in this paper, the focus is on a new kind of biodegradable semi-interpenetrating polymer networks, which derived from ɛ-caprolactone, lactide, 1,4-butane diisocyanate and ethylenediamine and also its potential has been investigated in soft tissue engineering applications. the polymers were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectrometry, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (f...

tissue-engineered gingival graft was used for regenerating facial gingiva around an implant at lower left first premolar area with insufficient attached gingiva. engineered gingival graft was produced by mixing 250 ml bovine skin collagen with 250 ml nutritional medium containing human gingival fibroblasts (2×105). 3 months post-surgery, there were gains in the attached gingiva compared to pre-...

human adipose tissue represents an abundant, practical and appealing source of donor tissue for autologous cell replacement. recent findings have shown that stem cells within the stromalvascular fraction of adipose tissue display a multilineage developmental potential. adipose tissue-derived stem cells can be differentiated towards adipogenic, osteogenic, chondrogenic,myogenic and neurogenic li...

BACKGROUND: Dental disease, trauma and maxillofacial surgeries can cause alveolar bone defects. Among different kinds of treatment, autogenous bone grafts is accepted as a golden standard. On the other hand, because of limitation of treatment with autogenous bone grafts, osteogenic cells derived from stem cells are suggested. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the mean density of ...

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...
