Careful treatment planning, space management, augmentation of bone and attention to the details of implant surgical and prosthetic techniques are important factors when treating anterior maxilla specially replacement of missing teeth. This case report addresses a chair-side ridge augmentation procedure using autograft bone harvested with trephine drills and placed without using screws and the f...

BACKGROUND Breast augmentation is an elective surgery used to increase the size of the breast in females. This study was undertaken to determine the breast augmentation in Pakistani females. METHODS From 2006 to 2011, 43 female patients who underwent breast augmentation via infra-mammary, periareolar, trans-umbilical and fat transfer were enrolled. For augmentation, saline-filled or gel-fill...

The astronomical site parameters for the Magdalena Ridge Observatory (MRO) are being studied from numerous aspects including meteorological, environmental, seismic and sky quality (e.g. “seeing”, cloud cover). Results to date indicate that MRO is an excellent site for astronomical observing. Seeing measurements of less that 1 arc second in the optical are routinely obtained. Seismic conditions ...

According to the authors, breast augmentation can be safely performed with the use of well-monitored sedation anesthesia. They credit this method with a brief recovery period, fast return to normal activity, minimal discomfort, and more safety and convenience than general anesthesia.

Among the regenerative medicine technologies, the tissue engineering has emerged, in recent years, as a prominent tool, particularly given the tremendous developments in the field of synthetic polymer-based scaffolds. Scaffold surface coatings with either extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins or integrin-binding bioactive peptide sequences, such as RDG, proved to be extremely useful to enhance ce...

background and aims. autogenous onlay bone grafting is a common procedure for alveolar ridge augmentation. it has been suggested that the amount of healed bone after this technique would be significantly less than the initial quantity. the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the various parameters influencing the outcome of ridge augmentation procedures. materials and me...
