BACKGROUND AND AIM: An important goal of periodontal plastic surgery is the creation of attached gingiva around the teeth. In this study, the aims were to culture gingival fibroblasts in a biodegradable scaffold and measure the width of attached gingiva after the clinical procedure.METHODS: This study was carried out on 4 patients (8 sites), with inadequate attached gingiva next to at least two...

objectives: attached gingival width (agw) is an important marker for diagnosis of periodontal disease and normal gingival sulcus depth (gsd) is a sign of healthy periodontium. the aim of this study was to determine the agw and gsd in3-15 year-olds with three dentition systems in isfahan in 2001.   methods: a total of 360 students (120 students in each system) eligible for this cross sectional s...

of scaling aggregate bandwidth by spreading partial functions over a number of disk processors. Object-level storage abstraction, introduced by NASD, is recognized to be the third alternative in addition to block-level storage abstraction typically seen in SAN storage environments and file-level storage abstraction in NAS storage environments. Content-Addressable Storage is another example whic...

0272-1732/00/$10.00  2000 IEEE The need to access anything from anywhere has increased the role of distributed file servers in computing. Distributed file systems provide local file system semantics for access to remote storage. This allows network clients to incorporate the remote storage into their local file system. File semantics are well understood by users and applications, making distri...
