Osseous tissue

INTRODUCTION Idiopathic scoliosis is a three-dimensional spinal deformity that is characterized by significant curve progression during a growth spurt (1). The longitudinal growth plays an important role in the development and progression of idiopathic scoliosis (1). A histomorphic study of the vertebral endplates from IS patients confirmed a more active growth of the anterior column than the posterior column (2). This mainly affects young kids due to their bones not being fully formed and…

Periosteal lesions are non-specific changes to the underlying bone that can occur due to a range of diseases or other problems affecting the skeleton (Ortner, 2003). These lesions occur because the periosteum, which is the dense layer of connective tissue enveloping the bone, maintains osteoblastic capability throughout life. The lesions are not restricted to infections, but rather can be a result of any bone formation following a traumatic event affecting the skeleton (Ortner, 2003). Waldron…

FDG PET and PET/CT and the role of MRI One drawback of PET based imaging is that some tumor types do not demonstrate significant FDG avidity. Schwab JH et al. reported a case of myxoid liposarcoma metastasis to the lumbar spine and paraspinal soft tissues, which was not detected by FDG PET, but easily seen on MRI [19]. In these cases, where FDG PET offers limited sensitivity, other target specific radiotracers or other imaging modalities, such as MRI should be considered. The most useful role…

vera-green tea mouthwash can be useful in the postoperative course—in terms of pain—after the periodontal pocket reduction surgery. Key words: Aloe vera; Green tea; Mouthwash; Pain; Pocket reduction surgery INTRODUCTION Among periodontal surgeries, osseous resective surgeries are expected to have the most postoperative pain.(1) Patients complain of pain, swelling, and trismus are the factors that most negatively affect their quality of life after surgery(2), therefore patient compliance may…

TITLE PLATELET RICH FIBRIN USED IN THE REGENERATION OF INTRAOSSEOUS DEFECT IN AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS PATIENT – A CASE REPORT ABSTRACT (Words: 127) Background: Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is a fibrin matrix made of platelets, cytokines and growth factors. It releases growth factors essential for regeneration for healing. Case Report: PRF was obtained by a simple process from a generalized aggressive patient. PRF obtained was placed in the…
