Alveolar bone loss occurs after extraction with loss of a premolar or anterior tooth; the residual supporting alveolar bone loss averages 1.53 mm of crestal bone height and 3.87 mm of buccolingual width, with most of the bone loss occurring at the facial plate. Socket preservation does not completely preserve the original ridge contours but can be an effective means of reducing bone loss following extraction. Attempts to rebuild the alveolar ridge structure after tooth loss often employ the concept of guided bone regeneration, a technique-sensitive procedure that routinely involves placement of particulate bone with or without fixation screws and either a resorbable or a nonresorbable membrane. We present a novel technique for stabilizing a resorbable membrane and underlying particulate graft allowing for predictable bone grafting across multiple edentulous sites.

The purpose of this paper is two-fold: (1) to review the evidence that osteoporosis and post-menopausal estrogen deficiency are associated with progressive alveolar bone loss and an elevated risk of tooth loss; and (2) to propose the use of tetracyclines, specifically low-dose doxycycline (LDD) (and, perhaps in the future, the chemically modified tetracyclines), to mitigate alveolar bone loss in post-menopausal osteoporotic/osteopenic women. Design concepts for a randomized clinical trial to study the effects of LDD on progressive alveolar bone loss in this patient population are reviewed. Since osteoporosis affects over 20 million people in the United States, progressive alveolar bone loss in this patient group represents a potentially significant public health problem unique from common adult periodontitis. Stopping progressive alveolar bone loss is essential to prevent both tooth loss and micro-architectural deterioration of alveolar bone.

BACKGROUND: After tooth loss, however, severely atrophic residual alveolar ridges are fairly common, especially in patients who have been edentulous for a long period. Anterior area of the mandible is areas where clinicians have greater anatomical limitations. Reduced alveolar bone height very often represents a contraindication to implant therapy, unless a procedure such as a ridge augmentation is performed.CASE REPORT: This study aims to present two separate cases in highly selected edentulous anterior mandibular sites, where one stage, mini implants were used to support total prostheses. Small diameter implants have been used for retention of complete removable mandibular overdentures. This is an excellent option for those who suffer from the inconvenience and embarrassment of loose lower dentures and are tired of having to use sticky pastes and creams to make their dentures stay in place.CONCLUSION: Small diameter implants, when used multiples may offer adequate support for a removable prosthesis and overcome this problem.

The relationship between bone mineral density and tooth loss in men is unclear. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to determine if relative metacarpal bone area (MCA) predicts tooth loss in a cohort of 273 male participants in the Dental Longitudinal Study and Normative Aging Study of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Outer and inner cortical bone widths of the middle metacarpal of the nondominant hand were measured on anteroposterior hand radiographs approximately 11 y apart. Baseline MCA was computed and categorized into quartiles. The men were followed from 1971 to 2015. Incident tooth loss during 2 intervals was examined: concurrent with the MCA measurements and long term over the total follow-up (17 ± 7 y). Radiographic alveolar bone loss (ABL) was measured on periapical radiographs as a percentage of the distance from the cementoenamel junction to root apex, and the number of teeth with ABL >40% was computed. Negative binomial generalized linear regression models estimated the mean number of teeth with ABL >40% and the number lost (concurrent and total), controlling for age, smoking, number of teeth at baseline, percentage teeth with ≥1 decayed/filled surface, and years of follow-up. At baseline, MCA was inversely related to number of teeth with >40% ABL. Men in the lowest MCA quartile (Q1) lost the most teeth, both concurrent with MCA measurements and long term, but the association differed by caries level (≤55% or >55% decayed/filled teeth). At the low caries level, the numbers lost in Q1 were 29% greater than in the highest MCA quartile (Q4). At the high caries level, the numbers lost in Q1 were more than twice those in Q4. Associations were attenuated when further controlled for number of teeth with ABL>40%. These findings suggest that systemic bone status plays a role in tooth loss and that the association may be mediated by alveolar bone loss. Knowledge Transfer Statement: Low relative metacarpal bone area was related to loss of alveolar bone and incident tooth loss in men. This information extends previous research, primarily studies of women, showing that osteoporosis adversely affects oral health. Knowledge of a patient’s systemic bone status may be important for managing his or her periodontal disease. Tooth loss in the absence of periodontal inflammation may signify systemic bone loss. Interprofessional communication is central to maintaining optimal oral and bone health.

Background and objectives: Non-resorbable dense polytetrafluoroethylene (dPTFE) membranes are widely used for regeneration procedures, alone or in combination with particulate materials. The aim of this work was to examine the efficacy of a newly developed dPTFE membrane in the management of extraction socket healing. Materials and Methods: The extraction premolar sockets of 44 patients (20 men and 24 women) were preserved. One group received prosthetic rehabilitation with a fixed partial denture (FPD) (PROS group, N = 19) and a second group received immediate implant placement (IMPL group, N = 25). The PROS group sockets were augmented with a bovine derived xenograft and covered with a newly developed dPTFE membrane prior to FPD rehabilitation. Results: In the IMPL group, socket preservation was combined with immediate implant placement. Before (T0) and 6 months after surgery (T1), horizontal and vertical dimensions were measured with customized stents. No significant differences in alveolar bone loss from T0 to T1 were observed between the PROS and IMPL groups in the horizontal dimension for any tooth type. There was a significant difference in alveolar bone loss from T0 to T1 between the two groups for only single-rooted maxillary premolars in the vertical dimension. Conclusions: The use of the examined new dPTFE membrane consistently led to the preservation of hard tissue in the extraction sites.

Pendahuluan: Radiografi periapikal dapat digunakan untuk mendeteksi tulang alveolar pada perawatan gigi tiruan jembatan. Pembuatan gigi tiruan jembatan harus memenuhi syarat-syarat biologis. Apabila adaptasi marginal buruk, penempatan margin intracrevicular terlalu dalam, permukaan restorasi yang kasar dan restorasi yang overkontur dapat menyebabkan peradangan lokal seperti inflamasi gingiva, peningkatan kedalaman probing dan kehilangan tulang alveolar. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui bagaimana deskripsi tulang alveolar pasca perawatan jembatan di RSGM UNPAD ditinjau dari radiografi periapikal. Metode: Jenis penelitian deskriptif dengan populasi adalah seluruh hasil radiograf periapikal pada pasien sebelum dan sesudah perawatan jembatan posterior yang datang ke RSGM Unpad dan sampel adalah radiograf sebelum dan sesudah perawatan jembatan posterior sebanyak 17 pasien setelah insersi 1 minggu dan 2 pasien setelah insersi 4 minggu. Pengukuran ketinggian tulang alveolar menggunakan Metode Proksimal RABL (Radiographic Alveolar Bone Loss) yang dihitung memakai jangka sorong. Hasil : Kehilangan tulang alveolar setelah insersi 1 minggu pada mesial dan distal yaitu 0,003 mm, setelah insersi 2 minggu 0,007 mm pada mesial dan 0,025 pada distal,setelah insersi 3 minggu 0,025 mm pada mesial dan 0,019 mm pada distal, setelah insersi 4 minggu 0,075 mm mesial dan 0,063 mm distal. Simpulan: Pasca perawatan jembatan, ditinjau dari radiografi periapikal, terdapat kehilangan tulang alveolar ringan berdasarkan metode proksimal RABL.Kata kunci : Gigi tiruan jembatan, radiograf periapikal, tulang alveolar. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Periapical radiography can be used to detect alveolar bone in bridge denture treatment. The making of bridge denture must fulfil biological requirements. Poor marginal adaptation will lead to deeper intracrevicular margin placement, rough surfaces, over contour restoration can cause local inflammation such as gingival inflammation, increased probing depth and alveolar bone loss. The purpose of this research was to know the description of alveolar bone after bridge denture treatment reviewed through periapical radiography. Methods: This research was descriptive with the population of all radiograph periapical treatment of posterior bridge in Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital and the sample was radiograph periapical before and after bridge treatment of as much as 17 patients after 1-week insertion and 2 patients after 4-weeks insertion.  Alveolar bone height measurements was carried out using the RABL (Radiographic Alveolar Bone Loss) proximal method calculated using the Vernier callipers. Results: The results indicated that alveolar bone loss occurred after 1-week insertion on the mesial and distal was 0.003 mm; after 2-weeks insertion was 0.007 mm on the mesial and 0.025 mm on the distal; after 3-weeks insertion was 0.025 mm on the mesial and 0.019 mm on the distal; and after 4-weeks insertion was 0.075 mm on the mesial and 0.063 mm on the distal. Conclusion: Post bridge treatment, in terms of periapical radiography, found a mild alveolar bone loss based on the proximal RABL method.  Keywords: Bridge denture, periapical radiograph, alveolar bone.

Periodontal disease is one of the most common infectious diseases of humans. Immune responses to infection trigger loss of alveolar bone from the jaw and eventual tooth loss. We investigated the contribution of B cell IgD to alveolar bone loss by comparing the response of B cell normal BALB/cJ mice and IgD deficient BALB/c-Igh-5−/−Jmice to oral infection withPorphyromonas gingivalis, a gram-negative periodontopathic bacterium from humans.P. gingivalis-infected normal mice lost bone. Specific antibody toP. gingivaliswas lower and oral colonization was higher in IgD deficient mice; yet bone loss was completely absent. Infection increased the proportion of CD69+activated B cells and CD4+T cells in immune normal mice compared to IgD deficient mice. These data suggest that IgD is an important mediator of alveolar bone resorption, possibly through antigen-specific coactivation of B cells and CD4+T cells.
