Background and Aim: Tissue adhesives can be used as an alternative to conventional sutures in periodontal surgery. The free gingival graft (FGG) is a technique used to increase the zone of keratinized gingiva. The shrinkage of FGGs is a well-known clinical phenomenon. However, to our knowledge, there is no data available regarding the dimensional changes in FGG procedure using non-suturing tech...

Skin laceration repair is an important skill in family medicine. Sutures, tissue adhesives, staples, and skin-closure tapes are options in the outpatient setting. Physicians should be familiar with various suturing techniques, including simple, running, and half-buried mattress (corner) sutures. Although suturing is the preferred method for laceration repair, tissue adhesives are similar in pat...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Numerous methods are used in the correction of deviated septal cartilage. One of these methods is to perform partial-thickness incisions (scoring) on the concave side of the deviated cartilage. In this retrospective report, we present a series of patients who were treated by filling the scoring incision gaps with cyanoacrylate-based tissue adhesives to increase the effecti...

purpose: to present our experience with cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive in eyes with exposed hydroxyapatite orbital implants. methods: cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive was used in 3 patients with hydroxyapatite orbital implant exposure defects. results: cyanoacrylate glue was applied on the defective area of 3 patients presenting with small exposure (<4mm). the patients were followed for 33 months (...

Partial or complete dislodgement of intravascular catheters remains a significant problem in hospitals despite current securement methods. Cyanoacrylate tissue adhesives (TA) are used to close skin wounds as an alternative to sutures. These adhesives have high mechanical strength and can remain in situ for several days. This study investigated in vitro use of TAs in securing intravascular cathe...

statement of problem: recently, it has been proposed that different adhesive materials can be used for direct pulp capping. previous studies have demonstrated that multi steps dentin adhesives could form reparative dentin similar to calcium hydroxide (ch). purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the histological pulp response of ninety mechanically exposed cat pulps to two adhesive resin...

The remarkable underwater adhesion strategy employed by mussels has inspired bioadhesives that have demonstrated promise in connective tissue repair, wound closure, and local delivery of therapeutic cells and drugs. While the pH of oxygenated blood and internal tissues is typically around 7.4, skin and tumor tissues are significantly more acidic. Additionally, blood loss during surgery and isch...

Background: Fibrin-based biological adhesives are used for tissue adhesion improving the outcome of gastrointestinal sutures. The objective was to assess the effectiveness of fibrin-based biological adhesives for prevention of anastomotic leakage in high-risk gastrointestinal anastomoses. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was designed to recruit patients underwent a rectal resection surgery....

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to synthesize two new siloxane-methacrylate (SM) monomers for application in dentin adhesives and to investigate the influence of different functionality of the siloxane-containing monomers on the adhesive photopolymerization, water sorption, and mechanical properties. METHODS Two siloxane-methacrylate monomers (SM1 and SM2) with four and eight met...

. AIM: This study evaluates marginal sealing ability of currently available three self-etching adhesives in class V micro fill composite restorations. Materials and methods: Forty five human central incisors, divided in to three groups and class V cavities were prepared on the facial surface of teeth with occlusal margin in enamel and gingival margin in dentin/cementum. The cavities were restor...
