This case report describes a modified connective tissue graft wall technique with enamel matrix derivative proposed to treat vertical bony defects. The surgical procedure consisted of coronally advanced flap porcine-derived acellular dermal placed below, acting as buccal soft the defect. patient showed defect between #12 and #13 horizontal bone loss deep infrabony component at mesial area canin...

The aim of this work is the microscopic study of the dynamics of the healing of the defect of compact bone tissue after the implantation into its cavity of osteoplastic material «easy-graft CRYSTAL». The experiment was conducted on 24 Wistar rats. In the middle third of the femoral shaft of rats there was reproduced perforated defect in the diameter of 2.5 mm to the medullary canal, which was f...

Use of medial gastrocnemius flap is part of the therapeutic array in soft tissue defect reconstruction for the upperthird part of the leg in adults. Indications for this type of flap remain quite rare in children. We will report our experience through two clinical cases and discuss the role of this type of flap in the treatment of soft tissue defect in children.

Ideal alveolar ridge width and height allows placement of a natural appearing pontic, which provides maintenance of a plaque-free environment. The contour of a partially edentulous ridge should be thoroughly evaluated before a fixed partial denture is undertaken. Localized alveolar ridge defect refers to a volumetric deficit of the limited extent of bone and soft-tissue within the alveolar proc...

A rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap can provide a large amount of tissue for defect coverage. Rarely a flabby and redundant abdominal tissue was used as a huge extended flap. We report a case of recurrence malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the thigh which was radically resected. The resultant massive defect was success reconstructed with an extended pedicle inferiorly based rectus abdominis my...

The fingertip skin defect is a common hand injury often accompanied by tendon or bone exposure, and is normally treated with flaps. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional sensory recovery of random-pattern abdominal skin flap in the repair of fingertip cutaneous deficiency. A total of 23 patients, aged between 18 and 50 years (mean age, 31 years) with fingertip cutaneous deficienc...
