Objective: To histologically compare three different alloplasts and assess bone regeneration Study Design: Bone core of grafts was procured from a grafted site after period 6 months implants were placed. The cores studied at higher magnification formation analyzed. Results: All the showed good results clinically, however β -TCP had shown better more as compared to others. Conclusion: Chronologi...

OBJECTIVES It was the aim of this study to determine thermal and histologic events resulting from soft tissue incision with three CO2 lasers: one emitting light energy via a hollow waveguide at 9.3 microns; the others emitting light energy at 10.6 microns, one via a hollow waveguide, the other through an articulated arm delivery system. STUDY DESIGN Thirty standardized incisions were made in ...

This study evaluated the clinical, radiographic, and histologic response to the composite use of Bio-Oss porous bone mineral and autogenous bone in combination with a Bio-Gide bilayer collagen membrane to achieve regeneration when treating human periodontal bone defects. Preoperative recordings for four treatment areas included radiographs, clinical probing depths, and attachment levels; these ...

This is the first study devoted to the histologic and histochemical characteristics of the orbicularis oculi muscle in children to the authors' knowledge. The orbicularis muscle was compared with extraocular, facial, and limb striated muscle. Light microscopy showed the orbicularis oculi muscle to be much smaller and more loosely packed than skeletal limb muscles. It further showed these muscle...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the spectral characteristics of lipids, choline-containing compounds, and glutamine-glutamate complex assessed with (1)H-MR spectroscopy with the histologic findings in patients with chronic hepatitis C. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Nine healthy controls and 30 patients with biopsy-proven hepatitis C virus-related liver disease participated in this p...
