In therapeutically anticoagulated patients tooth extractions can be safely performed without altering the dose of anticoagulant medication if efficient local hemostasis is provided. In most cases; in patients with INR ≤ 3.0 after extraction of one or two teeth postoperative bleeding can be controlled with local pressure, without any additional local hemostatic measures.
A statistically significant difference between clinical and histopathological diagnosis has been found. The histopathological findings strongly suggest the necessity of complete curettage of lesions sizing >20 mm in order to prevent recurrences.
The loss of a single tooth or several teeth sometimes entails the augmentation of lost bony structures in order to provide optimal conditions for dental implant placement and subsequent prosthetic rehabilitation. A range of contemporary surgical procedures and a variety of dental materials for reconstruction of bony defects of the upper and lower jaws are available nowadays. The method described in this paper, i.e. the application of concentrated growth factors is one of the latest approaches which poses no risk of transmissible and allergic diseases and is at the same time cost effective.
Application of 3D CBCT images, computer-aided systems and software in manufacturing custom bone grafts represents the most recent method of guided bone regeneration. This method substantially reduces time of recovery and carries minimum risk of postoperative complications, yet the results fully satisfy the requirements of both the patient and the therapist.
Most recently, the application of titanium endosteal mini implants have proved to be one of good solutions in overcoming unfavorable anatomical conditions resulting in stability and retention of total lower dentures.
