the application of laser in dentistry is considered as a favorable technique for patients due to its many advantages compare to other current methods. one of the main goals in pediatric dentistry is to provide the treatment as comfortable as possible without any risks for the care. laser is being used in different pediatric dental conditions including caries detection, caries removal and cavity...

background:   although the majority of soft tissue masses are benign, it is important to consider malignancy in differential diagnoses. because most soft tissue sarcomas present as a painless mass, clinicians must watch for signs suggestive of malignancy, including large size, rapid growth, and site deep into the deep fascia.the purpose of this study was to determine the relative prevalence acc...

lipoma is the most common soft tissue tumor but the presence of osseous component within the tumor is quite rare. some studies show that less than 1% of lipomas were ossified. we describe the histological, radiological and diagnostic features of an ossified intramuscular lipoma. to the best of the authors' knowledge, a symptomatic ossified intramuscular lipoma without any cortical erosion and h...

introduction: the phenomenon of neglected foreign bodies is a significant cause of morbidity in soft tissue injuries and may present to dermatologists as delayed wound healing, localized cellulitis and inflammation, abscess formation, or foreign body sensation. localization and removal of neglected soft tissue foreign bodies (stfbs) is complex due to possible inflammation, indurations, granulat...

introduction: diode laser with wavelengths ranging from 810 to 980 nm in a continuous or pulsed mode was used as a possible instrument for soft tissue surgery in the oral cavity. discussion: diode laser is one of laser systems in which photons are produced by electric current with wavelengths of 810, 940 and 980nm. the application of diode laser in soft tissue oral surgery has been evaluated fr...

this paper presents four cases of abnormal soft tissue activity in the bone scan of patients with different lesions (lung inflammatory pseudotumor, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma and metastatic hepatic carcinoma of colon).

injection of synthetic fillers for soft tissue augmentation is increasing over the last decade. one of the most common materials used is hyaluronic acid (ha) that is safe and temporary filler for soft tissue augmentation. we present a case of 54-year-old female who experienced vascular occlusion and nasal alar necrosis following ha injection to the nasolabial folds. she suffered from pain, necr...

introduction: lasers have made tremendous progress in the field of dentistry and have turned out to be crucial in oral surgery as collateral approach for soft tissue surgery. this rapid progress can be attributed to the fact that lasers allow efficient execution of soft tissue procedures with excellent hemostasis and field visibility. when matched to scalpel, electrocautery or high frequency de...

background and objective: different mechanisms may lead to the development of soft tissue tumor-like lesions in the oral cavity. many of these lesions can be identified as specific entities on the basis of their histopathological features and are divided into fibrous, vascular, and giant cell types. the purpose of this study was to establish the relative prevalence of the different histopatholo...

conclusions lower extremity movement extent was carefully evaluated and, in respect to muscle strength, the patient was able to walk independently three months after the surgery. the patient’s balance was studied and the results showed moderate levels of stability. case presentation this is a case report concerning a patient who had septic arthritis in the knee area and so underwent soft tissue...
