This study investigated the adherence of periosteum to bone after elevation to document the temporal sequence of healing at the periosteal/bone interface. There has been a lack of consensus among surgeons as to the time required for healing at this interface; some believe that the healing achieves significant strength in a few days, whereas others believe that the periosteum does not adhere to ...

INTRODUCTION The medial thighplasty is a procedure where patients may attain superior mobility, hygiene, and cosmesis. Most surgeons use attachment of the superficial fascial system (SFS) of the thigh flap to the Colles fascia, whereas others attach the SFS to the pubic ramus periosteum. Because of a high complication profile, we aim to elucidate the clinical, biomechanical, and anatomic qualit...

OBJECTIVE To review complications and outcomes associated with latissimus-serratus-rib free flap oromandibular and midface reconstruction. DESIGN Retrospective medical record review. SETTING Two academic tertiary care medical centers. PATIENTS Twenty-eight patients with segmental resection of the mandible and 1 patient with combined resection of the mandible and maxilla after excision of ...

OBJECTIVE To use the periosteum as a barrier in treatment of buccal Grade II furcation defects of lower molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS This technique was performed on 12 patients with bilateral buccal Grade II furcation defects of lower molars. On a random basis, one furcation defect of each pair was selected for the control group and other for the experimental group. Debridement was done in t...

to evaluate differences in the root and canal configurations of mandibular permanent anterior incisors and canines in an iranian population by means of cone beam ct (cbct) images.four hundred cbct images of mandibular permanent incisors and canines that met the inclusion criteria were evaluated. vertucci's classification was used to evaluate the number of roots, number of root canals, root leng...

Under infiltration anaesthesia a hockey-stick incision, about 4 in. long, is made I-5 cm. in front of the tragus (Fig. i). A skin flap is reflected forwards and downwards and the fascia covering the temporalis muscle is exposed. Two parallel and nearly vertical incisions, 2 in. long and 8 mm. apart, are made in the temporalis fascia; these are joined at the base by a horizontal incision. The ve...

An autoradiographic study has been made of mouse femora from birth to one year of age. Tritiated thymidine was used to study the proliferative rate of various skeletal tissues. The labeling index of the periosteum was found to be highest at birth (0.085). At 8 weeks of age the index fell sharply to 0.007 and remained low throughout the entire period of study. Chondro-osteogenic cells of the per...

The cambium cells of the periosteum, which are known osteoprogenitor cells, have limited suitability for clinical applications of tissue engineering in their native state due to their low cell number (2-5 cells thick). Extracorporeal shock waves (ESWs) have been shown to cause rapid periosteal cambium cell proliferation and subsequent periosteal osteogenesis. This work investigates a novel stra...

At present there is no satisfactory treatment for deep osteochondral defects. Here we report the development of a biologic prosthetic composite containing periosteum from 2-month-old rabbits and a porous tantalum scaffold. When cultured under chondrogenic conditions, the composites form a robust hyaline-like cartilage outgrowth that is attached to the porous scaffold by fibrous tissue ingrowth....
