OBJECTIVES To evaluate bone healing following implantation of a statin with two different carriers in rabbit nasal bone using histological and immunohistochemical methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty adult, male Japanese white rabbits (age: 12-16 weeks, weight: 2.5-3 kg) were used in this study. Five bone circular defects (5 mm in diameter) per rabbit were created in the nasal bone while pre...

A 66-year-old man presented with a large squamous cell carcinoma of the right nasal vestibule. He underwent partial rhinectomy and medial maxillectomy followed by staged reconstruction. Reconstruction of a full-thickness nasal defect requires repair of three distinct layers: the skin-soft tissue envelope, subsurface framework and intranasal lining. We report the first use in the UK of an osteoc...

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is the standard procedure for treatment of acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO), which can be performed with an external or endonasal approach. Numerous variations DCR have been described in literature that report varying rates success. The aim this study to describe approach and success rate DCR, nasal mucosa, bone lacrimal mucosa are sequentially removed.

Introduction Middle nasal turbinate (concha) is one of three or four lateralto-medial extroflexions of the lateral nasal wall: they are the inferior turbinate, whose bony skeleton is an independent bone, and middle, superior and sometime supreme turbinates, whose bony structures are part of the ethmoid bone. Embryogenesis of the last three turbinates is a process induced by active intramural pn...

Abstract The transplantation of tissue-engineered scaffolds with stem cells is a promising therapeutic approach for bone defect repair. To improve the efficacy this approach, in study, novel biofunctional live bone-like graft was designed and constructed using fibrin scaffold loaded TG2 gene-modified ectomesenchymal (TG2-EMSCs) derived from nasal respiratory mucosa Autocalcification cell-free g...

Rhinolith, calcified concretion of a nidus within the nasal cavity, is a possible diagnosis for certain patients with densely mineralized lesions that appear benign and without bone destruction.

IN nasal surgery, cartilage or bone transplants are required for support or correction of cosmetic deformities. When autogenous material is readily available, it should be used in preference to homogenous or heterogenous material. Sometimes this means, however, an iliac bone or rib cartilage graft. These procedures have a certain morbidity and the grafts are not always readily accepted by the p...

INTRODUCTION The maxillary incisive canal connects the roof of the oral cavity with the floor of nasal cavity and has the incisive and nasal foramina respectively at its two opposite ends. Its close proximity with the anterior incisors affects one's ability to place immediate implants in ideal position. OBJECTIVE To avoid causing complication, variations in their dimensions were studied. MA...
