Not definitive, just definite.
Additional evidence on the excellent safety profile of DREAMS-2G was provided by the 24 months of clinical outcomes after implantation where the definite or probable scaffold thrombosis was absence (Fig. 7b) (Haude et al. 2017).
All bioactive materials after implantation resorb with a definite rate (depending on the phase composition and structure) followed by replacement of them with newly formed bone tissue.
Definite aim of the treatment should remain the implantation of an arthroplasty.
Implantation of an interspinous process device as definite treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis did not show the hypothesized short term superior effect over standard bony decompressive surgery.
Most ARC definite and probable stent thrombosis events occurred early, before 30 days post ZES implantation and there were no differences in late ARC definite and probable stent thrombosis among any of the study groups.
Markovic et al. [24] reported that when the fixture implantation was accompanied with sinus floor elevation in one stage, there was no definite advantage in the clinical success or implant stability, regardless of the presence or absence of the bone graft material.
With the purpose to create micropatterned surfaces, the substrates are modified by sequential implantation of Ca and P ions, known as basic ions of HA, through a mask with a definite design.
