Allograft vs SteinerBio in a Histopathological Critical Size Defect, Non-Clinical GLP Study

March 19, 2021 UncategorizedSteinerBio

Most clinicians know that a critical size defect study is when defects are created in bone that will not heal without treatment. This type of study allows us to compare the performance of a bone graft material to a site that has had no treatment. However, few clinicians know what a non-clinical GLP study entails...

Osteonecrosis of the Jaw: Etiology and Prevention

March 19, 2021 UncategorizedSteinerBio

Recent studies have increased our understanding of the etiology of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) and its prevention. The bisphosphonates are known to precipitate ONJ and because these medications are known to be toxic to osteoclasts, it was assumed that ONJ was a disease of bone. New knowledge now questions that assumption...

3D Printing for Regeneration of Skeletal Defects

March 19, 2021 UncategorizedSteinerBio

The ability to 3D print exact replacement parts that regenerate into normal functional skeletal tissue has been a goal of academic and industrial research for many years with no products achieving the goal to date. Our team at SteinerBio has been in pursuit of this goal for many years and we are pleased to announce a major breakthrough...

Predictable Immediate Implant Esthetics

March 19, 2021 UncategorizedSteinerBio

Immediate implants are a terrific service to the patient. Achieving ideal esthetics and 100% bone integration to the surface of the implant has been challenging. Immediate implant placement with temporization can produce ideal esthetics but the production of an esthetic temporary is time-consuming and the incidence of failure to integrate is much higher....

Sinus Pathology, Socket Graft Failure, and How to Prevent Maxillary Alveolar Collapse

March 19, 2021 UncategorizedSteinerBio

Loss of maxillary posterior alveolar bone resulting in the need for sinus augmentation is common and it often occurs rapidly after extraction. To better understand the problem and find a solution, we will look at the factors that contribute to maxillary posterior alveolar bone resorption...

Vitamin D: Bone Health and Implant Integration

March 10, 2021 UncategorizedSteinerBio

As bone graft technology improves, clinical therapy improves. Quicker completion of treatment, both from a perspective of length of time to complete therapy and length of chair time, benefit both dentist and patient. Elimination of invasive surgical therapy again benefits both dentist and patient…

Periodontal Bone Loss Is Not A Disease

September 4, 2020 UncategorizedSteinerBio

Our complete skeleton grows and changes throughout life with no physiologic interaction with inflammation. Normal bone formation and remodeling does not share metabolic pathways with inflammation. Acute inflammation is involved in fracture healing…

Ridge Augmentation and the Etiology of Buccal Alveolar Resorption

September 3, 2020 UncategorizedSteinerBioLeave a comment

The following ridge augmentation case is interesting in its own light, but what is more interesting is what it can teach us about bone resorption. We will discuss why buccal resorption occurs and propose treatment that might limit the loss of buccal bone after tooth extraction.

Sinus Augmentation and Head and Neck Cancer Therapy

September 3, 2020 UncategorizedSteinerBio

Sinus Augmentation and Head and Neck Cancer Therapy The following patient was referred for implant replacement of his first molar (#3). During the examination, a visible mass was noted on the left sternocleidomastoid muscle. The mass was examined and appeared to be a swollen lymph node. The patient reported that he was previously treated for testicular cancer many years ago. The patient was referred to an ENT and instructed not to return for implant placement until cleared by the physician. The patient had a biopsy of the mass and was cleared by his physician for implant placement. He did not…
