BACKGROUND The use of osteotome for vertical bone augmentation and localized sinus elevation with minimal surgical trauma represents a suitable procedure to increase the vertical dimension of available bone for implant placement. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to report clinical and radiographic results of localized management of sinus floor (LMSF) in fresh molar sockets at 13-year follow-...

We report a 50-year-old patient who had secondary implantation of an aphakic Artisan (Ophtec) intraocular lens (IOL) that was placed vertically in the anterior chamber. The patient had had a perforating injury to the cornea that required corneal wound repair, lensectomy, and anterior vitrectomy. Because of the localized traumatic aniridia, the Artisan IOL could not be placed horizontally. Three...

background & aim: saffron (crocus sativus l.) formerly was important in turkey. saffron cultivation has been decreased and it is now only cultivated in three villages in this country. it is triploid and exclusively propagated in a vegetative way by corms. in turkey, saffron is traditionally planted by placing corms in rows randomly without grading or sorting; which results in placement of c...

Autogenous block bone grafts have been highly successful in treating human periodontal defects, restoring esthetics, and developing adequate bone volume for dental implant placement. Limitations in available donor bone, the need for an added surgical procedure, and other potential complications have made the use of allogenic bone graft materials an important alternative. One patient described i...

Food impaction is a commonly occurring entity evidenced in day-to-day dental practice. Various factors, such as improperly built proximal restoration, fabricated crown with interdental spacing, opposing plunger cusps, ill-fitting prosthesis and space created after orthodontic treatment by placement of molar bands, act reason for food getting impacted the dentition. But at same time, it neglecte...

Purpose Although ultrasound shows great potential for aiding assessment of LS disease activity, its use has been limited because both image acquisition and interpretation are operator dependent. To facilitate evaluating and to standardize interpretation of jLS ultrasound scans, we generated a scoring measure for evaluating echogenicity and vascularity differences (U-DA, Ped Rheum 2010;8:14). Ob...

Background: Biloma is a rare abnormal localized accumulation of bile out of biliary tree due to an injury that occurs usually postoperatively from an injured cystic or bile duct. While most bilomas collect in the subhepatic space, we describe a rare case of hepatic subcapsular biloma after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and ERCP which was done one week after surgery successfully treated by p...

Current magnetic coil stimulators can efficiently activate neural structures without deep electrode placement and the local discomfort associated with transcutaneous electrical stimulation used in pain control. We tested the possibility of reducing pain in patients with localized musculoskeletal processes by applying repetitive magnetic stimulation on the tender body region. Thirty patients wer...
