Background Mandibular continuity defects occur after tumor resection, maxillofacial injury, or osteomyelitis. Despite the current availability of a plethora of treatment modalities, bone substitutes, and various clinical adjuncts, an exact reconstructive recapitulation of large bony defects continues to be beyond reach. In this clinical pilot study, we report a novel method for reconstruction ...

conclusions the radiological findings of the present study showed that the use of a coral-dcfgp mixture led to superior bone defect healing and rapid graft incorporation when compared to the use of solely coral or dcfgp. background currently, coral is used as an osteoconductive material. demineralized calf fetal growth plate (dcfgp) has also been used as a source of osteoinduction. objectives t...

introduction: bone regeneration grafts (brg) are widely used in the treatment of osseous defects and oral surgery. the various techniques and associated success rates of bone augmentation require evaluation by systematic review and meta-analysis of eligible studies. the aim of this systematic review was to compare alveolar bone regeneration in humans using bio-oss and autogenous bone graft. mat...

periodontal regeneration in a one-wall intrabony defect is a challenging and complex phenomenon. the combination therapy of commercially available bone grafts with the innovative tissue engineering strategy, the platelet rich plasma, has emerged as a promising grafting modality for two and three walled intrabony osseous defects. the application of this combination approach was attempted in a mo...

background and aims. furcally-involved teeth present unique challenges to the success of periodontal therapy and influence treatment outcomes. this study aimed to assess to compare use of adm and connective tissue membrane in class ii furcation defect regeneration. materials and methods. 10 patient with 2 bilaterally class ii furcation defects in first and/or second maxilla or man-dibular molar...

Background: There are multiple methods for acceleration of bone healing. Bone marrow has been shown to contain osteoprogenitor cells. Objective: To determine the effect of percutaneous bone marrow injection on bone healing. Methods: 15 mature, 2-kg-weighing white New Zealand rabbits from both sexes were randomized into 3 groups: Group I: Only osteotomy of right radius was performed and a 5 mm b...

BACKGROUND It has been studied that the distribution of bone morphogenetic protein 2 is regular under bone defect situation. OBJECTIVE To observe the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 in rabbit radial defect site with different lengths. METHODS Forty-eight New Zealand rabbits were divided into two groups randomly. 0.5 cm bone defect and 3.0 cm bone defect were made by wire saw at t...
