Abstract Introduction The correction of facial asymmetry in patients presenting with Goldenhar Syndrome can be challenging due to the complexity orthodontic and surgical procedures required, psychosocial considerations patient risk relapse. Materials methods A Caucasian male originally presented at age 8.2 years concerns relating a poor bite. He had previously undertaken surgery for removal pre...

Objetive: To determine the expression of Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF)-2 and Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)-2 after application scaffold hydroxyapatite from Rajungan crab shell (Portunus pelagicus) in tooth extraction socket Cavia cobaya. Material Methods: This study used a post-test only control group design with 28 cobaya separated into two groups, treatment group. The left mandibular inci...

This case report documents the first use of particulate autogenous bone graft with the corticotomy-assisted rapid orthodontic procedure known as periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO). A 41-year-old man, with class II, division 2 crowded occlusion, was treated with the PAOO procedure. Buccal mucoperiosteal flaps were reflected, and selected vertical and horizontal corticotomy ...

This study aimed to investigate whether local delivery of alendronate could improve bone formation and decrease bone resorption after hydroxyapatite grafting in ovariectomised rat mandibular defects. Thirty-six female Wistar rats were divided into control and experimental groups. Both groups were ovariectomised. After two months a surgical defect was created on the vestibular side of their mand...

Reconstruction of large segmental mandibular defects presents a challenge for oral and maxillofacial surgeons, particularly in the skeletally immature pediatric patient. Autogenous bone graft is historically preferred; however, harvest autograft requires second surgical site, risking donor-site complications as well potential long-term growing child. Here, we present first known report patient ...

The purpose of this study was to histometrically evaluate an absorbable collagen membrane (Bio-Gide) and a nonabsorbable polytetrafluoroethylene membrane (PTFE), associated with or without bone grafts, regarding "re-osseointegration" after treating ligature-induced peri-implantitis defects in dogs. All mandibular premolars were removed from five 2-year-old mongrel dogs. After 3 months of healin...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical use of amnion as a biodegradable graft material for lower anterior ridge vestibuloplasty. STUDY DESIGN Ten patients who had been referred for preprosthetic surgery underwent mandibular anterior ridge vestibuloplasty using Clark's technique and amniotic membrane as a graft material. Preoperative vestibular depth was measured. Fresh am...
