Objective:
The aim of the sthudy. To study the influence of general and local factors on the regenerative potential of bone tissue to optimize augmentation mechanisms in the treatment of jaw atrophy.
Materials And Methods:
The influence of general and local factors on the regenerative potential of the bone during the augmentation operation of the alveolar process (part) of the jaw in 68 patients was studied. The survival rate of dental implants and the incidence of complications after completion of dental rehabilitation in the long-term follow-up period (more than 5 years) were evaluated. 18 indicators were studied, which were evaluated by qualitative and quantitative methods. The study of the effect of indicators on regeneration was carried out using an accurate Fischer test for conjugacy tables. The assessment of the strength of the influence was calculated as the ratio of the chances of developing an unfavorable outcome of bone grafting and dental implantation.
Results:
He highest chances of developing adverse outcomes were found in smoking patients with diabetes mellitus, high body mass index, low survival of bone walls, severe bone atrophy (5.6 and higher class according to Cawood & Howell), three-dimensional bone defect, in the absence of 3 or more bone walls, the presence of subcompensated and decompensated psychological state the patient. In the course of histological examination, the influence of these factors on the mechanisms of reparative osteogenesis morphologically manifested a lower degree of progress of regenerative processes and a lower degree of maturity of bone tissue.
Conclusion:
To reduce the chances of developing an unfavorable outcome, in the presence of negative general and local factors, it is not advisable to use dental implantation simultaneously with bone augmentation procedures. In order to reduce the pathophysiological impact of negative factors during sinus lifting, increase the proportion of autosteal material for potentiating the metabolic activity of bone tissue, as well as prescribe antioxidant, antihypoxant and membrane stabilizing therapy before surgery and in the early postoperative period.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...
