Background and objectives: BMP-2 is similar to BMP-4 in the structure and both of them belong to the TGF-β superfamily. The expensiveness of BMP-2 motivated us to search the substitute….
The aim of the present study was to analyze the effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMC) on the bone regeneration process. Sixty Wistar rats were…
Background and objectives: Recently tissue engineering has become available as a regenerative treatment for bone defects. Mesenchymal derived stem cells (MSCs) were applied with different kinds of bone substitute in…
Background and objectives: Bone regeneration and aesthetic outcomes may be compromised when immediate implants are placed at extraction sites with dehiscence defects. The PCL–TCP scaffold is a recent innovation in…
Background and objectives: Determine the effect of biocoating with protein (A) on discs and biocoating stability on the implant after insertion in animal bone. Methods: Four MIS-implants (3.75 mm ×…
Background and objectives: One of the most difficult regions of the face to reconstruct after avulsion is the oral region, specifically the lips, due to the complex natural architecture of…
Background and objectives: The interaction of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) and endothelial cells (EC) hold a promising perspective for the revascularization of osteoconductive bone grafts in defect regeneration. Co-culture methods…
Internal derangement (ID) is the clinical and pathological condition of disc displacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Treatment of symptomatic cases traditionally involved disc repositioning procedures or discectomy. However, the…
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a common cause of chronic facial pain which is often successfully managed non-operatively. When this management is unsuccessfull arthroscopy may be considered as a therapeutic and…
Background: We in our paper are presenting four classical cases posing complex symptoms of TMJ problems that were treated successfully in the dental office, by following the nidus. Objectives: These…
