both anorganic bovine bone (abb) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-tcp) are used in clinical practice as bone substitute materials, but there is limited data comparing these two materials in standardized defects. the aim of this study was to histologically evaluate the effectiveness of abb and β-tcp in the healing of experimentally induced bone defects.eighteen bone defects were created on the calv...

low-intensity laser therapy (lilt) is defined to supply direct biostimulative light energy to the cells. while several studies have demonstrated that lilt has stimulating effects on bone cells and can accelerate the repair process of the bone, others reported delayed fracture healing or no effects after lilt. the aim of this article was to review the studies evaluating the biomodulation effects...

since bone marrow has been shown to contain osteoprogenitor cells, an experiment was devised to test its effects when injected percutaneously into osteotomies sites in rabbit radii. in this experimental study, the osteogenicity and its effect on early bone repair of bone marrow grafts were investigated. the purpose of this study was to determine whether bone marrow grafted percutaneously led to...

Objective- Although the promotional effects on bone healing of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF)have been well demonstrated, the effects of static magnetic fields (SMF) remained unclear. In this study,effects of SMFs on clinical and biomechanical aspects of bone healing using a canine unstable osteotomygap model were investigated .Design- Prospective descriptive trial.Animals- Fifteen mongre...

traumatic injuries in the primary dentition pose major challenges for management. this emergency treatment requires proper planning so as to achieve favorable results. trauma causing severe dentoalveolar injuries, especially in children, needs an interdisciplinary approach so as to retain normal functional anatomy for that age. this article describes a clinical innovative technique, which utili...

Background: There are multiple methods for acceleration of bone healing. Bone marrow has been shown to contain osteoprogenitor cells. Objective: To determine the effect of percutaneous bone marrow injection on bone healing. Methods: 15 mature, 2-kg-weighing white New Zealand rabbits from both sexes were randomized into 3 groups: Group I: Only osteotomy of right radius was performed and a 5 mm b...

objective: to determine the effects of platelet rich plasma prp on healing rates of long bone non-:union: fracture. method: this was a randomized double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial being performed in a 12-month period. we included 75 adult (>18 years) patients suffering from long bone (femur, tibia, humerus and ulna) non-:union: fracture who were randomly assigned to receive 5ml prp...

Abstract Background Bisphosphonates‎ inhibit osteoclasts, prevent bone resorption and decrease bone turnover. This study examined radiography finding in bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of jaws. Materials and Methods This is a retrospective series of 12 clinically diagnosed patients between 7 to 21 year old (average 13 years). They required emergency dental conditions requiring mana...
