statement of problem: one of the main goals in periodontal therapy is the correction of recession defects; therefore the efficacy and predictability of the various techniques are important considerations for clinicians. purpose: the purpose of this pilot study was to compare the outcomes of gingival recession therapy using the semilunar coronally repositioned flap (scrf) alone and in conjunctio...

purpose: to present our experience with cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive in eyes with exposed hydroxyapatite orbital implants. methods: cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive was used in 3 patients with hydroxyapatite orbital implant exposure defects. results: cyanoacrylate glue was applied on the defective area of 3 patients presenting with small exposure (<4mm). the patients were followed for 33 months (...

conclusion both adhesive systems showed good biological compatibility. background to investigate pulp response to the application of two types adhesive systems (total-etch and self-etch) in human premolar teeth. materials and methods cavities limited to enamel walls in all margins with 2.5 mm depth were prepared on buccal surfaces of thirty three human premolars. the cavities were treated with ...

BACKGROUND Photochemical tissue bonding (PTB) is a promising sutureless technique for tissue repair. PTB is often achieved by applying a solution of rose bengal (RB) between two tissue edges, which are irradiated by a green laser to crosslink collagen fibers with minimal heat production. In this study, RB has been incorporated in chitosan films to create a novel tissue adhesive that is laser-ac...

statement of problem: recently, it has been proposed that different adhesive materials can be used for direct pulp capping. previous studies have demonstrated that multi steps dentin adhesives could form reparative dentin similar to calcium hydroxide (ch). purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the histological pulp response of ninety mechanically exposed cat pulps to two adhesive resin...
