- The aim of the present study was to histologically analyse the bone graft-titanium implant interface after six and twelve months of healing for a simultaneous approach and after six months for a delayed approach. For this purpose, screw-shaped c.p. titanium microimplants, 2 mm in diameter and 5 mm long, were placed and retrieved at different time intervals in ten consecutive patients with severely resorbed maxillae and treated with iliac cortico-cancellous bone grafts and titanium implants in a two-stage procedure. The histomorphometrical analyses of ground sections of the specimens showed a higher degree of bone-implant contact and more bone filling the implant threads in the delayed approach microimplants. This was probably due to the partly revascularized grafted bone in the delayed approach being able to respond to the surgical trauma, resulting in interfacial bone formation. It is concluded that the results from the present study favour the use of a delayed approach when using free autogenous bone grafts and titanium implants for reconstruction of the severely atrophied maxilla.

- The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the association between the intake of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and the risk of dental implant failure. Patients were included if they were taking SSRIs only and no other medication, did not present any other systemic condition or compromising habits (bruxism, smoking, snuff), and complied with the use of prophylactic antibiotics for implant surgery. The multivariate generalized estimating equation (GEE) method and multilevel mixed-effects parametric survival analysis were used to test the association between SSRI exposure (predictor variable) and the risk of implant failure (outcome variable), adjusting for several potential confounders (other variables). The total number of implants with information available and meeting the necessary eligibility criteria was 931(35 failures). These were placed in 300 patients. The implant failure rate was 12.5% for SSRI users and 3.3% for nonusers (P = 0.007). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a statistically significant difference in the cumulative survival rate (P < 0.001). The multivariate GEE model did not show a statistically significant association between SSRI intake and implant failure (P = 0.530), nor did the multilevel model (P = 0.125). It is suggested that the intake of SSRIs may not be associated with an increased risk of dental implant failure.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this study was to integrate the available published data on melanotic neuroectodermal tumour of infancy (MNTI) of the jaws into a comprehensive analysis of its clinical/radiological features, with emphasis on the predictive factors associated with recurrence. Eligibility criteria included publications with sufficient clinical/radiological/histological information to confirm the diagnosis. A total of 288 publications reporting 429 MNTI cases were included. MNTIs were slightly more prevalent in males and markedly more prevalent in the maxilla. Most of the lesions were asymptomatic, presenting cortical bone perforation and tooth displacement. Nine lesions were malignant, with metastasis in five cases. Enucleation was the predominant treatment (67.2%), followed by marginal (18.4%) and segmental resection (6.1%). Eighty-one of 356 lesions (22.8%) recurred. Recurrence rates were 61.5% for curettage, 25.3% for enucleation alone, 16.2% for enucleation + curettage, 20.0% for enucleation + peripheral osteotomy, 11.3% for marginal resection, 10.0% for segmental resection, 30.0% for chemotherapy, and 33.3% for radiotherapy. Enucleation and resection presented significantly lower recurrence rates in comparison to curettage. Curettage appears not to be the best form of treatment, due to its high recurrence rate. As resection (either marginal or segmental) is associated with higher morbidity, enucleation with or without complementary treatment (curettage or peripheral osteotomy) would appear to be the most indicated therapy.

- Abstract The aims of the study were to investigate the alteration of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) after correction of dentofacial deformities by orthodontic treatment in conjunction with orthognathic surgery; and to compare the frequency of TMD in patients with dentofacial deformities with an age and gender matched control group. TMD were evaluated in 121 consecutive patients (treatment group), referred for orthognathic surgery, by a questionnaire and a clinical examination. 18 months after treatment, 81% of the patients completed a follow-up examination. The control group comprised 56 age and gender matched subjects, of whom 68% presented for follow-up examination. TMD were diagnosed according to research diagnostic criteria for TMD. At baseline examination, the treatment group had a higher frequency of myofascial pain (P=.035) and arthralgia (P=.040) than the control group. At follow-up, the frequencies of myofascial pain, arthralgia and disc displacement had decreased in the treatment group (P=.050, P=.004, P=.041, respectively). The frequency of TMD was comparable in the two groups at follow-up. Patients with dentofacial deformities, corrected by orthodontic treatment in conjunction with orthognathic surgery, seem to have a positive treatment outcome in respect of TMD pain

Bisphosphonate coating might improve fixation of dental implants in the maxilla: A pilot study
- 2010
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. - : Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam. - 0901-5027 .- 1399-0020. ; 39:7, s. 673-677

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This pilot study evaluates the clinical stability of bisphosphonate-coated dental implants placed using a two-stage surgical procedure in five patients. Each patient received seven regular Brånemark implants, one of which was coated with bisphosphonate in a fibrinogen matrix. The coated implant was inserted where the bone was expected to have the least favourable quality. The level of the marginal bone around each implant was measured by intraoral periapical radiographs and implant stability was recorded using resonance frequency measurements. Frequency values (ISQ) were obtained peroperatively before flap closure and after 6 months at abutment connection. At abutment connection the bisphosphonate-coated implants were removed en bloc in two patients for histological examination. An animal experiment had previously confirmed that gamma-sterilization did not reduce bioactivity of the bisphosphonate coating. In each patient, the bisphosphonate-coated implant showed the largest improvement in ISQ level of all implants. Their values at the start tended to be lower, and the absolute value at 6 months did not differ. No complications occurred with the coated implants. Histology showed no abnormalities. Improvement in ISQ values was an expected effect of the bisphosphonate coating, but could be due to the choice of insertion site. This finding warrants a randomized, blinded study.

Prevention of osteonecrosis of the jaw by mucoperiosteal coverage in a rat model
- 2013
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- There is evidence for a link between the use of systemic bisphosphonates and osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). This condition has the appearance of chronic osteomyelitis, and antibiotics prevent the development of ONJ in animal models. Clinically, ONJ can sometimes be successfully treated by mucoperiosteal coverage. If ONJ is indeed primarily caused by bacterial infection, immediate coverage of the extraction alveolus might reduce the risk of ONJ development in risk patients. Therefore, we studied whether immediate mucoperiosteal coverage after tooth extraction could prevent ONJ development in a rat model. Thirty rats were randomly allocated to three groups of 10. Group I (controls): extraction, no drug treatment; Group II (non-coverage): extraction, dexamethasone plus alendronate; Group III (coverage): dexamethasone plus alendronate, plus coverage by a mucoperiosteal flap. Rats were examined for macroscopic ONJ-like wounds after 2 weeks. All animals in the non-coverage group developed large ONJ-like changes. The coverage and control groups showed an intact overlying mucosa in all rats. Findings were confirmed with histology. Bisphosphonates and dexamethasone caused ONJ-like lesions after tooth extraction in a rat model. This was prevented by immediate mucoperiosteal coverage. The risk of ONJ in patients using bisphosphonates might be reduced by mucoperiosteal coverage after tooth extraction.

Randomised trial of bisphosphonate-coated dental implants: Radiographic follow-up after five years of loading
- 2016
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. - : CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE. - 0901-5027 .- 1399-0020. ; 45:12, s. 1564-1569

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The results of a randomised trial with bisphosphonate-coated dental implants have been reported previously. Each patient received one coated and one uncoated implant in a double-blind split-mouth design study. After 6 months of osseointegration, resonance frequency analysis indicated better fixation of the coated implants. Reduced marginal bone resorption was also shown. However, it was not known whether the advantage of the bisphosphonate coating would persist over time. The radiographic results at 5 years after implant installation are reported herein. A blinded investigator measured marginal resorption on fresh radiographs obtained for 14 of the 16 patients (two had died) and compared these with the post-implantation images. Non-parametric statistics were used. All implants functioned well. The median marginal bone loss for control implants was found to be 0.70 mm, which is less than usually reported in the literature. The bisphosphonate-coated implants showed even less resorption (median 0.20 mm). The median difference within each pair of implants after 5 years of use was 0.34 mm (95% confidence interval 0.00-0.75 mm; P = 0.04). The present data suggest that bisphosphonate-coated implants enable prolonged preservation of the marginal bone.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This retrospective study aimed at evaluating the long-term incidence of neurosensory disturbance (NSD) after sagittal split osteotomy (SSO) and intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO). Furthermore, a comparison was made between the results obtained by questionnaires and information in the patient records in the evaluation of nerve function. Finally, the degree of discomfort caused by the NSD was evaluated. One hundred and twentynine patients, who underwent IVRO (79 patients) and SSO (50 patients), were included. Questionnaires were mailed to the patients at least one year after the operation. The records of all patients, who returned the questionnaires, were reviewed. The results of NSD obtained by questionnaires and records differed indicating a disagreement between the judgement of the surgeon and the patient's opinion. Long lasting NSD was underestimated by the surgeon as compared to the patient's subjective symptom. Long lasting NSD was reported in 7.5% (questionnaire), 3.8% (record) after IVRO and in 11.6% (questionnaire) and 8.1% (record) after SSO.
