HOUSTON — A month into an injured list stint for “inflammation,” a small fracture has been discovered in Yordan Alvarez’s right hand, sidelining the Houston Astros slugger for the ...

Alveolar ridge preservation procedure after tooth extraction! After a tooth is extracted from the jawbone, the oral surgeon places a membrane and bone graft inside the now empty socket. The graft can ...

Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) procedures are more effective than natural healing in minimizing post-extraction bone resorption, preserving both horizontal and vertical bone dimensions.

AIM: The application of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) has been shown to enhance treatment outcomes. The aim of this study is to systematically review the efficacy of ...

OBJECTIVE: To compare, through computed tomography, alveolar bone thickness changes at the maxillary incisors area during orthodontic treatment with and without tooth extraction. METHODS: Twelve ...

Teeth can be cracked or broken calling for restorative dental work. Broken bones in the midface (maxillary fracture ― upper) can include: LeFort I fracture, which occurs in a horizontal (transverse) ...

Introduction Extensive comminuted fractures are associated with tooth loss that ultimately leads to dimensional changes in the hard and soft tissues of the alveolar ridge. Reconstruction of the lost ...

A comminuted fracture occurs when your bone breaks into more than three pieces. Learn what cause this, how to treat it, and how long recovery takes.
