Background: Tooth extraction is a common dentistry procedure followed by alveolar bone resorption. Trauma that occurs in tooth will induce exaggerating inflammatory process, leads to increased Bone resorption can be minimized administering combination of Nigella sativa extract and bovine graft. The material expected increase the woven area formation speed up remodeling process. Purpose: To dete...

background in recent years, there is an increasing tendency to use diced cartilage grafts in rhinoplasty surgery for improving dorsum contour irregularities. this study was designed to compare graft resorption between three techniques of diced cartilage using surgical blade, electrical grinder and grater in rabbit model. methods thirteen new zealand rabbits were divided into three groups. three...

OBJECTIVES To determine whether soft tissue augmentation prior to block grafting will minimize post-block grafting soft tissue complications. METHODS This longitudinal controlled pilot study was conducted at the Faculty of Dentistry, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from October 2010 to January 2013. Fourteen sites requiring block grafting were divided into 2 groups:...

OBJECTIVE To compare various graft materials in the rabbit model, including autologous cartilage, dermal tissue, fat, and AlloDerm (a cadaver-derived material). METHODS Twenty-five New Zealand white rabbits were used. Equally sized autogenous (fat, fascia, cartilage, and dermal) grafts and AlloDerm were implanted into subcutaneous dorsal pockets on the rabbits. Animals were killed 1, 2, 3, an...

BACKGROUND Dermal fat grafts are used to reconstruct facial contour defects but may undergo variable resorption. Application of autologous platelet adhesive may improve outcomes. The primary objective was to compare resorption of dermal fat grafts for parotidectomy defects, between patients receiving autologous platelet adhesive versus controls. METHODS This was a double-blinded prospective c...

We present the case of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who underwent talonavicular joint fusion using an autologous calcaneal bone graft. At same time, bony defect at harvest site was supplemented ReBOSSIS-J® [70% β-TCP and 30% poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide)](ORTHOREBIRTH Co. Ltd., Kanagawa, Japan), synthetic bioresorbable void filler for repair defects handling characteristics similar to cot...

PURPOSE This retrospective study compares the amount of bone resorption around implants between an autogenous tooth bone graft (AutoBT) and a synthetic bone graft after a bone-added crestally approached sinus lift with simultaneous implant placements. METHODS In all, 37 patients participated in this study. Seventeen patients were grouped as group I and underwent an AutoBT-added sinus lift usi...

Background: Cranioplasty (CP) is a neurosurgical procedure performed after decompressive craniectomy using autologous bone graft or various artificial materials. Aim: To find differences in complications between patients who underwent CP an flap versus titanium mesh as well to identify significant risk factors for post-CP Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional study. Methodology: A total of ...

Alveolar ridge resorption is a natural consequence of teeth extraction, with unpleasant aesthetic and functional consequences that might compromise future oral rehabilitation. To minimize the biological alveolar resorption, several surgical procedures have been designed, so-called preservation (ARP) techniques. One important characteristic concomitant use biomaterial in ARP. In past decade, aut...
