for regeneration for healing. Case Report: PRF was obtained by a simple process from a generalized aggressive patient. PRF obtained was placed in the intraosseous defect during open flap debridement. This case presents regeneration of intraosseous defect by adjunctive use of along with PRF open flap debridement. A follow up of one year showed reduction in clinical probing depth, gain in clinical attachment and increase in radio density on post operative radiograph. Conclusions: The healing of…

treatment for trench mouth is to have your teeth and gums thoroughly cleaned by an oral health care provider. During this cleaning, any dead tissue and pseudomembrane will be removed (debridement). This cleaning may be done using topical or injected medicine (local anesthesia) to numb your mouth. You may need to have debridement several times until the infection clears up. Other treatments include: • Using mouthwashes that contain antibiotic medicines, numbing medicines, or…

INTRODUCTION: According to Ong andHho1 fournier’s gangrene was originally described by Baurienne in 1764, but named by jean Alfred Fournier(1832 - 1914) in 1883 when he described the occurrence of a condition characterised by sudden onset in previously healthy young men, rapid progression to gangrene and absence of a definite cause, as quoted by Stephens et al.2 and Laor et al.3 the Persian physician Avicenna (980 - 1037) had earlier described the same condition in his book the Canon of…

Aortic graft infection is rare and carries a poor prognosis. The conventional managements for prosthetic graft infection are surgical debridement, removal of the infected graft, and reconstruction with the new graft prosthesis. However, these approaches are not feasible for some patients with anatomical difficulty of excision or severe comorbid medical illnesses. We report a case of aortic prosthetic graft infection treated successfully with long term antibiotics without surgical intervention. A…

mixtures (p. 638). Prevention of has by far been the most effective treatment Gas Gangrene and has accounted for the rarity of the infection today. Prevention often consisted of wound-debridement, which was a cleansing process that removed all dead tissue and foreign particles from the wound before it was closed. Wound debridement has been credited in largely reducing the incidence of Gas Gangrene after war wounds (Howard, 1955, p. 205). VACCINE: Although a lot of research has been done, there…

For my first clinical rotation at Elderwood of Lake Placid for the spring semester, it was a good one. At Elderwood, we started the day at seven am with our morning debridement of where we’d be that day and the patient we would be advocating and aiding for. I had patients DM and PH. For the patient DM, I administered medication and because DM is one of the residents who does not need as much assistance, I spent most of the day getting to know the resident,which was a real treat because you can…

doctors offices then we ever have in our lives. Together we have witnessed the trials and tribulations that come along with cancer- hair and weight loss, having to change chemotherapy when one has stopped working, skin discoloration, biopsies, debridement, and surgery. through it all our mother remained full of light, love and positivity. Our mother was superwomen, truly one of a kind. Unfortunately her cancer spread to the neck and brain and even then she put up a fight with a smile on her face…

Osteomyelitis is an acute or chronic infection of the bone. The infection can be caused by direct penetration or contamination of an open fracture or wound, through the bloodstream (hematogenous spread), extension from a contiguous site, or from skin infections in people with vascular insufficiency. Many types of organisms such as viruses, parasites, fungi, and bacteria can produce osteomyelitis, but infections caused by certain pyogenic bacteria and mycobacteria are those most common. About…
