This in vitro study examined three titanium miniplate systems: Leforte (CMF system) (Group A), Synthes (DePuy Co. Zuchwil, Switzerland) B), and Stryker (Stryker Leibinger Inc) C). Each system was divided into control (uncoated) test (selenium-coated) groups, using 4-hole, 1.5 mm thick plates with 6 screws. Surface characteristics antimicrobial efficacy were assessed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier...

Neurofibroma is an uncommon benign tumor arising from nerve sheath fibroblasts. The diagnosis of solitary lesions becomes difficult in patients who do not have any family history neurofibroma.
