Tooth aspiration in adults during endotracheal intubation is very rare. There are several risk factors for this rare event such as old age, loose teeth, difficult intubation etc. which predispose patients for tooth aspiration in tracheobronchial tree in emergent endotracheal intubation. Although extraction of aspirated tooth with flexible bronchoscopy is a difficult and complex intervention, it...

PURPOSE To evaluate bone healing in the extraction socket of the feline mandibular canine tooth after grafting. METHODS Eighteen adult cats were submitted to unilateral extraction of mandibular canine tooth and divided into three groups. In group 1 (n=6), control, the extraction socket was left empty. In group 2 (n=6), the extraction socket was filled with autogenous cancellous bone from the ...

The hypothesis of the present study was that immediate loading of implant-supported restorations replacing single missing teeth could be a successful procedure. The present study compared the clinical success of immediately loaded single-tooth implants placed in fresh extraction sites to that of immediately loaded single-tooth implants placed in healed sites. From the years 1997 to 1998, 26 pat...

Accelerating wound healing after tooth extraction is beneficial in dental treatment. Application of antioxidants, such as reduced coenzyme Q10 (rCoQ10), may promote wound healing after tooth extraction. In this study, we examined the effects of topical application of rCoQ10 on wound healing after tooth extraction in rats. After maxillary first molars were extracted, male Fischer 344 rats (8 wee...
