Minimally invasive surgery is the next step in oral implantology using the "least invasive" procedure, with the fewest number of steps and smallest cost and adopts a philosophy that integrates the treatment objective using the least invasive surgical approach, with the removal of the minimal amount of healthy tissues prevention, regeneration and minimal intervention for the placement and replacement of oral tissues.Newer approaches towards implant site development involve minimal tissue trauma like Videoscope assisted-MIST, Guided implant surgery, Robotic assisted surgery, tissue engineering...

The implantation of living cells in scaffold materials (tissue engineered constructs [TECs]) has represented a new line in the field of soft tissue grafting. It has been suggested that one of the main advantages of living cell-based technology is the ability to communicate with the host by modulating cytokine expression.9 Living cellular constructs based on fibroblasts, keratinocytes alone or in combination have been developed and used as alternatives to autogenous soft tissue grafts in keratinized tissue augmentation and in root coverage procedures. Their promising advantages include reduced...

Les modifications de la composition et de la quantité de microbes dans les biofilms de la plaque dentaire peuvent entraîner une réponse immunitaire locale pro-inflammatoire dans les tissus conjonctifs de la barrière épithéliale et gingivale. Les cellules immunitaires pro-inflammatoires infiltrant le tissu conjonctif enflammé sécrètent des facteurs locaux qui induisent une signalisation paracrine vers les cellules osseuses sous-jacentes. L'inflammation chronique soutenue perturbe les actions "couplées" ostéoclastes-ostéoblastes, qui aboutissent finalement à la destruction de l'os...

Veränderungen in der Zusammensetzung und Menge von Mikroben in Zahnplaque-Biofilmen können eine lokale proinflammatorische Immunreaktion im Bindegewebe des Epithels und der Zahnfleischbarriere auslösen. In das entzündete Bindegewebe eindringende proinflammatorische Immunzellen sezernieren lokale Faktoren, die parakrine Signale an darunter liegende Knochenzellen auslösen. Anhaltende chronische Entzündungen stören die "gekoppelten" Osteoklasten-Osteoblasten-Aktionen, die letztlich zur Zerstörung des Alveolarknochens führen. Das Gebiet der Osteoimmunologie ist als Reaktion auf die...
