Objectives: The efficacy of rhBMP2 with bone grafts (rhBMP2-BG) in promoting adequate bone formation within critical size defects is documented. However, the efficacy in treating jaw resection (including segmental) has…
Purpose: To analyze effect of an alternating distraction–compression protocol over conventional distraction osteogenesis (DO) protocol on new bone formation. Materials and methods: Eighteen rabbits underwent bilateral mandibular corticostomy, custom-made distractor…
Aseptic osteolysis is a main cause of loosening of orthopaedic implant failures. The wear debris derived from polymers (UHWMPE) and/or metals of implants (Ti) elicit primary inflammatory and secondary osteolytic…
Microvascular anastomosis is a critical step in the survival of free transferred tissue. It depends on a technically sound anastomosis between donor and recipient site blood vessels. This is typically…
Objective: To reconstruct Mandibular defect using tissue engineering bone with BMSCs cell sheets and investigate the effect of cell sheets on osteogenesis. Methods: Bone marrow stem cells were isolated and…
Purpose: To investigate the effect of BMSCs cell sheet on the formation of functional tissue-engineered bone in dogs. Method: BMSCs were derived from dog bone marrow and cell sheets were…
Craniosynostosis is a disease characterized by the early closure of one or more cranial sutures associated to a perpendicular deformity to the suture from overgrowth. It can be found isolated…
Introduction: The skeletal craniofacial morphology is the functional reflection of nearby structures and functional conditions to which it is subjected. Obstruction of the upper airway is common in children and…
Adequate surgical correction requires an individually staged strategy with respect to severity of the deformity, age and development of the patient. Frontofacial distraction techniques have been recommended for that purpose….
Introduction: The cranial base is a “constructional template” for facial development, normal or abnormal. Craniofacial synostosis involves abnormalities of the sutures of the cranium, the face, and the growth centers…
