introduction: coverage of bone grafts is very important in reconstructive surgery. in edentulous alveolar ridges this coverage is particularly important for supporting dental prostheses. here we present the case of a patient with a large deficient maxillary anterior region that was reconstructed with a bilateral palatal submucosal periosteal connective tissue flap: a soft tissue reserve for upp...

regarding to the important of pancreas in the body, this study was carried out on the histologic structure of pancreas of 6 pairs of iranian native turkeys of both sexes, age ranging from 26-30 weeks. routine histological techniques were used and stained by h&e; and masson’s trichrome, gomori’s method for reticulum, verhoeff’s, maldonado’s methods. the pancreas was covered with a thick dense co...

increased number of mast cells at the site of infection is widely regarded as important host defense against parasites. the kinetics of mucosal mast cells and connective tissue mast cells responses were studied in the intestines of 68 female cflp mice infected with 100 schistosoma mansoni cercariae. the number of mucosal mast cells and the connective tissue mast cells increased from week 3 and ...

this case report describes the clinical application of the coronally advanced flap procedure associated with the subepithelial connective tissue pedicle graft with palatal tunneling for the reconstruction of interproximal papillae. in this modified technique the distal end of the pedicle graft was divided into two parts, creating a bifid, which were then placed around the abutment and sutured o...

background: the differences between marginal gingiva and interdental papilla may be due to variation in the molecular composition of these two different anatomical structures. the aim of this study was to evaluate the staining intensity of fibronectin in human marginal gingiva and interdental papilla. materials and methods: in a prospective analytical study, 16 healthy subjects needing crown le...

background: the aim of this clinical trial study was to clinically evaluate the use of enamel matrix protein derivative combined with the coronally positioned fl ap to treat gingival recession compared to the subepithelial connective tissue graft by a new method to obtain denuded root surface area. materials and methods: thirteen patients, each with two or more similar bilateral miller class i ...
