ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To observe the clinical effect on site preservation with self platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in posterior dental areas after extraction. @*METHODS@#Thirty patients who asked to extract posterior teeth and were ready for dental implantation were enrolled. PRF was implanted immediately in alveolar fossa after extraction. Cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) images were taken after 4-6 months and the changes in height and width of alveolar bone were observed. @*RESULTS@#There was no statistical difference in the height and width between the alveolar bone treated with PRF after the extraction of tooth and the bone condition before the extraction of tooth. @*CONCLUSION@#The site preservative technology with PRF could maintain the mass of alveolar bone in posterior dental areas, which provide a better bone condition for later dental implantation.

Immediate-implant-immediate-loading restoration exhibits many advantages, such as recovery appearance, early function, short implant period, reduced operation frequency and trauma, and less pain, among others. This report introduced a case of immediate-implant-immediate-loading restoration failure because of implant neck split.

BACKGROUND:The laser applied in the clinical oral medicine is mainly for early diagnosis of caries, removal of carious tissue, pulpotomy for pulp bleeding, dentin hypersensitivity treatment, disinfection of infected root canals, and periodontitis treatment. OBJECTIVE:To explore the changes of basic fibroblast growth factor in inflammatory pulp after laser treatment. METHODS:Five healthy adult beagle dogs were enroled, and six teeth were randomly selected from each dog. Then, these teeth were randomly divided into three groups, 10 teeth in a group, and they were treated with laser irradiation, saline and gentamicin irrigation respectively. At days 1, 2, 3 after operation, exudates from the pulp were colected for detection of basic fibroblast growth factor expression. Meanwhile, the dental pulp was detected by hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the al three groups, the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor at day 3 was significantly higher than that at days 1 and 2, and there were no differences between days 1 and 2. Moreover, these three groups also showed no significant differences. Under hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemical staining, blood vessels in the pulp cavity were in good condition and the pulp arranged tightly. These findings suggest that the laser is safe, convenient and effective for oral clinical application, and has no injury to the inflammatory pulp.
