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,…
