background breast augmentation is the most frequent procedure performed according to the 2009 quick facts report of the american society of plastic surgeons. this study presents the periareolar extra-glandular breast augmentation. methods from 2004 to 2010 among 32 female patients, peri-areolar incision was performed for breast augmentation. dissection was performed in subcutaneous plane toward...

introduction here we report an unusual case of massive stone formation in augmented urinary bladder. case presentation a 25-year-old man presented with recurrent urinary tract infection ten years after augmentation cystoplasty after a complex pelvic fracture urethral distraction defect. on evaluation by ultrasonography, x-ray, and computed tomography of abdomen showed large burden of stones in ...

background: several grafting materials have been used for alveolar ridge augmentation. the literature lacks researches to compare cenobone to other grafting materials. the aim of this study was to compare cenobone/cenomembrane complex to bio-oss/bio-gide complex in lateral alveolar bone augmentation in terms of radiographic, histologic, and histomorphometric parameters. materials and methods: i...

the aim of this study was to compare the lateral window and osteotome techniques for sinus lifting using histological and histomorphometric methods.in this clinical trial 10 patients (a total number of 14 sinus areas) who needed implant treatment in the atrophic posterior maxilla were enrolled. in all the cases the residual bone height between the sinus floor and the alveolar crest was less tha...

introduction in spite of multiple applications of bioactive glasses, these materials have not been evaluated yet for ridge augmentation. due to the large number of patients who need ridge augmentation and the benefits of nova bone, in comparison with other alloplasts, this study was fulfilled for evaluation of nova bone ability in ridge augmentation. methods the samples of this experimental stu...
