Alveolar preservation can minimize bone resorption after tooth removal and additional topical antibiotics might also be considered. The goal of this study was to observe alveolar with albumin gentamycin-coated allograft compared unfilled control sockets mandibular third molar removal. Twenty-two patients were involved, 11 in the group test group. CBCT analysis micromorphometric performed. After...

INTRODUCTION Different types of grafts have been described in urethral reconstruction (UR), with penile skin graft (PSG) and buccal mucosa graft (BMG) as the most frequently used ones. It still remains unclear whether one graft is superior in terms of success when compared to the other. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed searching the MEDLINE database wit...

It is difficult to reconstruct an alar defect with cartilage involvement. Here in the authors report a case of traumatic alar loss during childhood in which an alar reconstruction was carried out with a composite auricular graft put over the pedicle buccal flap which was rotated and passed through the intraoral side. The lining skin and auricular cartilage for the flap was obtained from the aur...

This case report documents the first use of particulate autogenous bone graft with the corticotomy-assisted rapid orthodontic procedure known as periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO). A 41-year-old man, with class II, division 2 crowded occlusion, was treated with the PAOO procedure. Buccal mucoperiosteal flaps were reflected, and selected vertical and horizontal corticotomy ...

BACKGROUND Urethral stricture disease is prevalent, and many surgical techniques have been developed to treat it. Currently, urethroplasty for bulbar strictures implies ventral or dorsal stricturotomy and a buccal mucosa graft (BMG) patch. OBJECTIVE To describe the surgical approach of the ventral patch BMG urethroplasty for proximal bulbar urethral stricture and to analyze 11 consecutive cas...

PURPOSE Various surgical techniques target achieving adequate keratinized tissue around dental implants; however, these techniques are usually performed before implant placement or upon the exposure of submerged implants. The aim of this case report is to describe a simultaneous placement of an interpositional free gingival graft (iFGG) with that of nonsubmerged implants in a patient lacking ke...

OBJECTIVE To compare the outcomes of three different urethroplasty techniques (onlay, buccal mucosa, Koyanagi type I) used in the reconstruction of severe hypospadias. PATIENTS AND METHODS Over 10 years (1997-2007), 300 severe hypospadias cases were treated with a mean follow up of 2 years (1-105 months); 203 were operated by the same surgeon of whom 184 completed follow up. Three main techni...

Over the past 2 decades use of dental implants to advance functional and esthetic demands dentition has amplified significantly. Patients today have become extremely concerned about esthetics which an integral part periodontal practice. One major factors contributing improved is soft hard tissue management. A chief concern defects around implant restoration. Implant dehiscences compromise aesth...

BACKGROUND In the case of buccal mucosa graft (BMG) urethroplasty for penile urethral strictures (PUS), it is supposed that the ventral onlay (VO) would not assure sufficient nutritional and mechanical support. Because VO requires only one ventral incision of the stenotic urethral segment and does not affect the urethral vasculature, we have design a prospective study related to this issue. M...

Objective: To analyze preoperative CBCT assessment of intraoral donor sites (symphysis, ramus buccal shelf bone, zygomatic buttress and maxillary tuberosity) for purpose autogenous block graft. Materials Methods: Twenty (5 each graft) participants were included in the study, (informed consent was signed by participant) Participants recruited according to certain eligibility criteria. Results: T...
