. Tatalaksana kasus: Pada pasien ini dilakukan pembuatan Hybrid Prosthesis dengan daya tahan berupa extra coronal attachment di rahang bawah dan penggunaan bahan pelapis lunak yang diaplikasikan pada basis gigi tiruan lepasan nya. Hybrid prosthesis adalah gigi tiruan himpunan yang terdiri dari gigi tiruan lepasan dan gigi tiruan lekat. Kesimpulan: Hasil perawatan menunjukkan setelah mengganti gigi tiruan dengan gigi tiruan sebagian lepasan yang baru, pasien tidak mempunyai masalah dengan gigi tiruan yang baru akibat processus alveolaris yang tajam dan pasien dapat mengunyah dengan baik.

The aim of this research was to study gender and typological features of the morphometric parameters of the alveolar process of the maxilla in the mature population of the Republic of Azerbaijan.Material and methods. The study included 100 macerated mature male and female skulls reported in the certificates from the craniological collection of the fundamental museum of the department of human anatomy and medical terminology of the Azerbaijan medical university. The craniometric and variation-statistical methods were used in the study. Measurements were performed according to the generally accepted method using standard instruments for craniometry (Vernier caliper, caliper and a metal ruler). Cranial cuts in the frontal plane at the level of the upper canines, second premolars and molars were performed to measure the height and width of the alveolar ridge.Results. The results of morphometry demonstrated that the alveolar process of the maxilla has a pronounced gender dimorphism in males and females. Thus, in men morphometric parameters of the alveolar ridge (measured at different levels) are higher than in women. The alveolar ridge is statistically higher in leptoprozopes and mesoprozopes compared with euriprozopes at all studied levels.Conclusion. The height and width of the alveolar process of the maxilla have significant gender differences. Certain features of the width of the alveolar ridge have been detected for various forms of the facial part of the skull, but no evident relationship has been revealed.

Nonresorbable sintered ceramic hydroxylapatite (HA) is widely employed for filling defects in jaw bone. The small particles used for alveolar ridge augmentation in edentulous patients or for infrabony defects due to periodontal disease tend to scatter when implanted using water or saline as the vehicle. Larger blocks of this material used for filling sockets after tooth extraction don't fit well. Studies in our laboratory where we compared bovine serum albumin, collagen and plaster of Paris as binders to prevent particle scatter during implantation suggested that plaster was most useful for this purpose. In addition to preventing scatter of the particles, plaster enables the formation of implants of any size and.shape either prior to or during surgery. Studies with the PATS reaction have indicated that plaster acts as a scaffold for the incorporation of HA particles into bone in areas where the implant contacts either host bone or periosteum. The shape and integrity of the implant is maintained by the plaster component until it is replaced over a period of days by fibrovascular tissue.
