BACKGROUND Extensive literature exists about the use of the BFP in the treatment of oral defects but, to our knowledge, no article refers to the use of the BFP as a substitute of the membrane barriers for treatment of peri-implant bone defects. The aim was to evaluate the use of the buccal fat pad as a coating material for bone grafting in the peri-implant bone defect regeneration of immediate ...

Aim: Autologous fat grafting has gained acceptance as a technique to improve aesthetic outcomes in breast reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to share our clinical experience using autologous fat injection to correct contour deformities during breast reconstruction. Methods: A single surgeon, prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent autologous fat injection during b...

PURPOSE To examine the relationships between three measures of body fat-body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and total body fat percent-and markers of inflammation around dental implants in stable periodontal maintenance patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-three subjects were enrolled in this cross-sectional assessment. The study visit consisted of a physical examination that ...

Hip arthroplasty or hip replacement is a surgical procedure by which damaged cartilage and bone are removed from the joint replaced implants. performed in order to achive painless normal movements. Obesity characterized excessive accumulation of fat inside an organism it affects occurance arthrosis. Obese people make up 30% population developed countries. A vast majority recent research publica...

Reprogramming somatic cells into an ESC-like state, or induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, has emerged as a promising new venue for customized cell therapies. In this study, we performed directed differentiation to assess the ability of murine iPS cells to differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat in vitro and to maintain an osteoblast phenotype on a scaffold in vitro and in vivo. Embryoid ...

OBJECTIVES In this study, we investigated whether a high-fat diet (HFD) affected the bone implant connection (BIC) in peri-implant bone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four male rabbits were used in this study. Dental implant surgery was introduced into each tibia, and four implants were integrated into each animal. In both the normal diet (ND) group (n=2) and HFD group (n=2), 8 implants were integrat...

IntroductIon: The pyriform anatomy is sometimes underestimated and overlooked during patient evaluation for rhinoplasty. Several methods have been described to address the pyriform area and alter its anatomy. Among these methods are placement of paranasal implants, injectable, fat or cartilage grafting, orthodontic management with or without orthognathic surgery. We propose an objective approac...

To a great extent, animal growth is regulated by the pituitary gland and its secretions of growth hormone (somatotropin). Implants work by increasing (via the pituitary gland) growth hormone and insulin at the cellular level, which results in increased synthesis of muscle tissue and, frequently, reduced deposition of body fat. This causes a measurable increase in growth rate and improved feed e...
