conclusions p. gingivalis and p. intermedia could play a role in implant failure by changing the expression profiles of genes related to bone formation and resorption. results viability was reduced to 56.8% (p. gingivalis) and 52.75% (p. intermedia) at 1000 multiplicity. amongst 48 genes examined, expressions of bmper, smad1, il8 and nfrkb were found to be highly upregulated by both bacterial c...

Objective: In this study, the bone regeneration ability of polyacrylamide hydrogel and nanohydroxyapatite scaffolds (PAAH/NHA) and stem cells derived from adipose tissue (ADSCs) in the healing of critical sized bone defects in rabbit radius were assessed. Animals and procedures: 12 New Zealand white male rabbits were divided into 3 groups. The rabbits were anesthetized and 15 mm bone def...

Background and Aim: Autogenous bone grafts are considered the gold standard although they have several disadvantages, leading to a search for suitable alternative graft biomaterials. This study evaluates the histological and histomorphometric properties of regenerated bone in defects in rabbits following the application of two commercially available xenografts (Bio-Oss and Osteon). Materials a...

Objective- To investigate and quantitate radiological and clinical changes in tissues and structures of the claws affected by Rusterholz ulcer.    Design- Cross-sectional and Descriptive study Animal- Seven culled lame cows were affected with “Rusterholz” ulcer Procedures- Forty one culled lame cows of 1135 culled cows having digital disorders which were randomly selected for clinical and r...

  Objective: Alveolar ridge preservation in patients with inadequate bone volume is one treatment option for successful implant placement and can be done by using bone graft materials. On the other hand, Ceno Bone has been recently produced by Hamanand Saz Baft Kish Co. as a bone bioimplant of allograft origin. This study aimed to assess the clinical, histologic and histomorphometric results of...

Biomaterials' structural characteristics and the addition of osteoinductors influence the osteointegration capacity of bone substitutes. This study aims to identify the characteristics of porous and resorbable bone substitutes that influence new bone formation. An Internet search for studies reporting new bone formation rates in bone defects filled with porous and resorbable substitutes was per...

Schwannoma is a benign tumor that arises from the sheath of myelinated nerve fibers and may occur in any part of the body. Osteogenesis in schwannoma is extremely rare and, to date, new bone formation in sinonasal schwannoma has not yet been reported. Here, we describe the first reported case of sinonasal schwannoma with new bone formation. The tumor was successfully treated by endoscopic sinus...

Polyarteritis nodosa was first described as a clinico-pathological entity by Kussmaul and Maier ( 1866), who called it periarteritis nodosa. Ferrari (1903) first called the disease polyarteritis nodosa, a name that describes the pathology more accurately. The disease may be grouped with the collagen diseases-desseminated lupus erythematosis, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis and others. It is c...
