Comparative study of two plastic materials, i.e. frozen cortical allobone and demineralized perforated (perfoost) was performed. Testing the samples from same part tibia carried out using Zwick 1464 apparatus. It showed that firmness perfoost lower than allobone: during compression - by 33%, switching 66%, bending 46% for metaphyseal sample 70% diaphyseal one. Perfoost possesses rigidity allows...

Introduction: Breast cancer represents a pathology that generates catastrophic impact and has recently increased its incidence survival due to timely diagnosis treatment. Therefore, improving the quality of life survivors become priority, offering reconstructive procedures reduce complications, costs, hospital stay, optimize resources. Material methods: 264 patients reconstructed with autologou...

PURPOSE Although orbital floor fractures are frequently treated by the Ethisorb patch or polydioxanone foil, the utility of these treatments in extensive fractures remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to examine objectively the extent to which such flexible absorbable materials can restore orbital geometry in comminuted and defect fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-one pa...

The importance of operative correction of congenital and acquired defects of the diaphragm has been well demonstrated by the numerous articles published on this subject over the past 30 years. The site and size of the diaphragmatic defect will seldom prevent primary closure; when it does, different methods of plastic repair can be employed (Gross, 1911; Sauerbruch, 1928; Rehn, 1919; Rives and B...

Temporomandibular joint reconstruction (TMJR) is often necessary for patients with severe and/or refractory TMJ disease who have failed conservative treatment. TMJR aids to improve masticatory function and is associated with improved quality of life outcomes. Currently, alloplastic reconstruction is considered as the treatment of choice in most severe TMJ disorders due to its many advantages in...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study is to assess the histological changes in the sinus mucosa adjacent to the alloplastic material used for subantral augmentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included ten sheep and a dog. The first group of five sheep underwent a sinus lift procedure, using PerioGlas as an augmentation material; the second similar group of sheep was the control group. The do...

Regenerative medicine provides different therapy alternatives alongside gold standard autogenous grafts for the treatment of periodontal or peri-implant osseous defects. Continuing progress in the field of alloplastic bone substitutes has yielded promising solutions to the appropriate indications with the membrane technique either alone or in combination with enamel matrix derivatives. Their cl...
