PURPOSE The aim of this study was to radiographically and clinically compare the effect of extracellular matrix (ECM) membranes on dimensional alterations following a ridge preservation procedure. METHODS One of 2 different ECM membranes was applied during a ridge preservation procedure. A widely used ECM membrane (WEM; Bio-Gide, Geistlich Biomaterials, Wolhusen, Switzerland) was applied in t...

Tissue engineering, defined as using a combination of cultured cells and biodegradable scaffolds to repair tissue damaged by injury or disease, represents a booming sector of biomedical research. Animal experimentation is routinely performed prior to clinical trials. The presented study tries to translate the aspect of the 3Rs to tissue engineering research: Cell culture protocols were adapted ...

BACKGROUND Several grafting materials have been used for alveolar ridge augmentation. The literature lacks researches to compare CenoBone to other grafting materials. The aim of this study was to compare CenoBone/CenoMembrane complex to Bio-Oss/Bio-Gide complex in lateral alveolar bone augmentation in terms of radiographic, histologic, and histomorphometric parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS I...

this paper tends to investigate immorality written by andre gide, famous french writer of the 20th century. this research studies imagines of soil element in the immorality which is seen frequently in reverie of characters in this book. we show how author’s point of view and imagination result in speculations subject to this element, creating images to show internal spiritualities of characters...

The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of a bioresorbable collagen membrane (Bio-Gide) in combination with autogenous bone grafts in the treatment of peri-implant dehiscences, fenestrations, or limited vertical defects. Eighteen titanium dental implants with exposed threads placed in 17 patients were studied. Autogenous bone was used in all cases to fill the defect and maintain the...

OBJECTIVES To compare the performance and safety of Inion GTR(TM) Biodegradable Membrane System and Geistlich resorbable bilayer Bio-Gide((R)) membrane in human bone regeneration. MATERIAL AND METHODS In a multicenter, split blind, comparative, randomized, prospective, pilot study 15 patients have been randomized at surgery whether to be treated either with Inion GTR(TM) Biodegradable Membran...
