Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is a surgical emergency warranting prompt evaluation and treatment. It can occur with any elevation in interstitial pressure in a closed osseo-fascial compartment. Resultant ischaemic damage may be irreversible within six hours and can result in long-term morbidity and even death. The diagnosis is largely clinical with the classical description of 'pain out of p...

Dental implants are considered the first choice to replace lost or non-restorable teeth. However, posterior maxilla remains a challenge in its management because of quality bone maxilla. Osseo densification (OD) concept has been proposed literature improve primary implant stability, which is an important aspect osseointegration. Densah bur novel drills specially designed enhance density by dens...

One of the primary reasons for the development of base metal alloys for dental applications has been the escalating cost of gold throughout the 20th century. In addition to providing lower cost alternatives, these nonprecious alloys were also found to provide better mechanical properties and aesthetics for some oral applications. Additionally, certain base metal alloy systems are preferred beca...

Bone loss in the oral and maxillofacial region caused by trauma, tumors, congenital disorders, or degenerative diseases is a health care problem worldwide. To restore (reconstruct) these bone defects, human or animal bone grafts or alloplastic (synthetic) materials have been used. However, several disadvantages are associated with bone graft transplantation, such as limited bone volume, donor-s...

The basic problem with the fixation of a prosthesis, cemented or cementless, is biomechanical. The forces transmitted between it and bone will depend on the design and the surface geometry of the implant, the mechanical properties of its surface, and the operative technique. Biological problems may arise from the relative biocompatibility of the implant surface, its biochemistry, the quality of...
