The main aim of this study was to perform an integrative review on the enhanced bone healing by combining a flowable (injectable) platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and graft porous materials. A bibliographical search carried out several databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Scopus, Web Science) for relevant studies combined effect substitutes healing. chemical, biologic, physical properties PRF with bi...

Aim: Iliac crest (IC) is the most common source of bone for alveolar cleft repair, as it allows harvesting a large amount cancellous with high rate favorable outcomes. Its drawback donor-site morbidity. We propose new technique grafting using vomerine (VB), which, through grafting, reconstructs alveolus VB and simultaneously corrects nasal septum deviation. Method: performed 18 reconstructions ...

Objective: Leukocyte adhesion deficiency(LAD) is a scarce, autosomal recessive inherited disorder . LAD-I which is the most common type occurs due to mutations on the CD18 gene. This mutation leads to absence or severe reduction of leukocyte cell surface expression of ß2 integrin molecules which are necessary for the adhesion of the leukocytes to the endothelial cells, transendothelial mi...

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a reconstructive procedure of alveolar ridge using membranes. This procedure is indicated when there is no sufficient bone for implantation, or in the case of optimal implant installation for esthetic or functional needs. GBR can be performed before implant placement, when there is not enough bone for initial stability of implants and less predictable outcomes ...

INTRODUCTION Secondary bone grafting consists in a routine procedure on the treatment of patients with alveolar cleft. Usually, it is performed by the end of the mixed dentition, when the permanent canine is erupting, with autogenous cancellous bone from the iliac crest. OBJECTIVE The present article discusses the alternative of autogenous bone grafting with allogeneic bone, obtained from hum...

After single-lung transplantation (SLT) for emphysema, heterogeneity of ventilation distribution in the graft can be assessed by measuring the slope of the alveolar plateau, computed from a single-breath test, performed in lateral decubitus with this lung in the nondependent position. We tested the validity of this technique in patients with SLT for interstitial lung diseases (ILD). Twelve pati...

PURPOSE In the anterior maxilla, hard and soft tissue augmentations are sometimes required to meet esthetic and functional demands. In such cases, primary soft tissue closure after bone grafting procedures is indispensable for a successful outcome. This report describes a simple method for soft tissue coverage of a guided bone regeneration (GBR) site using the double-rotated palatal subepitheli...

Rehabilitation of the incomplete dentition by means of osseointegrated implants represents a highly predictable and widespread therapy. Advantages of oral implant treatment over conventional non-surgical prosthetic rehabilitation involve avoidance of removable dentures and tooth structure conservation of the remaining dentition. Implant placement necessitates sufficient bone quantity as well as...
