Background and objective: An ex vivo -produced oral mucosa equivalent (EVPOME) is composed of a stratified layer of human oral keratinocytes seeded onto a human acellular dermis, AlloDerm ® ….
Objectives: This study aims to verify whether red and infrared lasers can interfere with the healing process of wounds located at the point of application and at distance. Materials and…
Background and objectives: Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) has a complex management and treatment, characterized by bone cell and marrow death in a particular area. This pathology can affect any…
Tooth development (odontogenesis) is a very complicated and complex process involving interplay between oral epithelium and adjacent ectomesenchyme. These reciprocal interactions are mediated by more than 300 signaling molecules (e.g….
Background and objectives: The aim of the study was to examine feasibility of craniomaxillofacial bone tissue reconstruction with the help of custom-made CAD/CAM-based stem-cell-seeded composite scaffolds. Methods: Tricalcium phosphate (TCP)…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) on the regeneration of distraction osteogenesis on irradiated mandible of adult rabbit. Ten adult rabbits…
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…
Backgrounds: Intra-articular adhesions (IA) are an important pathological sign in patients with temporomandibular dysfunction syndrome (TMDS). Objectives: To describe the incidence and distribution of IA in our patient sample and…
Introduction: Procedures used in arthroscopic disc reposition, like suturing technique, are technically complex and they have questionable results. Clinical and MR imaging (pre and postoperative) findings in resorbable pins technique…
Purpose: ArthroCare Multi-electrode System™ with Coblation technology ibipolar j and Vulcan Electro Thermal Arthroscopy System™ (monopolar) have been used in the fields of neurosurgery and orthopaedic surgery. Coblation, derived from…
Background and objectives: TMJ disorders include noninflammatory osteoarthropathies (internal derangement), primary arthritides (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis). Early recognition of primary arthritis is important in controlling the disease. However, in early disease,…
