Objective(s)Tissue engineering is an attractive science because it promises new therapeutic strategies for repairing organs that have lost functions due to damage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate induction effect of human gingival scaffold in tissue engineering for skin regeneration.Materials and MethodsTissue samples were obtained from crown-lengthening procedures and wisdom teeth re...

OBJECTIVE Intraoperative tissue deformation that occurs during the course of neurosurgical procedures may compromise patient-to-image registration, which is essential for image guidance. A new approach to account for brain shift, using computational methods driven by sparsely available operating room (OR) data, has been augmented with techniques for modeling tissue retraction and resection. M...

The purpose of this study was to clinically evaluate the effect of citric acid on re-attachment and re-adaptation in conjunction with periodontal surgery. A split-mouth design was used in 10 patients involving 30 quadrants of surgery. A total of 120 teeth were treated. Each quadrant consisted of at least 2 teeth from cuspid to second molar. One quadrant was treated with a modified Widman flap a...

Gingival recession can result in an unesthetic appearance, hypersensitivity, and root caries. The physiological well-being of the patient is a significant factor associated with success dental therapy.Numerous techniques are advocated for coverage. Although, connective tissue graft serves as gold standard, it requires second surgical site -a major disadvantage. When aesthetic demand high vestib...

I want to thank the editor for asking me to address the topic of the surgical management of postblepharoplasty lower eyelid retraction (PBLER). Thanks to the authors for sharing their work with Aesthetic Surgery Journal.1 Lower eyelid retraction following lower blepharoplasty has long been an important topic of interest to aesthetic surgeons, both in terms of its prevention and its treatment. G...

purpose: to report a case of duane's retraction syndrome with dry eye. patient and findings: an 18-year-old girl presented with chief complaint of limited abduction in her right eye. best corrected visual acuity was od: 8/10 and os: 9/10. ocular motility examination revealed severe abduction limitation (-4), mild adduction limitation (-1), and moderate upshoot and mild downshoot in the rig...
