Light-Activated Injectable Fat Grafts The artwork highlights an injectable fat graft for soft tissue reconstruction. In article number 2300538, Khoon S Lim and co-workers develop apply a light-activated macromolecular chemistry to facilitate crosslinking of patient-derived lipoaspirate, resulting in better control over the shape fidelity mechanics grafts. This grafts are easily administered sit...

The soft tissue architecture is an important part of an attractive smile. Autogenous connective grafts have been successful in treating gingival recession. Their availability, however, is limited by palatal anatomy. Acellular dermal matrices have been shown to be successful in the treatment of gingival recession and do not have availability problems. Traditional flap elevation can lead to shrin...

With its wide distribution in soft and hard connective tissues, collagen is the most abundant of animal proteins. In vitro, natural collagen can be formed into highly organized, three-dimensional scaffolds that are intrinsically biocompatible, biodegradable, nontoxic upon exogenous application, and endowed with high tensile strength. These attributes make collagen the material of choice for wou...

regarding to the important of pancreas in the body, this study was carried out on the histologic structure of pancreas of 6 pairs of iranian native turkeys of both sexes, age ranging from 26-30 weeks. routine histological techniques were used and stained by h&e; and masson’s trichrome, gomori’s method for reticulum, verhoeff’s, maldonado’s methods. the pancreas was covered with a thick dense co...

Introduction and objective: This paper aims to report a literature review on the anatomy and morphology of the interproximal papilla and present the options of both surgical and nonsurgical treatment for the recovery of interdental papilla. Literature review: The loss of the interdental papilla because of the interproximal bone loss accounts for aesthetic, phonetic and functional problems of pa...

Gingival recession is one of the most common soft tissue problems, especially when it hinders the esthetics of a patient. Gingival recession can further lead to root caries, sensitivity, and difficulty in plaque control. Moreover, exposed roots are prone to abrasion and erosion. Periodontal plastic surgery is one of the emerging fields, which helps to meet such soft tissue problems. Currently, ...
