CBCT Evaluation of Bony Nasal Pyramid Dimensions in Iranian Population: A Comparative Study with Ethnic Groups

Background. The aim of the present study was to have normative data of nasal bone thickness for use before reconstructive surgery and nasal augmentation through radiography analysis. Methods and Materials. In this descriptive-analytical study, 74 patients were selected from people referred to Radiology Department of Isfahan University for CBCT examination in 2012. Patients with a history of nas...

Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of the mandible and bony nasal septum with intracranial expansion

Fibrous dysplasia; Nasal cavity; Skull base; Endoscopic sinus surgery Abstract Fibrous dysplasia is an uncommon benign tumour in the nasal cavity. Due to adjacent vital soft tissue structures surgery is often the treatment of choice. We report a rare case of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of the mandible and the ethmoid bone including nasal bony septum with intracranial expansion, and include a ...

Potential roles of growth factor PDGF-BB in the bony repair of injured growth plate.

Injured growth plate cartilage is often repaired by bony tissue resulting in impaired bone growth in children. Using a rat injury model, our previous studies show that following the injury-induced initial inflammatory response, an influx of mesenchymal-like cells occurs within the growth plate injury site prior to formation of bony tissue. As platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB) is a potent...
