Purpose: To determine the osteogenic capacity of a novel growth factor on rabbit bone marrow stromal cells. Background: Current reconstructive techniques for complex craniofacial osseous defects are associated with significant…
To apply human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) as a source of osteoblast-like cells (hESC-OS), factors influencing bone formation potential of hESC-OS need to be evaluated . Aims: The study aimed…
Introduction: This work studied the integration of acellular polyanionic collagen:elastin matrices derived of bovine pericardium (BP) with variable negative charge. Objective: The purpose of this work was to evaluate the…
Introduction: Fronto-orbital advancement is a procedure commonly performed in craniofacial centers for coronal and metopic suture synostosis. Several variations of the technique have been reported. We report our experience and…
Objective: To assess the correlation between alveolar cleft measurements carried out using conventional radiography and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Patients and methods: Eleven patients were included in this cross-sectional, descriptive…
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of BMP on the resorption and degradation of a calcium phosphate ceramic. Materials and methods: Four bone substitute discs…
Introduction: The autologous bone transplantation is a widely used technique for bone reconstructions. Donor site morbidity and availability limit autologous bone transplantation. Bone tissue engineering combining osteogenic stem cells with…
Purpose: To histologically evaluate, by comparative means, the use of resorbable screws based on poli( l -co- d , l lactide) 70:30, used for fixation of autogenous bone grafts in…
Objective: The goal of cleft lip repair is to restore normal function and form while achieving the best cosmetic appearance. The Fisher technique utilizes the anatomical subunits of the lip…
Craniosynostosis are complex malformations which include a wide range of phenotypes. Craniosynostosis can occur as isolated (scaphocephaly, plagiocephaly, etc.) or associated with polymalformative syndromes (Apert, Crouzon, etc.). In international literature…
