Long-term follow-up of autogenous canine transplants with application of guided bone regeneration
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the aesthetics and outcome of autotransplantation of impacted canines unsuitable for orthodontic realignment using a combination of surgery with guided bone…
S-nitroso albumin enhances bone formation in a rabbit calvaria model
Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is a mediator involved in bone regeneration. We therefore examined the effect of the novel NO donor, S-nitroso human serum albumin (S-NO-HSA) on bone formation in…
In vitro resistance of titanium and resorbable (poly l-co- dllactic acid) osteosynthesis in mandibular body fracture
Abstract This study was a comparative evaluation of the bending resistance of metallic and resorbable plates and screws in a mandibular body fracture model. Forty polyurethane synthetic hemimandibles were used;…
Zoledronic acid impairs re-epithelialization through down-regulation of integrin αvβ6 and transforming growth factor beta signalling in a three-dimensional in vitro wound healing model
Abstract This study examined the negative effects of zoledronic acid on the re-epithelialization of oral mucosa in a three-dimensional in vitro oral mucosa wound healing model. A living oral mucosa…
The osteogenic activity of human mandibular fracture haematoma-derived cells is stimulated by low-intensity pulsed ultrasound in vitro
Abstract Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) stimulation is a clinically established treatment method used to accelerate long bone fracture healing; however, this method is currently not applied to mandibular fractures….
Tomographic follow-up of bone regeneration after bone block harvesting from the mandibular ramus
Abstract Autogenous bone is still considered the gold standard, and the applicability of autogenous bone grafts is well established. However, the possibility of second harvesting from the same donor region…
Analgesic efficacy of lysine clonixinate plus tramadol versus tramadol in multiple doses following impacted third molar surgery
Abstract This study compared the analgesic and anti-inflammatory efficacy, trismus control, and tolerability of the combination of lysine clonixinate and tramadol (LCT) versus tramadol (T) alone after surgical removal of…
