The case report will present some novel techniques for using a "staged" protocol utilizing strategic periodontally involved teeth as transitional abutments in combination with CBCT guided implant surgery. Staging the case prevented premature loading of the grafted sites during the healing phase. A CBCT following a tenting screw guided bone regeneration procedure ensured adequate bone to place a...

Morphogenesis in the developing embryo takes place in three dimensions, and in addition, the dimension of time is another important factor in development. Therefore, the presentation of sequential morphological changes occurring in the embryo (4D visualization) is essential for understanding the complex morphogenetic events and the underlying mechanisms. Until recently, 3D visualization of embr...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Bacterial infection of the orbital structures can affect all age groups, but is more frequent in pediatric populations. Prompt recognition, correct diagnosis, and adequate management are important if serious complications are to be avoided. This study sought to delineate the clinical, bacteriological and radiological findings, management and outcome of orbital cellulitis....

This paper investigates staged ... nancing in an environment where an entrepreneur faces an imperfect capital market and an investor faces moral hazard and uncertainty. Staged ... nancing plays two roles in this model: to control risk and to mitigate moral hazard. Using parametric functions and comparing staged ... nancing with upfront ... nancing, we discover a few interesting properties of st...
