A primary pillar of facial rejuvenation is the replacement of soft tissue atrophy via a variety of augmentation techniques. The techniques can be classified into three categories, skeletal onlay grafts, subcutaneous volumizers, and dermal fillers. While onlay grafts and subcutaneous volumizers have the most persistent results, the emergence of improved dermal fillers in the past 5 years has bec...

PURPOSE We review the applications and outcomes of penile circular fasciocutaneous flap urethroplasty in 66 patients at our institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used a circular distal penile skin flap for urethral reconstruction in 66 men with complex urethral strictures. Average stricture length in this series was 9.08 cm. and mean followup was 41 months (range 1 to 7 years). RESULTS The ...

PURPOSE A zygomatic implant can be an effective device for rehabilitation of the severely resorbed maxilla. If zygomatic implants are used, onlay bone grafting or sinus augmentation would likely not be necessary. Where an anterior onlay bone graft is required, extension of the graft in the posterior region could be reduced. The results of the application of zygomatic implants in 9 patients and ...

Little information is available on the stress analysis of cast metallic inlays and onlays. Modern design and valuation in order to obtain an adequate framework strength involves numerical simulations. The aim of the paper was to evaluate, the effect of MOD cavity design for cast metal inlays and onlays on stress distribution in teeth structures and restorations. The study was performed on an up...
