Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been regarded as a risk for bone health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of CKD on bone defect repair in rats. Uremia was induced by subtotal renal ablation, and serum levels of BUN and PTH were significantly elevated four weeks after the second renal surgery. Calvarial defects of 5-mm diameter were created and implanted with or without deprotei...

From the last few years, the inclusion of microbial phytase in poultry diets has increased significantly, mainly in response to heightened concerns over phosphorus pollution of the environment and as cheaper means to make phosphorus available to birds from phytate. Phytate is the major form of phosphorus, abundantly found in cereal grains, beans and oilseed meals used in poultry diet but the mo...

Objectives The aim was to analyse the outcomes of early implant placement after 6 and 12 weeks healing in ridge preserved sites a canine model. Materials methods Implants were placed second maxillary incisors 9 dogs grafting sockets with 90% deproteinized bovine bone mineral 10% collagen matrix (DBBMC) closure resorbable type I/III porcine (PCM). implants randomly assigned (T6) (T12) healing. R...

background: the advances in treatment regimes for thalassemic patients have increased the survival among them therefore osteoporosis has emerged as an important cause of morbidity. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia in patients with thalassemia from zafar adult thalassemia clinic, tehran, iran. patients and methods: in this cross sectional inves...

background: osteoporosis is a preventable and treatable disorder, reported with higher prevalence patients with ulcerative colitis but their relationship is controversial. osteoporosis in these patients may be attributes to corticosteroid use, malnutrition and reduced intake of calcium and vitamin d, lower levels of sex hormones, chronic inflammation and inflammatory cytokines. the aim of study...

background: celiac disease (cd), as an autoimmune disease has initiated since ingestion of food containing gluten. constant intolerance to gluten causes damages of the small intestinal mucosa. one reason of mal-absorption in children and infants is cd. additionally, about 75% of newly identified patients with cd have low bone mineral density (bmd). many factors have role in metabolic bone disea...

BACKGROUND studies in humans and animals have shown that following tooth removal (loss), the alveolar ridge becomes markedly reduced. Attempts made to counteract such ridge diminution by installing implants in the fresh extraction sockets were not successful, while socket grafting with anorganic bovine bone mineral prevented ridge contraction. AIM to examine whether grafting of the alveolar s...

This study reviews the outcome of implant placement in 61 patients after augmentation of severely atrophic alveolar bone with a bovine bone mineral, Bio-Oss. Bone augmentation was performed at 4 different sites: alveolar crest width, alveolar crest height, antral cavity, or nasal cavity. After a mean healing time of 11.9 months, 231 implants were placed in Bio-Oss bone. The time of loading of t...

The mechanical properties of fully demineralized, fully deproteinized and untreated cortical bovine femur bone were investigated by compression testing in three anatomical directions (longitudinal, radial and transverse). The weighted sum of the stress-strain curves of the treated bones was far lower than that of the untreated bone, indicating a strong molecular and/or mechanical interaction be...
