Introduction: Considering the positive effects of a low-level laser on new bone formation, we aimed to investigate in treatment patients with class II mandibular deficiency treated Farmand functional appliance. Methods: Twenty-two growing aged 10-14 years were randomly divided into "Farmand" and "Farmand+Laser" groups. All Patients "Farmand+laser" group exposed irradiation (980 nm, 100 mw, 4 po...

WWOX is a tumour suppressor gene altered in various human neoplasms. Deletion of WWOX is associated with bone metabolic defects and development of osteosarcoma in mice. We hypothesized that alterations of this gene are associated with the development of benign and malignant mesenchymal bone related lesions of the jaws. We investigated WWOX mRNA by nested reverse transcription-PCR and direct seq...

OBJECTIVE To present a new simulator designed at the Minimally Invasive Surgery Centre (Cáceres) which offers an integral, effective and viable training system that can be used for learning microsurgical techniques. STUDY DESIGN A square methacrylate block was used. Animal jaws were fixed to the sides by means of butterfly screws. This block also has a drainage tube to facilitate the escape o...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate two commonly used advanced bipolar devices (ENSEAL(®) G2 Tissue Sealers and LigaSure™ Blunt Tip) for compression uniformity, vessel sealing strength, and consistency in bench-top analyses. METHODS Compression analysis was performed with a foam pad/sensor apparatus inserted between closed jaws of the instruments. Average pressures (psi) were rec...

High-performance Web servers are essential to meet the growing demands of the Internet and large-scale intranets. Satisfying these demands requires a thorough understanding of key factors affecting Web server performance. This paper presents empirical analysis illustrating how dynamic and static adaptivity can enhance Web server performance. Two research contributions support this conclusion. F...

Improvement of methods treatment odontogenic cysts the jaws continues to be an urgent problem in surgical dentistry and maxillofacial surgery. Currently, most promising is use multicomponent osteoplastic materials order optimize reparative osteogenesis after cystectomy for extensive jaw cysts. The aim study improve method large upper with osteoplasty bone defect biocomposite combination directe...

One of the major disadvantages of the minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is the lack of tactile feedback to the surgeon. In order to identify and avoid any damage to the grasped complex tissue by endoscopic graspers, it is important to measure the local softness of tissue during MIS. One way to display the measured softness to the surgeon is a graphical method. In this paper, a new tactile sensor...

The surface area of edentulous jaw is an important functional and anthropometric parameter. It can be analyzed directly in mouth, on jaw impressions, as well as on casts. The analysis of master cast provides valuable information about the surface area in edentulous jaws. However, preliminary-study cast made of “soft” alabaster dental plaster is usually utilized for this purpose [1-5]. The surfa...
