BACKGROUND: Dental disease, trauma and maxillofacial surgeries can cause alveolar bone defects. Among different kinds of treatment, autogenous bone grafts is accepted as a golden standard. On the other hand, because of limitation of treatment with autogenous bone grafts, osteogenic cells derived from stem cells are suggested. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the mean density of ...

BACKGROUND: Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is one of the most common congenital deformities involving intervention in several sub-specialties. AIM: The present study was conducted to investigate amount maxillary advancement obtained by three different methods. METHODS: A retrospective comparative on 24 CLP patients who were treated with surgical techniques: Group Le Fort I (LFI) orthognathic surger...

Background : Cleft lip and cleft palate are the most common congenital craniofacial anomalies treated by plastic surgeons. The incidence of is higher at lower socioeconomic levels. Hospital Social Responsibility (HSR) in Gatot Soebroto Central Army provides free surgeries to those who need it most. HSR services still be evaluated, get an overview epidemiologic profile patients, improve itself. ...

Introduction: Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is the most common congenital facial anomaly. Its incidence varies according to epidemiologic studies but is usually between 1 and 1.82 for each 1000 births. The etiology of this malformation is complex and includes both genetic and environmental factors. Case Presentation: In this article a 13-year-old girl with CLP is presented.

At 1‐year and 9‐month post‐operative period, the patient had good bulk in her upper lip with an aesthetically pleasing result [Figure 4]. An advantage of this technique is that the deformity could be addressed in one sitting without the requirement of procedures such as derma‐fat grafting which requires a separate incision. To conclude, a primary vermilion V‐Y advancement along with a Millard’s...

We introduce a two-dimensional lattice model of immobilization and stabilization of proteinlike polymers using grafted polymers. The protein is designed to have a specific bulk conformation reproducing a catalytic cleft of natural enzymes. Our model predicts a first order denaturing adsorption transition of free proteins. On the other hand, for an immobilized protein we observe a more gradual d...
