Implants modified with polymeric nanofibers coating containing the antibiotic vancomycin

Objective(S): Implant-related infections are disastrous complications in the clinic. One recent strategy to reduce the rate of infection is using the bioactive coating with an antibiotic. The purpose of these bioactive surfaces is to prevent bacterial adhesion to the implant and, consequently, the development of biofilm. In this study, vancomycin-loaded polymeric coating on imp...

Guided bone regeneration with subperiosteal implants of PTFE and hydroxyapatite physical barriers in rats.

Regeneration of periodontal and alveolar ridge defects utilizing membranes is a well-established procedure in reconstructive surgery. Biomaterial characteristics and membrane design employed in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) techniques play an important role in good results. The purpose of this histologic experimental study in rats was to compare the use of two physical barriers in the osteop...

Modified major amblyoscope.

Angle between Fixation Axes (" Objective" Angle of Squint) The most commonly used methods of determining this angle depend on abolishing any ocular movement when fixation changes from one eye to the other. In using the major amblyoscope for this purpose, a fixation object is supplied alternately to each eye, the arms of the instrument being adjusted until no ocular movement takes place. There i...
