Bone Regeneration: When Science Means Nothing
Sharing knowledge helps provide the best for our patients. Here, we look at an in vitro bone regeneration study and assess the value of their findings.
Sinus Membrane Removal: Successful Subantral Sinus Augmentation
The sinus membrane does not contribute to bone production during sinus augmentation, nor is it needed for successful augmentation with same day implant placement.
Gingival Regeneration: Principles and Procedures
There are no clinical studies discussing gingival regeneration during extraction socket healing, only discussions on management of gingival recession.
Evidence Based Studies On Buccal Wall Regeneration
Untreated intact extraction sockets face a 1.4 mm reduction in buccal wall height and roughly 50% reduction of horizontal ridge width after 3 months of healing.
2 Studies: Don’t Pack, Don’t Remove the PDL, & Don’t Use Collagen
Two recent studies make it clear about bone regeneration: (A) Never pack bone graft material into a socket and (B) bovine collagen is not biocompatible.
Histological & micro-CT Analysis: No Graft, Allograft, SteinerBio
A critical size defect study utilizing both histological and micro-CT analysis outlining differences in bone regeneration of allografts and SteinerBio.
Early Implant Esthetics and Technique Refinements
Early Implant Esthetics and Technique Refinements When a new surgical modality is rolled out, it is always followed by a period of refinement. We have been in that process for the last two years and today we are going to share with you our current methodology. New Understandings Vertical gingival incisions for membrane placement are not required to achieve gingival hypertrophy necessary for ideal gingival architecture and esthetics. The most ideal esthetics and gingival architecture are achieved when the gingiva and membrane are secured by a tissue adhesive. The following cases display the results of our recent refinements. Gingival esthetics…
βTCP Air Abrasion For Regenerating Peri-implantitis Lesions
βTCP Air Abrasion For RegeneratingPeri-implantitis Lesions A fractured implant was removed from the molar site and a fractured natural tooth was removed from the bicuspid site. In the molar site, the lesion was too large for immediate implant bone-to-implant contact, so the implant was floated in Socket Graft. The bicuspid implant was a standard immediate implant with good bone contact and the voids were filled with Socket Graft. 10 years after placement. Contrary to what you are thinking, it was not the implant that was floated in Socket Graft, but instead it was the bicuspid where the bone is failing.…
Killing Regeneration and Extraction Socket Pain
Bone cells live in the most protected environment in the body. Bone cells are encased in thick cortical bone that is never exposed to the surrounding environment. If this protected environment is breached, the regenerative cells that we work with are easily killed. Today we will discuss how dentists routinely compromise the health of bone and how to avoid killing regeneration.
Grafting Endodontic Lesions
Grafting Endodontic Lesions Here at SteinerBio, we do not portend to know anything about endodontic therapy. However, many of our customers do know a great deal about endodontic therapy and today we will be sharing one of those cases with you as we discuss the rationale of using SteinerBio bone graft for endodontic lesions. All SteinerBio graft materials are structurally resistant to bacterial colonization. When our graft materials are placed in a lesion, only cells that can crawl have the ability to enter the graft material. This feature of our graft material allows the entrance of regenerative cells and blood…
