Fibrin sealants derived from human blood can be used in tissue engineering to assist the repair of bone defects. The objective this study was evaluate support system formed by a xenograft fibrin sealant associated with photobiomodulation therapy critical defects rat calvaria. Thirty-six rats were divided into four groups: BC (n = 8), defect filled clot; FSB 10), and xenograft; BCPBMT clot photobiomodulation; FSBPBMT sealant, xenograft, photobiomodulation. animals killed after 14 42 days. In...
BACKGROUND: Effective pain control in Dentistry may be achieved by local anesthetic techniques. The success of the technique mandibular structures depends on proximity needle tip to foramen at moment injection into pterygomandibular region. Two techniques are available reach inferior alveolar nerve where it enters canal, namely indirect and direct; these differ number movements required. Data demonstrate that is considered ineffective 15% cases direct 13-29% cases. OBJECTIVE: aim this study...
Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on qualitative, quantitative, and functional aspects in facial nerve regeneration process. Materials methods: Forty-two male Wistar rats were used, randomly divided into a control group (CG; n = 10), which without lesion was collected, four experimental groups: (1) suture (SEG) (2) fibrin (FEG), consisting 16 animals buccal branch sectioned both sides face; an end-to-end epineural performed right side, sealant used left side...
Bone defects cause aesthetic and functional changes that affect the social, economic especially emotional life of human beings. This complication stimulates scientific community to investigate strategies aimed at improving bone reconstruction processes using complementary therapies. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) use new biomaterials, including heterologous fibrin biopolymer (HFB), are included in this challenge. The objective present study was evaluate influence photobiomodulation on...
The aim is to evaluate the effects of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on guided bone regeneration process (GBR) in defects calvaria rats filled with biphasic calcium phosphate associated fibrin biopolymer. Thirty male Wistar were randomly separated: BMG (n = 10), biomaterial and covered by membrane; BFMG biopolymer BFMLG membrane biostimulated PBMT. animals euthanized at 14 42 days postoperatively. Microtomographically, days, there was more evident growth BFMLG, limited margins defect...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects low-intensity pulsed ultrasound at 1.0 MHz on healing process fractures with bone loss in rat fibula by alkaline phosphate level measurement and radiologic analyses.Thirty 70-day-old male Wistar rats underwent a resection 2.5 3.0 mm between proximal middle third right fibular diaphysis. animals were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups: reference (uninjured), control (injured only), treated 5 applications ultrasound, interspersed 2...
The association of scaffolds to repair extensive bone defects can contribute their evolution and morphophysiological recomposition. incorporation particulate biomaterials into three-dimensional fibrin bioproducts together with photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) has potential improve regenerative medicine procedures. objective this experiment was evaluate the effects PBM on critical size filled xenogenic substitute associated biopolymer.A defect 8 mm performed in 36 Wistar male adult rats that...
This study aimed to analyze the biocompatibility of anionic collagen matrices, local bone response following implantation in surgically-created defects, and also influence fiber orientation on neoformed osseous tissue. Seventy two rats (Rattus norvegicus albinus) were used this experiment. The animals divided into four experimental groups: Group 1 (control), without implants; 2, pericardium medullar implants 12 hours; 3, tendon 24 hours, with long axis fibers oriented parallel tibia; 4,...
Disturbances involving abnormalities in tooth eruption are named ectopia. Transmigration is the name assigned to ectopia presence of teeth areas distant from alveolar process. Initial angulation bud second premolar and premature loss permanent mandibular 1st molars can influence distal migration premolar. Some studies have observed that ectopic be found a variety places around oral cavity also other human body. There records maxillary sinus, condyle, coronoid process, angle, orbit, palate,...
This study evaluated the effect of ethanol on repair in calvaria treated with beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). Forty rats were distributed into 2 groups: Water group (CG, n = 20) and Alcohol Group (AG, 20), which received 25% ad libitum after an adaptation period 3 weeks. After 90 days liquid diet, submitted to a 5.0 mm bilateral craniotomy parietal bones; left was filled β-TCP (CG-TCP AG-TCP) contralateral only blood clot (CG-Clot AG-Clot). The animals killed 10, 20, 40 60 days. groups...
Abstract There are several differences between red and white muscles submitted to different experimental conditions, especially following denervation: a) denervation atrophy is more pronounced in than muscles; b) the size of fibers does not vary parts muscle before after denervation, when compared c) regional difference initially muscle; d) deep present degenerative changes such as disordered myofibrils sarcolemmal folds long‐term denervation; e) myotube‐like with central nuclei occur...
The purpose of the Dental Sculpture and Anatomy discipline is to introduce undergraduate students study anatomic morphological characteristics permanent primary human dentition, through classes, books cognitive psychomotor activities.This supports teaching specific knowledge necessary for a more extensive education, involving interdisciplinarity as means exchange among several areas dentistry, achieve comprehensive professional education.Students must recognize dental morphology from samples...
The aim of this study was to identify the shape and route bony canal posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) nerve (PSAN) using different identification methods, including computed tomography (CT), panoramic radiograph, macroscopic evaluation (corpse dry skull). Twenty-four patients were analyzed by CT anterior (PA) radiographs; additionally, 90 skulls 21 dissected anatomical specimens examined. Three-dimensional-CT revealed that lateral wall maxillary sinus resembled a tunnel format in...
Signaling lipid mediators released from 5 lipoxygenase (5LO) pathways influence both bone and muscle cells, interfering in their proliferation differentiation capacities. A major limitation to study inflammatory signaling healing is the inadequacy of available animal models. We developed a surgical injury model vastus lateralis (VL) femur 129/SvEv littermates mice simultaneous musculoskeletal (MSK) male female, young (3 months) aged (18 WT compared lacking 5LO (5LOKO). MSK defects were...
In this preclinical protocol, an adjunct method is used in attempt to overcome the limitations of conventional therapeutic approaches applied bone repair large defects filled with scaffolds. Thus, we evaluate effects photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on process demineralized bovine (B) and fibrin sealant (T). The groups were BC (blood clot), BT (B + T), BCP (BC PBMT), BTP T PBMT). Microtomographically, presented a hypodense cavity hyperdense regions adjacent border wound, slight increase at...
Facial palsy, parotid diseases and others are a relatively common clinical condition with variety of causes.Irrespective its etiology, facial palsy always represents very serious problem for the patient.Parotid gland also occurrence.In this particular case, knowledge surgical anatomy nerve correlations is important an adequate preservation in cases surgery benign malignant gland.Although has been well documented, concept treatment tumors, (neurorraphy techniques) submandibular approach...
