Following tooth extraction, socket grafts are commonly used to prevent incomplete healing and to optimize the bony site for implant placement (1). Many particulate, composite, and putty-like bone grafting materials either with or without a membrane have been used as socket grafts. This article introduces the layered socket grafting technique for socket grafting without the use of a membrane or ...

As a java programmer one might face networking using socket programming. A network-based system consists of a server, client, and a media for communication and for such communication we use “Sockets”. Sockets are interfaces that can "plug into" each other over a network. Once so "plugged in", the programs so connected communicate. A socket is one end-point of a two-way communication link betwee...

Introduction Proximal trim lines for trans-tibial prosthetic sockets have traditionally been trimmed according to the mode of suspension to the limb. The supracondylar suspension, which retains the prosthetic socket to the limb by gripping above the femoral condyles, has a more proximal trim line compared to the more distal trim line used for a suspension with a patellar-tendon-bearing strap or...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the effect of an intentionally created socket on bone remodeling with orthodontic tooth movement in rabbits. METHODS Eighteen male rabbits weighing 3.8 - 4.25 kg were used. An 8-mm deep and 2-mm wide socket was drilled in the bone 1 mm mesial to the right mandibular first premolar. The left first premolar was extracted to serve as an extraction socket. A...

It is very difficult to determine the time point of inserting implants for diabetic patients. And less we know about how diabetic sockets change with time. Based on the previous studies on non-diabetic socket healing, we analysed preand post-extraction cone beam computed tomography images of type 2 diabetes patients (n=93) and, age and sex matched non-diabetic controls (n=93) to investigate pos...

Following extraction of the teeth, the remaining socket heals from the apex toward the crest. When nothing is placed into the socket at the time of tooth removal, the infiltration of soft tissue at the crest often results in facial and crestal bone loss. Many literatures consider socket preservation as a necessity for further esthetic considerations in the pre-prosthetic and corrective procedur...
