Erosion/infiltration protocol using Icon (DMG, Hamburg, Germany) is one of the most conservative and efficient protocols.

Nowadays, patients suffering from severe dysfunctions of the TMJ may undergo discectomy, a procedure that consists of removing the damaged disc in hopes of reducing the symptoms. However, tissue engineering presents a potential solution for patients suffering from these disorders, due to the lack of safety and effectiveness of TMJ disc implants. Since 1991, several studies have investigated the possibility of regenerating the articular disc. This literature review aims to expose the new challenges and techniques in TMJ disc tissue engineering whether it concerns cell sourcing, scaffold or bioreactors. As these challenges are overcome, the goal of future studies remains to create a functional biological replacement of the TMJ components.

CBCT data from 11 CBCT scans for 11 patients (6 males, 5 females) requiring 13 lateral augmentation procedures were imported to Simplant Pro 15® (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium) in DICOM format. Residual ridge height (RRH) was measured for each implant site as well as mucosal thickness (MT). MT was classified by grades (1 to 4). Simulation of implant placement for each site was realized and the graft volume was pre-operatively calculated by a semi-automatic segmentation (SAS) technique and another automatic Simplant sinus graft (SSG) technique. All patients underwent a lateral sinus augmentation surgery 3 to 12 weeks after the initial CBCT scan. The volume of the bovine bone grafting material (BBM) particles was quantified during the surgery (Vr) for all patients and on immediate post-operative CBCT scans (CBCT-V) for 7 patients. With a mean augmentation of 9.45 ± 1.72 mm, the calculated volumes were 2.243 ± 0.962 mm3 and 2032 ± 0.843 mm3 for the SAS and SSG methods, respectively. Percent variation between Vr and SAS volume was significant (22.4%) and non-significant (4.5%) between Vr and SSG volume. In cases with MT grade 1 & 2, no difference was found between Vr and SAS volume. No difference was found between Vr (1.918 ± 1.118 mm3) and CBCT-V (1.979 ± 1.108). In conclusion, the results showed that the use of the Simplant® software was effective in determining the required graft volume for the surgery, the volume measurements with the SSG were more accurate than the SAS and the quantification of BBM particles on CBCT data sets was reliable and accurate with the segmentation technique used.","PeriodicalId":322244,"journal":{"name":"International Arab Journal of Dentistry","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126687179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
