Introduction: Gold standard for alveolar cleft bone grafting is autogenous bone. Advantage of adding the growth factors to the bone is established, so adding PRF to the autogenous bone may have beneficial effects. Methods:  Platelet-rich plasma admixed with autogenous bone and as a biologic membrane over the bone grafted alveolar cleft was used. Results:  Autogenous bone in all (four cases...

The excess accumulation of water in lung interstitial or alveolar is called pulmonary edema which is caused by factors that upset the normal Starling balance in micro-circulation. Pulmonary edema disturbs the alveolar gas exchanges which are normally regulated by the respiratory system. Mathematical modelling of pulmonary edema may help to predict the lung conditions and the mechanisms involved...

purposes: the aim of this study was to evaluate the intra and inter-examiner reliability and reproducibility of linear measurements in cone-beam tomography (cbct) images taken by calibrated radiologists and periodontists. materials and methods: the alveolar ridge dimensions in selected cbct images were measured by two calibrated radiologists and two periodontists. intra and inter-examiner relia...

EFFECTS OF RAPID MAXILLARY EXPANSION ON UPPER AIRWAY; A 3 DIMENSIONAL CEPHALOMETRIC ANALYSIS Yoon H. Chang D.D.S. Marquette University, 2011 The purpose of this study was to use cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to assess changes in the volume and cross sectional areas of the upper airway in children with maxillary constriction treated by rapid maxillary expansion (RME). The study group cons...

background and aims. current infiltration techniques for achieving anesthesia in dental procedures are not applicable in posterior mandibular region because of its dense cortical bone. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a specific infiltration anesthesia in posterior mandibular teeth instead of inferior alveolar nerve block for restorative procedures. materials and methods. c...

background: to analyze the characteristic performance of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs) and susceptibility weighted imaging (swi) in cerebral alve-olar echinococcosis (cae). methods: we retrospectively analyzed 10 clinical-identified cae cases mr per-formance, and summarized the mrs and swi performance of cae. results: the 10 cases of cae all had the history of primary hae, among who 6 c...
