For optimizing functional and esthetic implant therapy results, sufficient bone amount is required at the reception site. A reduced buccolingual ridge dimension may not allow the placement of a standard-diameter implant without the risk of implant thread exposure. In such situations, lateral bone augmentation procedures can be performed that would allow a restorative-driven placement of standar...

BACKGROUND The structure of the anatomical surfaces, e.g., CSF and gray and white matter, could severely influence the flow of volume currents in a head model. This, in turn, will also influence the scalp potentials and the inverse source localizations. This was examined in detail with four different human head models. METHODS Four finite element head models constructed from segmented MR imag...

Recent fMRI studies are of interest in exploring long-range interactions between different brain structures and the functional activation of specific brain regions by known neuroanatomical pathways. One of the experimental approaches requires the invasive implantation of an intracranial electrode to excite specific brain structures. In the present report, we describe a procedure for the product...

A three-dimensional model of interstitial fluid flow and passive species transport within mineralized regions surrounding cross-cortical vessel canals is developed. In contrast to earlier studies, the present model applies to circulatory, non-stress-induced interstitial flow in porous cortical bone. Based on previous experimental observations, the canals are modeled as line sources that pass at...

PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the placement of wide-diameter implants on bone stress concentrations and marginal bone loss in the first molar region. Study hypotheses held that increasing implant diameter would decrease peri-implant bone stress levels, but that statistically significant reductions in clinical bone loss would either (1) not be observed for any implant diamet...

Three types of immature megakaryocytes, detected by their morphological properties, have been characterized in bone marrow of normal C57BL/6 mice. Morphological classification of these cells was carried out by determining (1) presence and relative amount of acetylcholinesterase, (2) cell size, (3) nuclear/cytoplasm ratio, and (4) nuclear shape. The immature megakaryocytes were classified as: (A...

background: it has been stated that the bone allografts from different tissue banks may lead to various amount of bone induction, so the aim of this study was to evaluate bone regeneration of three demineralized allografts both histologically and histomorphometrically in rabbits calvaria bone defects. materials and methods: in this double-blind randomized experimental animal study, 32 critical ...

Objective(s):Various methods for repairing bone defects are presented. Cell therapy is one of these methods. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) seem to be suitable for this purpose. On the other hand, lots of biomaterials are used to improve and repair the defect in the body, so in this study we tried to produce a similar structure to the bone by the chitosan and hydroxyapatite. Materials and Me...

Abstract Aiming to evaluate cortical bone microarchitecture and osteonal morphology after irradiation, twelve male New Zealand rabbits were used. The animals divided: control group (no radiation-NIr); 3 irradiated groups, sacrificed after: 7 (Ir7d); 14 (Ir14d) 21 (Ir21d) days. A single radiation dose of 30 Gy was Computed microtomography analyzed the microarchitecture: thickness (CtTh), volume ...
