osteoporosis as a skeletal disorder characterize by compromised bone strength predisposing a person to an increased risk of fracture. all people should be encouraged to take efforts to prevent bone loss and fractures. nutrition is one of several factors that can be modified to reduce osteoporosis risk. the purpose of this review article is assessment the role of the other nutrients the exceptio...

a functional treatment for skeletal damages in orthopedic and oral maxillofacial surgeries is required. platelet growth factors such as platelet derived growth factor (pdgf), bone morphogenic factor (bmp), transferring growth factor-β (tgf-β) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (igf-1) proceed wound healing and bone regeneration. in the present study we focused on the effect of platelet rich plasm...

the primary carcinoma may secondarily invade bone tissue through direct extensions, blood circulation or lymphatic transportation particulary when it is arising from breast, prostate, kidney, thyroid and lung. metastatics tumors of bone are more common than primary tumor of bone. the most common tumor, which metastasizes into bone, is the breast adenocarcinoma. some metastatic tumors of bone in...

introduction: the low regeneration of bone in defective bones causes therapeutic problems. various strategies to assess the healing of bone defects have been used which they include histological and histo-chemical analysis in an invasive study. the purpose of this study was to determine the ultrasonic parameters of bone as a promising noninvasive technology for assessing bone repair process. ma...

Objective(s):To study the effect of low-frequency vibration on bone marrow stromal cell differentiation and potential bone repair in vivo. Materials and Methods:Forty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into five groups with eight rabbits in each group. For each group, bone defects were generated in the left humerus of four rabbits, and in the right humerus of the other four rabbits. To t...

o bjectives: pneumatized articular eminence or tubercle (pat) is an air cell cavity in the zygomatic process of the temporal bone. pneumatization of articular eminence may be seen incidentally on panoramic radiographs (pr) as a unilocular or multilocular, radiolucent defect. the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and the pattern of pat on pr in an iranian population. materials and m...
