Effect of Laser Therapy on the Osseointegration of Immediately Loaded Dental Implants in Patients under Vitamin C, Omega-3 and Calcium Therapy.

Background: The use of laser therapy in the biostimulation of bone repair has been growing steadily.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the radio-densitometric effect of low-intensity laser therapy on the osseointegration of immediately loaded dental implants in patients under vitamin C, omega-3 and calcium therapy.

Patients And Methods: A single implant was placed in the mandibular first molar region of twenty patients which were equally divided into two groups.

Effect of Laser Bio-Stimulation on Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis: An Experimental Study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the osseous response to laser bio-stimulation clinically and histologically during distraction osteogenesis (DO) induced in the mandibles of mongrel dogs.

Materials And Methods: Thirty dogs were divided into 3 groups of 10 (5 with and 5 without laser treatment) according to sacrifice periods (2, 4, and 8 weeks after distraction). DO was performed between the mandibular second and third premolars using an internal linear distractor.

Case Report: We describe a 6-year-old boy who presented with gingival bleeding, pain, eating difficulty, and peeling of the gums. Clinical examination revealed desquamative gingivitis with no extra-oral involvement.

Mild facial dysmorphism and quasidominant inheritance in Cenani-Lenz syndrome.

Cenani-Lenz syndrome (CLS; MIM 212780) is a rare autosomal recessive syndactyly/synostosis syndrome. No facial dysmorphism was previously noted. We studied two families; in the first an affected female had a previously affected brother and her father was said to have been similarly affected.
