o bjective : increased levels of oxidative stress markers in periodontitis have been reported by recent studies. malondialdehyde (mda) and superoxide dismutase (sod) are both in- creased during oxidative stress. the aim of this study was to detect and measure the level of oxidative stress markers in peri-implant crevicular fluid (picf). their correlation with peri-implant clinical parameters wa...

abstract glaucoma management in pregnant patients is a real challenge, especially when the glaucoma is not controlled with medications. we report the results of 6 incisional glaucoma surgeries for the management of medically uncontrolled glaucoma patients during pregnancy. this retrospective, case series was conducted on the 6 eyes of 3pregnant patients with uncontrolled glaucoma using maximum ...

introduction: speech intelligibility, the ability to be understood verbally by listeners, is the gold standard for assessing the effectiveness of cochlear implantation. thus, the goal of this study was to compare the speech intelligibility between normal-hearing and cochlear-implanted children using the persian intelligibility test.   materials and methods: twenty-six cochlear-implanted childre...

in this study, hydroxyapatite was coated on titanium substrates by plasma spraying process. a well-known porous and lamellar microstructure was found in the lateral and outer surface of coating. the phase composition was studied by xrd and the morphological and the microstructural aspects were investigated by scanning electron and optical microscopy. the hardness of coatings and substrates was ...

Abstract For years, researchers have quantified and appraised feed additives, steroidal implants, various management strategies, such as grain processing, limit feeding, or slick-bunk management, on the sole basis of responses in rate efficiency gain. Until recently, cattle were mainly sold live basis; however, many fed today are marketed a carcass value basis. Cattle uniformity at slaughter is...

o bjectives: the aim of the present randomized clinical trial was to evaluate marginal bone loss around two types of implants modified at the neck area: nobel active and nobel replace groovy, both manufactured by nobel biocare. materials and methods: a total of 25 nobel active and 21 nobel replace groovy implants were included in the present study. the implants were placed based on the relevant...

Background and Aim: Intraosseous implants can be placed using three different techniques: immediate, early, and delayed. The aim of this study was to compare the changes in the marginal bone level around implants after immediate and delayed im-plant placement. Materials and Methods: In the present prospective cohort study, 26 implants were placed in 26 patients divided into two groups. In grou...

Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice), Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitor (Celecoxib®) and gonadotropin releasing hormone analog (Diphereline®) to a control group on endometrial implants in rats. MaterialsAndMethods Endometriosis was induced in rats by auto transplantation and after confirmation, the rats were divided into 4 groups that were tre...

i ntroduction: bisphosphonates are  widely used  for  various bone  diseases including osteoporosis and bone tumors. one of the complications associated with these pharmaceutical agents is bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. this condition may be triggered by placement of dental implants. in turn,  osteonecrosis  of  the  jaw  may  cause  failure  in  osseointegration  of implants....
