The dual mobility blueprint disperses the forces exerted on the prosthesis more evenly, thus mitigating stress on the bearing surfaces. Enhanced Biomechanics and Bone Preservation: The distinctive design of bipolar hip prostheses results in improved biomechanical properties and contributes to preserving bone structure. ...
The Archives of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery reported that each millimeter reduction in bone was associated with a 5-fold rise in the risk of tongue cancer. ...
The most frightening cases involved advanced, chronic gum disease which showed a 4 times higher increase in neck and head cancer for every millimeter of bone loss around teeth. Although the exact reason behind this specific connection is still subject to comprehensive ongoing research, a significant amount of attention is being directed to the oral biofilm (an ...
Periodontal infection is the advanced stages of gum disease that causes bone loss. The bone loss is irreversible. Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease and with early detection, treatment and proper oral hygiene can be reversed. ...
Periodontal disease (perio = around, and dontal = tooth) is the loss of bone and tissue attachment around the tooth. It is caused by a microbial invasion around the tooth by anaerobic bacteria. ...
What is Lumbar Spinal Stenosis? Lumbar spinal stenosis, or LSS, is a common condition in which the lower spinal canal narrows and compresses the nerves in the lower back. Lumbar spinal stenosis is generally caused by aging and natural wear and tear on the spine. With lumbar spinal stenosis, thickened ligament, overgrowth of bone, and/or bulging discs in the lower back put pressure on the ...
As such, patients who complete or discontinue bone-forming therapy are often advised to transition to another osteoporosis therapy to prevent bone loss.(5) Antiresorptive therapies are a common choice, and transitioning to alendronate (ALN) or other bisphosphonates can preserve and, in some cases, further enhance BMD gains.(6-10) Although no ...
Abstract Objective: Predominance of bone loss in cortical sites with relative preservation of trabecular bone, even in postmenopausal women, has been described in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). The aim of this study was to evaluate bone microarchitectural differences using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), ...
In a new study, researchers from the National Institute of Dental Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) have found that blocking the function of a coagulation protein prevents bone loss caused by periodontal (gingival) disease in mice. According to animal and human data, they found that the accumulation of this clotting protein called fibrin triggers an excessive immune ...

The following case was performed at the Pacific Dental Convention’s Live Surgical Stage held March 8th, 2018 in Vancouver, BC. The patient is a healthy 58 year old male with no known allergies or medical contra-indications to dental treatment. Patient presented with a Class III malocclusion for which he received both orthodontic and oral surgery consultations; however, he was not ...
INTRODUCTION The goal of the implant surgeon is to place the implant in the ideal position, to support the prosthesis for the best long term prognosis, while managing important anatomical landmarks. With the aid of Cone Beam CT scans the implant surgeon is able to evaluate, in three dimension, the ridge, important anatomy, as well as pre-plan implant placement in the most ideal position. ...
