The corticosteroids; antienflamatuar, immunosuppressive and antineoplastic activities, are used widely in the treatment of nonhormonal diseases and also have side effects. TMJ has similar features with other diarthrodial joints. Pathologic…
Aim/Objective/Purpose: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is extensively used in oral and maxillofacial surgery to stimulate and accelerate bone healing. However, contradictory results were reported. In order to clarify this inconsistency, this…
Central Giant Cell Lesion is an uncommon benign jaw lesion, with uncertain etiology, and a variable clinical behavior. Studies of molecular markers of CGCL, may help understanding better the nature…
Objective: Animal models offer an unprecedented opportunity to preclinically evaluate the efficacy and safety of newly developed human surgical therapies. In order to develop maxillofacial surgical research including tissue engineering…
Introduction: Stem cells based therapies are the most promising and powerful method to provide patients specific tissue substitutes for the regeneration or reconstruction of tissue and organs. Aim: Using bone…
Introduction: Titanium surface modifications can influence the osseointegration process, the final goal being accelerate bone formation around implants. Purpose: This study aimed at evaluating the effect of Ti surface modification…
Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of genes involved in bone remodeling process finding in dental pulp, and in particular the expression of, COL1A1, MMP9…
Introduction: In clinical practice different bone substitute biomaterials are used for maxillary sinus floor augmentation. Due to biocompatibility with living body and bioactivity hydroxyapatite (HAP), tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and biphasic…
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the osteorigenerative properties of AFSc associated with hydroxyapatite, and compare their behaviour with the use of biomaterial in sinus grafts on…
Introduction: Nowadays different manufacturers of bone graft materials are known. Hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate (HAP/TCP) biphasic bone graft materials are the most promoting due to particular biodegradation. Literature data of…
