Moringa oleifera leaf extract promotes the healing of critical sized bone defects in the mandibles of rabbits.

Objective: The search for an osteopromotive material that enhances the efficacy of alloplasts in reconstructive surgeries has been going on for years. This study aimed to histologically and histomorphometrically evaluate the efficiency of Moringa oleifera leaf extract as an osteopromotive biomaterial.

Design: The study is a prospective randomized controlled animal study.

Efficacy of hyaluronic acid gel and photobiomodulation therapy on wound healing after surgical gingivectomy: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: Surgical gingivectomy can be considered the gold standard treatment for gingival enlargement. The healing of wound site after gingivectomy occurs slowly by secondary intention. To accelerate the wound healing process, several studies have been conducted evaluating the effect of various treatment modalities.

Immediate Implant Placement in Intact Fresh Extraction Sockets Using Vestibular Socket Therapy Versus Partial Extraction Therapy in the Esthetic Zone: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Purpose: This randomized clinical trial aimed to assess esthetic and soft and hard tissue outcomes 6 months after immediate implant placement using vestibular socket therapy (VST) (test) versus partial extraction therapy (comparator) in intact thin-walled fresh extraction sockets in the esthetic zone.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four patients with hopeless maxillary anterior teeth requiring immediate implant placement were randomly assigned to two equal groups to receive either VST or partial extraction therapy. Definitive restorations were delivered after 3 months.

A novel atraumatic extraction technique using vestibular socket therapy for immediate implant placement: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Purpose: This randomized controlled clinical trial compared soft tissue changes following a novel vestibular atraumatic extraction technique (test group) versus the conventional incisal atraumatic extraction approach (control group) while implementing the vestibular socket therapy for immediate implant placement.

Methods: Thirty patients with hopeless maxillary anterior teeth requiring atraumatic extraction were randomly assigned into two equal groups to receive either test or control. Vertical soft tissue alterations in mm were measured at baseline and 12 months post-restoration using intraoral digital scans at three reference points, distal papilla, mid-facial gingival margin, and mesial papilla, as well as pink esthetic scores (PESs) after 12 months.

Does Grafting the Jumping Gap in Immediately Placed Anterior Implants Using Vestibular Socket Therapy Influence the Labial Bone Thickness?

Purpose: There is no consensus in the literature on whether grafting the jumping gap (the distance between the inner surface of the labial bone plate and the implant surface) in immediately placed implants influences the thickness of the labial bone plate. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of particulate bone graft filling material and spontaneous bone healing following blood clot formation when placing immediate implants in the esthetic zone.

Methods: A double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in a private practice on patients scheduled for immediate implant placement using the vestibular socket therapy between November and December 2019.

Immunohistopathologic evaluation of Drynaria fortunei rhizome extract in the management of Class II furcation defects in a canine model.

Background: Management of furcation defects is still a challenging subject in periodontal therapy. Drynaria fortunei (Df) is a common type of traditional Chinese herb in the area of orthopedics and traumatology. In vitro and tissue engineering studies have shown that Df induces osteoblastic proliferation and promotes the differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells.
