Over the past 2 decades use of dental implants to advance functional and esthetic demands dentition has amplified significantly. Patients today have become extremely concerned about esthetics which an integral part periodontal practice. One major factors contributing improved is soft hard tissue management. A chief concern defects around implant restoration. Implant dehiscences compromise aesth...

This study examined the naturally occurring dimensions of the dentogingival junction in 10 adult human cadaver jaws. The connective tissue attachment, epithelial attachment, loss of attachment, and sulcus depth were measured histomorphometrically for 171 tooth surfaces. Mean measurements were 1.34 +/- 0.84 mm for sulcus depth; 1.14 +/- 0.49 mm for epithelial attachment; 0.77 +/- 0.32 mm for con...

A fibroadenoma was diagnosed in the mammary gland of a lamb by immunohistochemical method andmeasurement of oestradiol hormone. The tumor was characterized by an encapsulated firm mass with acreamy-white cut surface. Histologically, it consisted of variably-sized sinus ducts, covered by a single ormultiple layers of proliferated epithelial cells, and embedded in a loose connective tissue. Immun...

the purpose of this study was the utilization of different methods of tissue culture in proliferation of epithelial cells and autologous graft to cover surface areas without skin specifically, which is due to thermal burns more than 50%. in this experience we performed from rabbits and success to cover almost 24 times original donor site with autograft.

Introduction: Cigarette smoking has been recognized to be a risk factor for progression of periodontal disease . Due to less inflammation and bleeding in the presence of clinical signs of periodontal disease in smokers than in nonsmokers and given the conflicting results of studies on changes in the epithelium and gingival connective tissue by smoking, this study was performed to evaluate the t...

PURPOSE To investigate whether the application of a particular platelet-rich plasma preparation rich in growth factors (PRGF) during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery gives a potential advantage for better tendon graft ligamentization. METHODS This study included 37 volunteers who underwent either conventional (control group, n = 15) or PRGF-assisted (n = 22) ACL reconstruction with an...
