Background: The aims of this study is to determine the success of creating an inter implant / inter dental papillae after scalloping the crest of the jaw bones before
placement of dental implant and compare this new technique with other techniques for creation of inter dental/inter implant papillae
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A fifty five dental implantation were carried out for twenty one patients . Two stage dental implantation technique was done for all the
patients .In this new technique scalloping of the bone was carried out before placement of the dental implant .
RESULTS: The results of the present study indicates that the scalloping of the crest bone is consider as a best method for creation of inter implant / inter dental papillae and
achieving an esthetically satisfying result before placement of the dental implants..
CONCLUSIONS: Scalloping of the crest bone make a good foundations that are essential for maintaining/creating papilla.
Background: dorsal spine intervertebral disc prolapse (IVDP) not a very common entity compared with cervical & lumbar region usually treated surgically.
Patients & method: 22 patients studied in the specialized surgical hospital neurosurgical department from Jan 2002 till Jan. 2006. the study included age, gender, cases. clinical features, diagnoses & surgical management.
Results: 22 patients were studied 76% of the patients are at the age of 30-60 with slight male predominance, all diagnosed by MRI & or CT scan, all managed surgically by laminectomy the results are compared with other studies.
Conclusion: posterior thoracic laminectomy at the dorsal region is a safe, simple procedure with good res

Aspergillus flavus isolates which are considered on conidial shape through microscopic examination and mycelial colour through cultural properties . Primary screening for the ability of A. flavus isolates for aflatoxin production was determined using A.flavus parasiticus agar medium (AFPA) as well , 7 isolates from 11 isolates give a positive result by the presence of bright yellow-orange pigments indicated the presence of aflatoxins. Molecular genetics techniques using DNA polymorphism have been increasingly used to characterize and identify genetic diversity and relationships among eleven A. flavus isolated from different source using the ISSR(inter simple sequence repeats) technique. Three universal primers designed at University of B

Background: The preparation of Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is minimally invasive way, simple, low cost to obtain natural autologous growth factors and is now being widely used in different fields of medicine for its ability to increase the regeneration potential of tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of local application of autologous PRP gel on acceleration rate of osseointegration period by clinical assessment accomplished by determining the changes in implant stability during 3 months healing period using resonance frequency analysis (RFA). Materials and methods: A total of 28 dental implants were inserted in edentulous maxillae or mandibles of 13 patients using a split mouth design, i.e. each patient was received

Some initial loss of bone around dental implants is generally expected. There is reason to believe that reflecting a mucoperiosteal flap promotes crestal bone loss in the initial phase after an implant has been inserted. The surgical placement of a dental implant fixture is constantly changing and in recent years, there has been some interest in developing techniques that minimize the invasive nature of the procedure, with flapless implant surgery being advocated. The purpose of this study was to compare the radiographic level of the peri- implant bone after implant placement between traditional flapped surgery and f

Show MoreABSTRACT Background: Piezosurgery device is a system developed recently to overcome the limitation of the traditional surgical technique in implant site preparation, which use the principle of ultrasonic microvibrations to create precise & selective cut in bone in harmony with the surrounding tissues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of implants inserted by ultrasonic implant site preparation protocol (UISP) using piezosurgery device, regarding the survival rate, stability and other related factors, at 16 weeks postoperative follow up period. Materials and Methods: A total of (24) patients, (6) males and (18) females, aged between (19-51) years old, contributed in this study receiving a total of (42) implants, all of these
