Perfect facial and body symmetry is an important aesthetic concept which is very difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. Yet, facial asymmetries are commonly encountered by plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Here, we present a case of posttraumatic facial asymmetry successfully treated with a unique concept of facial flap repositioning. A 25-year-old male patient visited our department with...

Root denudation following gingival recessions promotes carious or non-carious cervical lesions with hypersensitivity and esthetic discomfort. To satisfy the immediate demand of the patients, general practitioners used to perform restorative procedures including cervical fillings or bonding techniques (resin-modified restorative glass ionomer, microfin resin composite) to cover the lesion. This ...

As the quality of rehabilitation has improved (e.g., through the increased use of wheelchairs), ischial sores have become one of the top 3 most common types of sores in terms of location, with an annually increasing number of patients [1]. Even after musculocutaneous or perforator flaps are performed to treat pressure sores, complications such as ulcer recurrence and wound dehiscence still rema...

Abstract Background The smooth and straight nasal dorsum is a goal after hump reduction as dorsal irregularities are unexpectable inevitable complications. aim of this study to evaluate modified perichondrial-periosteal flaps functionally aesthetically camouflage irregularities. A total 115 patients with humps were enrolled in the study. perichondrium over upper lateral cartilages divided midli...

Background: Gingival recession is characterized by the gingival margin move apically to mucogingival junction and cause root surface exposure. It causes a high incidence of caries, hypersensitivity interferes with appearance patient. A variety materials periodontal plastic surgery procedures are available correct problems cover surface. Some treatment modifications have been developed obtain op...

Aims: To establish a keratoprosthesis (Kpro) surgical technique that maintains an intact superficial corneal layer. Methods: A manual microkeratome (Moria LSK-1) was used to create a 130 mm flap of approximately 10 mm diameter in the right eye of Japanese white rabbits. The stoma beneath the flap area was dissected before the removal of a 5.0 mm stromal disc. A 5.0 mm collagen I immobilised pol...

statement of problem: treatment of gingival recession defect and covering denuded root surfaces is one of the goals in periodontal therapy and several surgical techniques have been suggested in this field.purpose: the aim of this study was to perform a comparison on coronaliy repositioned flap procedure with and without the use of ethylenediaminoteraacetic acid (edta. 24%, ph=7) in the treatmen...
