conclusions we report of loss of achieved length after lengthening with a telescopic nail. weight bearing before complete consolidation of the regenerate might be a risk factor for that. thorough examination of the limb length and careful evaluation of the radiographs are required in the follow-up period. the precice nail system requires the same vigilance like the other intramedullary systems ...

BACKGROUND There are many techniques that are used for limb lengthening. Lengthening a limb over a plate is an alternative choice used in children or when using an intramedullary nail is difficult. OBJECTIVES In this study, we presented a new technique for tibial lengthening using a monolateral external fixator over a lengthening plate. MATERIALS AND METHODS For tibial lengthening, a monola...

relies heavily on the position of the teeth and the position and architecture of the soft tissue.1-4 Often, an interdisciplinary treatment approach is needed to address the different treatment parameters and provide the most esthetic outcome. Many different treatment options for altering gingival levels have been documented in the literature.5-11 Regardless of the treatment modality selected, t...

A key goal of aesthetic/cosmetic dentistry is the fabrication of maintain-able, aesthetic, and functional pros-theses that preserve the health of the teeth and soft tissues. 1,2 Advances in restorative dentistry have significantly improved the clinician's ability to deliver predictable treatment. When implants are indicated, osseoin-tegration is an added factor that is essential for success. 3 ...

abstract the attrition of anterior teeth leads to the loss of efficient anterior guidance, which protects posterior teeth from wear during lateral excursions. this clinical report describes a 48-year-old man with diagonal tooth wear and posterior mandibular tooth loss. the clinical diagnosis was based on a complete oral examination, photos, functional analysis of lateral excursion movements, ge...

the biologic width (bw) includes attached epithelial cells and connective tissue attachment complex being very important in the periodontal health during prosthetic treatments as invading this zone can cause bone resorption and gingival recession. the present study investigated biologic width values in the normal periodontium in anterior and posterior teeth. 30 patients that referred from resto...

Introduction: The health hazards resulting from exposure to formalin have given rise the need of developing safer alternative fixatives. Almond oil has been widely used in aromatherapy and cosmetic industry for its good penetrating skin-rejuvenating properties, whereas vitamin E is a known anti-oxidant. present study aimed test fixative efficacy almond with as compared formalin.
