La realización de esta tesis doctoral se centra en aplicar los últimos avances de la tecnología láser al campo de la cirugía en la cavidad bucal para obtener mejores resultados en cuanto a precisión, técnica, control de la hemostasia, desinfección de la zona quirúrgica y mejora en el postoperatorio de los pacientes que necesiten una...

Background: Cancer is a genetic disease caused by mutations in DNA and epigenetic alterations that control gene expression. The majority of epidermoid carcinomas develop within the fields of epithelial genetic alterations. The mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis of epidermoid carcinoma are as yet unknown; therefore, precise identifica tion of...

Our objective is to evaluate the regional regenerative potential of calvarial bone in critical- sized defects in a rabbit model using novel nanostructured silica-loaded membranes doped with zinc or doxycycline. Nanostructured membranes of (MMA)1-co-(HEMA)1/(MA)3-co-(HEA)2 loaded with 5 wt% of SiO2 nanoparticles (HOOC-Si-Membranes) were doped...

Background: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of diode lasers at different wavelengths and power settings in handmade incisions in periodontal pockets and in oral mucosa of porcine tissue considering thermal damage, necrosis and the affected area of the soft tissue. Material and Methods: Combining the following laser...

Background: Head and neck cancer are one of the most common neoplasm pathologies in humans. The aim of this study was to analyze the type, characteristics, treatment and evolution of oral neoplasm or precancerous lesion in a sample of Andalusian population (Spain) derived from the Oncology Rehabilitation Hospital Unit during a period of 20...

Background: Despite efforts to prevent postoperative discomfort, there are still many immediate side effects associated with the surgical extraction of impacted lower third molars. Cicatrization is a physiological process through which the loss of integrity of oral mucosa is recovered and damaged tissues are repaired. Bexident Post (ISDIN,...

Background: Stereolithography, which consists of computer-aided designed/computer-aided manufactured (CAD CAM) and computer simulations, is a manufacturing technologies used for the production of definitive models and prototypes printed in three dimensions, and is widely used in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Surgical proce dures using models...

Background: This study aims to evaluate whether the uptake difference by the condyles evaluated using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) examination is useful for predicting the activity of the feature and the advance of this pathology. Material and Methods: An observational and prospective study has been carried out on nine...

Background: The insertion torque of dental implants will depend on a combination of different factors such as bone density, the design of the implant and the drilling protocol used. However, it is not clear how the interaction of these factors affects the final insertion torque and which drilling protocol should be used in each clinical situa...

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone-regeneration efficiency of novel polymeric nanostructured membranes and the effect of zinc, calcium, titanium, and bone morpho-protein loading on membranes, through an in vivo rabbit model. Material and methods Nanostructured membranes of methylmethacrylate were loaded with zinc, calcium,...

Background: To evaluate, over a 2-year period, the treatment outcomes for maxillary full-arch fixed dental pros theses (FDPs) supported by a combination of both tilted and axially-placed implants and to compare the marginal bone loss (MBL) and implant survival rates (SR) between tilted and axial implants. Material and Methods: A retrospective...
