Background and purpose : Hyperdry amniotic membrane (AM), a novel preservable material derived from the human amnion, has been introduced clinically in ophthalmology and other fields. The aim of this…
Chylous leakage is not an uncommon complication after neck dissection. It occurs in 1-2.5% of neck dissection, with majority (75-92%) on the left side. There is currently no recognized surgical…
Introduction : The use of tp3 forms to form an air/blood and fluid tight barrier that can assist in reduction of serous-sanguineous, chylous and blood secretions after surgery. We have…
Background and objectives : Biocompatibility is a prerequisite for any substance to be used as an implant material, and potential biomaterials need to be characterized by histological evaluation of tissue…
Objectives : To evaluate, in a rabbit model, the capacity of different polymer–bioceramic composite materials to regenerate a critical sized calvarial defect. Methods : In this paper various synthetic polylactic…
Objectives : The aim of the present study was the histological evaluation of implant coatings with the gylcosaminoglycans chondroitin sulfate (CS) and hyaluronan (Hya) with regard to their influence on…
Background and objective : We have reported that HAp/agarose composite gel (HAp gel) is useful as a bone grafting material for bone defects. We previously investigated the biological behaviour of…
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) usage combined with graft and as a membrane on healing of bone defects….
Background and objectives : Mandibular reconstruction after tumour ablative surgery is essential for returning QOL of oral cancer survivours. But bone reconstruction surgery puts a severe strain on the patient….
Background and objectives : Osteoplastic materials are high demanded in maxillofacial surgery as an important tool for bone defects repair. Development of postgenomic, cellular and gene technologies is the basis…
