Background:  Parts of the implants placed over the meniscus during meniscal repair can wear down the cartilage in the contact zones and cause chronic synovitis. Placing horizontal sutures under the meniscus may overcome this potential hazard. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the midterm results of arthroscopic meniscal repair using submeniscally placed out-in horizontal sut...

background: recently, tissue engineering has developed approaches for repair and restoration of damaged skeletal system based on different scaffolds and cells. this study evaluated the ability of differentiated osteoblasts from adipose‑derived stem cells (adscs) seeded into hydroxyapatite/ tricalcium phosphate (ha‑tcp) to repair bone. methods: in this study, adscs of 6 canines were seeded in ha...

background. repairing aged composite resin is a challenging process. many surface treatment options have been proposed to this end. this study evaluated the effect of different surface treatments on the shear bond strength (sbs) of nanofilled composite resin repairs. methods. seventy-five cylindrical specimens of a filtek z350xt composite resin were fabricated and stored in 37°c distilled water...

introduction: adequate seal of iatrogenically perforated area within the root canal system can improve the long term treatment prognosis. this in vitro study evaluated the sealing ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement and biodentine in repair of furcation perforation in primary molars. methods and materials: a total of 61 freshly extracted primary ma...
