Tissue engineering is a clinical approach toward the development of dynamic molecular delivery that can restore and improve regeneration. The 3D models and regenerative principles applied during implant guided dental surgery open new approaches for tissue constructs favoring sinus lift and implant placement. Purpose: The aim of the present clinical study was to determine evidence that synergy b...

the larvae causing myiasis can lead extensive tissue destruction, invasion into deep tissues and secondary infec­tions. poor hygiene, low socioeconomic condition and presence of open wounds are the most important predisposing factors. this case report describes destructive wound myiasis in a 58-year-old male patient diagnosed with maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma who lives in a rural are...

PURPOSE A novel technique for transcrestal guided sinus lift elevation (TGSL), is described underlining the step by step surgical protocol. MATERIALS AND METHODS TGSL modified osteotome technique was planned by the NobelProcera(®) Software Planning Programm (Nobel Guide, Nobel Biocare AB) and performed by stereolitographic template. The depth of the planned osteotomy was determined precisely ...

Surgical eyebrow lift has been described by using many different open and endoscopic methods. Difficult techniques and only short time benefits oft lead to patients' complaints. We present a safe and simple temporal Z-incision technique for eyebrow lift in 37 patients. Besides simplicity and safety, our technique shows long lasting aesthetic results with hidden scars and a high rate of patient ...

The effects of a soft tissue mobilization procedure, the Rolfing pelvic lift, on parasympathetic tone was studied in healthy adult men. Parasympathetic tone was assessed 1) by quantifying the amplitude of the respiratory sinus arrhythmia from the heart rate pattern and 2) by measuring heart rate. Heart rate patterns were assessed during the pelvic lift and during the durational touch and baseli...

PURPOSE A new approach for zygomatic implant placement was proposed to eliminate the risk of maxillary sinusitis related to the procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective study of this new approach was conducted, and consecutive patients treated between June 2007 and December 2008 were included. An extended sinus lift with retained bone window was performed, such that zygomatic implants w...

Pilonidal sinus can present as acute abscess or chronic discharging sinus. Many surgical treatment options are available for pilonidal sinus ranging from simple excision to various types of flaps procedures. The present study was planned to know the comparative outcome of two methods of treatment of pilonidal sinus disease; first the open group and second the partial closure group. We concluded...

PURPOSE To analyze radiographic and histological outcomes of maxillary sinus floor augmentation using a calcium-sulfate based allograft containing demineralized bone matrix particles. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen maxillary sinus lift procedures with simultaneous placement of titanium implants were performed in 12 patients of both genders aged 36-71 years. Each sinus cavity was filled by the ...
