A few factors that influence how successfully a grafted material is assimilated are its mechanical strength, pore size, ability to stimulate bone growth, and type of the graft. The four properties that the bone transplant material should possess are osteogenesis, osteoinduction, osteoconduction, and osteointegration. Despite being the only material with all four qualities, autologous bone has limited applications because of morbidities at the donor site. Allogeneic bone, which is taken from a different person and is commonly processed by tissue banks, is an alternative to autogenous bone. It carries a danger of spreading illness and being antigenic. Over the past few decades, the development of synthetic bone substitutes has opened up a wide range of options and opportunities to solve these limitations. In bone grafting procedures, synthetic bone replacements and biological components are quickly taking the place of natural grafts. Considerations include the patient's characteristics, the location, the extent of the lesion, and the cost and availability of the graft materials. This review has covered a variety of commonly used alloplastic materials.","PeriodicalId":379965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Specialities","volume":"27 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140702129","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}

CBCT referrals are still being made incorrectly due to a lack of sufficient education among dentists and specialists. Furthermore, in order to get high-quality pictures, operators may raise the radiation dose, exposing the patient to unnecessary hazards. The objective of this review is to give an insight into 3D imaging with CBCT technology and a prudent radiation monitoring during CBCT for the benefit of both patients and dentists.","PeriodicalId":379965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Specialities","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115286730","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}

The lateral window technique and the crestal approach are two of the most common approaches. These technologically developed procedures have reported high success rates in cases of deficient residual bone. Over time, there have been many advancements in these techniques that led to the development of user-friendly kits like the Lateral approach Sinus (LAS) kit and the Crestal approach Sinus (CAS) kit. In this case series, we have reported two cases, treated with either of these approaches and have compared the same. We aim at highlighting their ease of application in the clinical field and the promising results obtained with their use.

The resultant stress generated in the periodontal ligament and root surface were recorded and compared between the models.: The model with the maximum change in crown-root angle (180˚) showed the maximum stress in both PDL and root surface. The stress recorded on the root surface was more on the cervical 2/3rd in the palatal region of the tooth as compared to the labial region.
