Aim: Mucoadhesive buccal films provide drug delivery for both local and systemic circulation with increased patient compliance. The objective of this study was to develop a film containing benzydamine hydrochloride (BNZ) by using hyaluronic acid (HA) as film-forming agent glycerin (Gly) plasticizer the anti-inflammatory effect on mucosal ulcer. Material Methods: effects different concentrations...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to measure the buccal bone thickness and angulation of the maxillary incisors and to analyze the correlation between these parameters and the root position in the alveolar bone using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS CBCT images of 398 maxillary central and lateral incisors from 199 patients were retrospectively reviewed. The roo...

The aim of this article is to study the buccal patches. Buccal patch is a nondissolving thin matrix modified release dosage form composed of one or more polymer films or layers containing the drug and/or other excipients. Buccal patches have been become an interesting area of novel drug delivery system as the dosage forms designed for buccal administration should not cause irritation and should...

It is unclear if buccal cell samples contain sufficient human DNA with adequately sized fragments for high throughput genetic bioassays. Yet buccal cell sample collection is an attractive alternative to gathering blood samples for genetic epidemiologists engaged in large-scale genetic biomarker studies. We assessed the genotyping efficiency (GE) and genotyping concordance (GC) of buccal cell DN...

Buccal mucoadhesive systems among novel drug delivery systems have attracted great attention in recent years due to their ability to adhere and remain on the oral mucosa and to release their drug content gradually. Buccal mucoadhesive films can improve the drug therapeutic effect by enhancement of drug absorption through oral mucosa increasing the drug bioavailability via reducing the hepatic f...

in recent decades, most of researchers in pharmaceutical preparations have focused increasingly on new formulations that control the site and amount of drug delivery. mucoadhesive dosage forms are available for systemic or local treatment. the mucoadhesive dosage forms are introduced in various forms such as tablets, gels, ointments, patches and polymeric films. for buccal wound and injury the ...

This study compared two different radiographic techniques for localization of impacted maxillary canines: vertical parallax (from a panoramic and a maxillary anterior occlusal radiograph) and magnification (from a single panoramic radiograph). The radiographs and the information regarding the impacted canines were obtained retrospectively from records of patients treated in the Day Stay Unit of...

Purpose: To develop a chitosan microsphere carrier system of bupivacaine for buccal administration. Methods: Chitosan microspheres loaded with bupivacaine were prepared by emulsification technique based on glutaraldehyde cross-linking and drug-loaded chitosan microsphere were coated with polyglycolic acid (PGA) film The formulated microspheres were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), diff...

A high rate of root exposure and consequently the exposure of the furcation area is usually observed in multirooted teeth. In maxillary molar teeth, this fact may endanger the three existent furcations (buccal, mesial and distal), causing serious problems. In this research, distance measures from the buccal furcation to the mesial (F1M) and distal (F1D) surfaces of the mesio-buccal and disto-bu...
