Background: A prerequisite for successful embryo implantation is adequate preparation of receptive endometrium and the establishment and maintenance of a viable embryo. The success of implantation further relies upon a two-way dialogue between the embryo and uterus. However, molecular bases of these preimplantation and implantation processes in humans are not well known. Materials and Methods: ...

OBJECTIVE To present a case of chronic elbow pain as a result of a hidden underlying osteochondral defect. CLINICAL FEATURES A 17-year old baseball player presented with chronic lateral elbow pain. Examination revealed swelling of the elbow with signs of possible ligament, muscle, and tendon injury. DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT Although there was apparent soft-tissue injury, the elbow swelling c...

Between 1990 and 1995, 214 implants were placed in 29 maxillae and mandibles of 22 patients following extraction of all residual teeth as a consequence of severe periodontal disease. All patients were discharged wearing immediate dentures. The implants were analyzed with regard to the number per arch, location, length, and diameter. The 5-year cumulative survival rate was 98.5%. The mean number...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We evaluated the technical and clinical results of implantation of the Atlas stent, the hospital stay, and the short and long-term clinical and angiographic outcome. PATIENTS AND METHOD The study included 169 patients (60.1 10.8 year-old), 60.3% of which had acute coronary syndromes and complex lesions. Immediate success was achieved in 98% of cases. The clinical fol...

PURPOSE The aim of this paper is to describe a protocol for a one-stage technique called Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration (IDR), which uses autogenous bone grafts to restore peri-implant bone defects, presenting the results of mid-term follow-up. SUMMARY The patient presented a left central incisor that was compromised and with a total loss of buccal bone wall. The proposed treatment follo...

 Aim and Objective Comparative evaluation in palcement implant: A clinico-radiographical study.
 Methods coparative study was conducted total 20 implant sites patients within the age group 20-60 years comprising both male female visiting Out-patient Department Periodontology Implant...

Early implant placement is one treatment option for implant therapy following a single-tooth extraction in the anterior maxilla. In this article some key factors are presented to analyze and follow in an effort to obtain a predictable and acceptable esthetic result. The creation of predictable peri-implant esthetics requires proper preservation of the osseous and soft tissues around the failing...
