Tissue response to aqueous drainage in a functioning Molteno implant.
The tissue reaction to a functioning Molteno implant has been studied by light microscopy and by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The material was obtained from an aphakic 83-year-old human eye which required enucleation because of intractable bullous keratopathy, despite well controlled intraocular pressure. The tissue response around the silicone rubber tube was that of simple f...
متن کاملSurgical technique: complex glaucoma case requiring Molteno drainage tube extension
A 42-year-old man has been under long-term follow-up since he was a child for congenital glaucoma and buphthalmos in both eyes. His left eye best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was counting fingers, due to end-stage glaucoma. He was on maximal medical therapy with an intraocular pressure (IOP) maintained at mid to low twenties. His right eye, the only seeing eye, had a BCVA of 6/9. This eye had...
متن کاملBone tissue response to plasma-nitrided titanium implant surfaces
A current goal of dental implant research is the development of titanium (Ti) surfaces to improve osseointegration. Plasma nitriding treatments generate surfaces that favor osteoblast differentiation, a key event to the process of osteogenesis. Based on this, it is possible to hypothesize that plasma-nitrided Ti implants may positively impact osseointegration. Objective The aim of this study wa...
متن کاملMarginal Tissue Response to Different Implant Neck Design
Early clinical reports on osseointegration of dental implants have reported success rates of 81% in maxilla and 91% in mandible after 15 years, with marginal bone loss of 1.5 mm in the first year and approximately 0.1 mm annually from there after. This satisfied the success criteria which were published in the years to follow; they were clinical stability, in function without any symptoms and w...
متن کاملLong-term results of Molteno implant insertion in cases of neovascular glaucoma.
OBJECTIVE To describe the long-term outcomes of cases of neovascular glaucoma drained by Molteno implants. METHODS A prospective study of 145 eyes (130 patients) followed up for a mean of 3.3 years (range, 0.02 year [5 days] to 18.1 years) in the province of Otago, New Zealand, from 1979 to 2002. RESULTS Insertion of a Molteno implant controlled the intraocular pressure at 21 mm Hg or less ...
