dear editor periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the supporting tissues of the teeth. it is caused by specific microorganisms and leads to progressive destruction of periodontal ligaments and alveolar bone along with pocket formation, attachment loss or both (1). generally, periodontal diseases are chronic infections caused by special groups of bacteria, have long been consider...

Type I collagen fibers transmit forces, dissipate energy, and prevent mechanical failure in normal tissues. Mineralization of is proposed to strengthen these structural proteins as a possible therapeutic option for small tears soft tissues such cemental periodontal ligaments. In the present study, fascicles extracted from tail tendons male Sprague-Dawley rats were tested MiniMat tensile tester ...

Objective: To review existing literature and provide an update on the current use of Bio-Inks potential future use. Material Methods: A MeSH keyword search was conducted to find out relevant articles for this short review. Results: Bio inks used in 3D printing grafting require various properties essential selection. Combining multiple methods improved is developing successful bio-inks functiona...

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a benign growth, considered to originate from the periodontal ligament. It is often encapsulated and predominantly located in the mandible, and presents as a slow-growing lesion, but may cause deformity if left untreated. The definitive diagnosis of these lesions requires integration of its clinical, radiological and histological features. We present a case of cemen...

Odontogenic tumor is one of the tumors of great significance in the oral region. The process of its development remains obscure. It seems very advantageous in the investigation of dontogenic tumor to establish experimental models in laboratory animals. However, experimental attempts of induction of odontogenic tumor have not been very successful. In recent years, the carcinogenic property of ni...

The orthodontic treatment uses forces that produce structural and biochemical changes in the periodontal space breaking the balance between the synthesis and the breakdown of the collagen in the periodontium. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) plays a central role in the normal tissular remodeling processes, those in the tissular morphogenesis and the tissular repair (including the remodeling of t...

Adjunctive local anesthetic techniques and their armamentaria, such as intraosseous injection, computer-controlled delivery systems, periodontal ligament injection and needleless jet injection, have been proposed to hold particular advantages over conventional means of achieving local anesthesia. This article describes the use of each technique and proprietary armamentarium and reviews the lite...
