statement of problem: the guided bone regeneration (gbr) technique does not always produce consistent results. bone filling within the space provided by the membrane can be incomplete. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a collagen membrane (bio-gide) in combination with or without deproteinezed bovine bone mineral (bio-oss) on the healing of calvarial defects in rabbit...

intraosseous migration is an unusual developmental dental anomaly, which demonstrates horizontal movement of unerupted teeth only affecting the permanent dentition of the lower jaw. mandibular second premolar is the most common impacted tooth after the third molars and maxillary canines. distal migration of the second premolar is rare and early loss of the permanent first molar is one of the mo...

The objective of this investigation was to study the effectiveness of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) membranes for enhancement of bone ingrowth through subperiosteally implanted collagen/HA composite blocks. Twelve rabbits aged 12-15 months served as the experimental animals in this study. Two compressed Collagen/HA composite blocks in the shape of two attached cylinders of different...

BACKGROUND To improve and combat the limitations of healing capacity of periodontal tissues, quite a few research methods have evaluated the benefits of GTR inflection by root surface conditioning agents. OBJECTIVE To assess the periodontal regeneration by utilizing the bioresorbable membrane in the intrabony defects with and without the use of TTC-HCl root conditioning. STUDY DESIGN A case...

patients and methods previously recorded data of 231 patients who underwent surgical closure of vsd between january 2009 and january 2012 at the rajaie cardiovascular medical and research center were retrospectively reviewed. vsd surgical repair was performed using continues suturing technique in group a patients (n = 163, 70.6%) and interrupted suturing technique in group b patients (n = 68, 2...

Local periodontal therapy primarily consists of supraand subgingival debridement, and instruction and motivation for the improvement of oral hygiene. Effective regular mechanical plaque control has been proven to be one of the most important measures to avoid and control recurrence of infection (Axelsson and Lindhe, 1978; Axelsson and Lindhe, 1981a; Axelsson and Lindhe, 1981b). In addition resi...

Objective Alendronate (ALN) inhibits osteoclastic bone resorption and triggers osteostimulative properties both in vivo and in vitro, as shown by increase in matrix formation. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of 1% ALN gel as local drug delivery (LDD) in adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of chronic periodontitis among smokers. Material and Methods 75 intrabon...

Close root proximity between the maxillary central incisors presents a problem in the surgical management of a maxillary palatal expansion. During the surgical fracture of this interdental area, the possibility exists for a separation to occur between the root surface and the bone. If this does occur, it is paramount that the gingival attachment remain intact. Asymmetric separation places more ...
