Stafne bone defect is a bone depression containing salivary gland or fatty soft tissue on the lingual surface of the mandible. The most common location is within the submandibular gland fossa and often close to the inferior border of the mandible. This defect is asymptomatic and generally discovered only incidentally during radiographic examination of the area. Stafne bone defect appears as a w...

background: bone tissue engineering requires materials that are biocompatible, mechanically suited for bone function, integrated with the host skeleton, and support osteoinduction of the implanted cells for new bone formation. the aim of this study was to compare the osteogenic potential of xenograft with hydroxyapatite/β- tricalcium phosphate (ha/β-tcp) scaffold. methods: new zealand rabbits (...

Objective- Current trends emphasize the acceleration of fracture healing on the ground that in doing so, the limitation of mobility and complications associated with recovery period are reduced. The present study aims to compare autogenic costal cartilage with Chitosan scaffold in canine humeral defect healing. Design- Experimental study Animal-15 adult male dogs Procedures-...

Objective- To evaluate the role of greater omentum incorporation of coral in healing of the long bone defect in dog model. Design- Experimental in-vivo study. Animals- Sixteen adult mongrel male dogs weighing 26.2±2.5 kg, free of evident infectious or parasitic illnesses were used in this study. Procedures- The operative procedure was undertaken under general anesthesia. Radial bone was expo...

We report 127 cases who have had elective operation on cranium because of skull bone defect during 1984-1989. Usually repair of skull bone defect and preserving normal anatomy were the major therapeutic goals. 10, II In these cases a new surgical technique is described which can successfully accomplish these goals in a single but staged operative procedure.

the purpose of the present randomized clinical trial study was to compare the effectiveness of bovine porous bone mineral (bpbm) with and without plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) in the treatment of mandibular class ii furcation defects.in seven patients, nine pairs of symmetric buccal or lingual mandibular class ii furcation defects were treated. in each patient, one defect received bpbm (...

Background: In several conditions we have face cranial bone defects. Reconstruction of these defects remains one of the most challenging problems encountered by craniofacial surgeons. Objective: To evaluate bone repair in cranial bone defects by use of an implant made of octacalcium phosphate in combination with bone matrix gelatin (OCP/BMG). Methods: We used 40, 5–6-week-old male Sprague-Dawle...

Objective- To evaluate tail vertebra as an autogenous cortical bone and cancellous bone for filling ulnarsegmental bone defect in dogs.Design- Experimental study.Animals- Eight adult mongrel dogs with an aver age age of 37.S months and average body wei ght of17.62 kg.Procedure- Th e animals were randomly divided into two groups . A bone defect (2.S-cm) was created onthe middle po rtion of the r...
