Introduction: Alveolar bone is the most affected of periodontal diseases. Bone grafts such as autograft, allograft, xenograft and, alloplastic often are used, but they have limitations. So, graft still a major problem that continues to inspire design new materials. The purpose this article review clinical and biologic function, advantages, disadvantages dentin an autograft allograft in therapy....

Knee ligament reconstruction can be performed with autograft or allograft. The use of an has been shown to improve outcomes in primary anterior cruciate for young, active patients, and also revision surgery. A systematic review posterior showed no difference between allograft tissue. There is a paucity data comparing versus fibular collateral posterolateral corner reconstructions, alone combine...

Background: Gingival recession is a condition where the root surface of tooth exposed due to migration gingival margin and junctional epithelium in an apical direction. The problem that patients often complain about aesthetic problem, especially if occurs upper anterior teeth. In addition, can also cause dentine hypersensitivity exposure was previously covered by gingiva. One treatment options ...

We describe the case of a two-year-old boy with massive burns. After the period of shock and sepsis, very successful four-phase operative treatment was performed, with combined skin grafting homograft plus autograft. With regard to the four surgical interventions, in the first two we used the above combined method, while in the other two we used grafting only with skin autograft. We also used t...

The free soft tissue autograft when used for increasing the amount of attached gingiva is a relatively simple surgical procedure. The use of the free soft tissue autograft for root coverage, however, is a much more technically demanding procedure requiring the periodontist to consider additional factors. Overlooking or failing to properly address a single one of these factors can result in inco...

BACKGROUND The number of surgical techniques for decompression and solid interbody fusion as treatment for cervical spondylosis has increased rapidly, but the rationale for the choice between different techniques remains unclear. OBJECTIVES To determine which technique of anterior interbody fusion gives the best clinical and radiological outcomes in patients with single- or double-level degen...

1 also called the pulmonary autograft procedure, involves replacement of the diseased aortic valve with the patient’s own pulmonary valve (autograft) and implantation of a biological valve (homograft) in the pulmonary position. It was first described and pioneered by Mr. Donald Ross in 1967 in London. The procedure was popularised in the 1980s when homografts became widely available on both sid...

OBJECTIVE To report the result of a severe articular defect secondary to a complex open fracture of the distal humerus, using the ipsilateral radial head as a bone autograft for the trochclear region as an alternative to total arthroplasty. CASE REPORT We describe a patient who suffered an open fracture of the elbow with bone loss in the distal humeral region and, after the initial stabilisat...

A structural bone graft is often required when performing procedures associated with flexible planovalgus deformity correction. These procedures are commonly done in conjunction with a medializing calcaneal osteotomy. Associated procedures include lengthening calcaneal osteotomy through the anterior calcaneus, distraction calcaneocuboid arthrodesis, and plantarflexion osteotomies of the medial ...

A 19-year-old woman with a bicuspid aortic valve was admitted because of active infective endocarditis with a root abscess. Four weeks of antibiotic therapy achieved negative blood cultures and normalized inflammatory signs; however, echocardiography revealed severe aortic regurgitation through an abscess cavity located at the root. The modified Ross procedure, in which the pulmonary autograft ...
