Article Type: Case Report | First Published: April 17, 2020

Different surgical approaches have been described for the treatment of maxillary atrophic alveolar ridges, such as the placement of short, angled implants or elevation of the Schneiderian membrane, highlighting within the latter the transcrestal approach, whose main associated concern is the risk of iatrogenic perforation of the sinus membrane due to limited access and indirect view of the procedure. In the literature, there are few studies reporting the use of 3D printed surgical guides for tra...

Mohamed Darwish Elsayed

Article Type: Original Article | First Published: June 26, 2019

Osseointegration or osteointegration refers to a direct bone-to-metal interface without interposition of non-bone tissue. This concept has been described by Branemark, as consisting of a highly-differentiated tissue making "a direct structural and functional connection between ordered, living bone and the surface of a load-carrying implant. Through his initial observations on osseointegration, Branemark showed that titanium implants could become permanently incorporated within bone that is, the ...
