BACKGROUND The aim was to assess the alveolar ridge alteration around extraction sites with and without immediate implants according to extraction socket classification (ESC) using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten beagle dogs (mean age and weight: 24 ± 0.83 months and 13.8 ± 0.49 kg, respectively) were randomly divided into three groups according to the ESC. In Gr...

[1] Hydrothermal venting along the global mid‐ocean ridge system plays a major role in cycling elements and energy between the Earth’s interior and surface. We use the distribution of helium isotopes along an oceanic transect at 67°S to identify previously unobserved hydrothermal activity in the Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. Combining the geochemical information provided by the helium i...

Diuretic activity [ p(1/C)] of benzene sulfonamides was modeled using 13 C NMR chemical shift ( as a molecular descriptor. The regression analyses were carried out using regular as well as Ridge multiple regression analyses. Application of variety of statistics namely ( statistics, Ridge regression and parameter derived there were used for modeling the diuretic activity. Results have shown that...

AIM To compare the effectiveness of two-ridge preservation treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty subjects with extraction sockets exhibiting substantial buccal dehiscences were enrolled and randomized across 10 standardized centres. Treatments were demineralized allograft plus reconstituted and cross-linked collagen membrane (DFDBA + RECXC) or deproteinized bovine bone mineral with collagen...

BACKGROUND In the case of localized ridge atrophy, a ridge augmentation procedure, with the use of bone substitutes and barrier membranes, may then be necessary. PURPOSE The aim of the present study was a clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical evaluation of an equine spongy bone in alveolar ridge augmentation procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five patients showing horizontal mandib...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to determine the relation of osteoporosis and body mass index to edentulous jaw bone resorption. MATERIAL AND METHODS Study included 48 postmenopausal totally edentulous female patients, aged 50 to 84 years (average age 69.73), with period of at least 2 years after last tooth extraction. Bone mineral density was determined in the femoral neck and the lumbar ...
