AIM To evaluate histologically the morphology and characteristics of bone chips harvested intraorally by Safescraper, a specially designed cortical bone collector. MATERIAL AND METHODS Bone chips harvested near a bone defect or in other intraoral sites were grafted into a post-extractive socket or applied in procedures for maxillary sinus floor augmentation or guided bone regeneration. Core b...

this study was aimed to investigate the use of panoramic radiography in patients with low bone mineral density (bmd) in order to diagnose and prevent osteoporotic fractures. panoramic radiographs of 60 patients  (20 men and 40 women) aged from 40 to 70 years with cortical thicknesses of less than 3 mm in the mandibular angle were selected from patients referred to a dentomaxillofacial radiology...

INTRODUCTION Structurally intact, cancellous bone is an attractive grafting material because it can allow a greater degree of ingrowth by host tissues than cortical bone and may also be used as structural support for other biomaterials used to deliver osteogenic agents. Gamma radiation sterilization is a commonly used technique for reducing the risk of disease transmission with allograft, but i...

All materials undergo an aging process which is characterized essentially by changes of the rigidity (stiffness), of the ability to absorb the stresses (toughness) and then ultimately in the mechanical resistance (strength). Both cortical and trabecular bone undergo a continuous process of structural remodeling with the main aim to preserve their biomechanical properties. An imbalance in this p...

Osteomyelitis is a diffuse inflammation that affects the periosteum, cortical bone, and cancellous bone components. The inside of has been infected will become soft experience swelling which causes tissue to press against outer wall blood vessels in marrow whichcauses flow oxygen supply decrease drastically. Usually surgical therapy needed treat osteomyelitis, but if patient's physical conditio...

The geometric control of bone tissue growth plays a significant role in bone remodelling, age-related bone loss, and tissue engineering. However, how exactly geometry influences the behaviour of bone-forming cells remains elusive. Geometry modulates cell populations collectively through the evolving space available to the cells, but it may also modulate the individual behaviours of cells. To fa...

Pharmacokinetic investigations of antibiotics in peripheral tissue are important for appropriate and effective treatment of infections and for prophylactic use. Bone tissue is difficult to harvest, handle and analyse. The aim of this PhD dissertation was to apply microdialysis to bone tissue for the investigation of gentamicin in bone tissue. Microdialysis probes consist of thin semi-permeable ...

objective(s) bone marrow is the traditional source of human multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (mscs), but adipose tissue appears to be an alternative and more readily available source. in this study, rat adipose-derived stem cells (adscs) were induced to differentiate into schwann-like cells and compared with rat bone marrow stem cells (bmscs) for their schwann-like cells differentiation poten...

Immobilization of load-bearing bones results in imbalance of bone turnover followed by bone loss and impairment of its mechanical function. The question is whether immobilization induced bone loss is accompanied by deterioration of properties of the bone tissue components. Thermally induced transformations of collagen reflect the overall condition of the structure and cross-links in collagen ne...
