To evaluate the efficacy of plasma-rich growth factor (PRGF) in improving socket healing after tooth extraction in diabetic patients. This was a split-mouth study in which each patient also served as the control: the study socket was... more
To evaluate Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) performance during dynamic (DYN) phases, hepatobiliary (HB) phase and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) compared with pathological findings in patients undergoing orthotopic liver... more
This article proposes a simple preoperative score to evaluate the complexity of tooth extractions of the third mandibular molar and to estimate the time involved. We consider 11 factors (demographic, anatomic, and radiologic) that favor... more
Dental extractions in haemophiliacs may cause secondary bleeding, requiring repeated surgical and haematological interventions. As a local haemostatic, fibrin glue has recognised efficacy but, as a plasma-derived product, it carries the... more
To date, only few studies have reported on the clinical outcomes of immediate postextraction implant placement and immediate loading. The purpose of this retrospective study was to report the results of immediately loading four implants... more
There are few studies in the literature regarding immediate postextraction implant placement with immediate loading in the maxilla. These studies have only small cohorts. Therefore, the authors conducted a retrospective study to help fill... more
Stem cell-based disease modeling presents unique opportunities for mechanistic elucidation and therapeutic targeting. The stable induction of fate-specific differentiation is an essential prerequisite for stem cell-based strategy. Bone... more
Aluminium nitride thin films were deposited on titanium fixtures, while silicon oxide thin films were deposited on titanium fixtures and chromium–cobalt substrates, using the RF magnetron sputtering technique. Each coating showed... more
A systematic review of scientific literature. The study aimed to determine whether bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are more effective in treating bone defects than traditional techniques, such as grafting autologous bone. BMPs were... more
This study proposes a new clinical procedure for measuring the closest speaking space (CSS) and compares it with an instrumental method. The study population included 15 edentulous and 10 dentulous subjects free of systemic disease,... more
Fifteen edentulous patients with overdentures supported by two implants in the mandibular canine regions received periodontal therapy using both hand instrumentation with Teflon curettes and a glycine-based airflow system. Periodontal... more
