A Retrospective Evaluation of Radiographic Outcomes in Immature Teeth With Necrotic Root Canal Systems Treated With Regenerative Endodontic Procedures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors collected radiographs from 54 published and unpublished endodontic regenerative cases and 40 control cases (20 apexification and 20 nonsurgical root canal treatments) and used a geometrical imaging program, NIH ImageJ with TurboReg plug-in, to minimize potential differences in angulations between the preoperative and recall images and to calculate continued development of root length and dentin wall thickness.
Journal Article
A feasibility study evaluating rhBMP-2/absorbable collagen sponge for maxillary sinus floor augmentation.
Philip J. Boyne,Robert E. Marx,Myron Nevins,Gilbert R. Triplett,Emmanuel Lazaro,Leslie C. Lilly,Marden E. Alder,Pirkka V. Nummikoski +7 more
TL;DR: Results tend to indicate that rhBMP-2/ACS may provide an acceptable alternative to traditional bone grafts and bone substitutes for maxillary sinus floor augmentation procedures in humans.
Journal Article
A feasibility study evaluating rhBMP-2/absorbable collagen sponge device for local alveolar ridge preservation or augmentation
T. H. Howell,Joseph P. Fiorellini,Archie A. Jones,M Alder,Pirkka V. Nummikoski,M Lazaro,Leslie C. Lilly,David L. Cochran +7 more
TL;DR: This trial indicated that the use of rhBMP-2/ACS to preserve alveolar ridge after tooth extraction or augmentation of localized defects is safe and feasible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal Alveolar Bone Loss in Postmenopausal Osteoporotic/Osteopenic Women
TL;DR: The data suggest that osteoporosis/osteopenia and estrogen deficiency are risk factors for alveolar bone density loss in postmenopausal women with a history of periodontitis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of an endosseous titanium implant with a sandblasted and acid‐etched surface in the canine mandible: radiographic results
David L. Cochran,Pirkka V. Nummikoski,Frank L. Higginbottom,Joachim S. Hermann,Scott R. Makins,Daniel Buser +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that SLA implants are superior to TPS implants as measured radiographically in oral bone under unloaded and loaded conditions.
