Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate surgical stability and cosmetic outcomes in patients with mandibular angle fractures (MAFs) using an angled screwdriver (ASD) versus transbuccal trocar (TBT) for single locking plate fixation. Methods: A prospective cohort clinical was done on 44 male (88%) 6 (12% females MAFs, categorized into 2 groups. Group were treated strictly intraoral vestibular i...

Background: In orthodontic treatment, mini-screws can provide maximum anchorage conditions. If the miniscrew stability is compromised, this could jeopardize outcomes of treatment or biomechanics. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMt) beneficial for biological tissues since it promotes wound healing with its anti-inflammatory and osteo-stimulatory properties. Objectives: The purpose study was to eva...

background: fracture load of implant-supported restorations is an important factor in clinical success. this study evaluated the effect of two techniques for screw access hole preparation on the fracture load of cement-screw retained implant-supported zirconia-based crowns. methods: thirty similar cement-screw retained implant-supported zirconia-based maxillary central incisor crowns were evalu...

PURPOSE To compare the short-term results of conventional versus mini-incision approaches to dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation. METHODS 41 geriatric patients with either basal femoral neck or intertrochanteric fractures (Kyle types I to III) who underwent closed reduction and DHS fixation by a single surgeon were retrospectively reviewed. From January 2001 to June 2005, 6 men and 19 women aged...
