A Comparative Evaluation of Allogenic Cancellous Particulate Chips and Autologous Bone Graft From Symphysis in the Regeneration of Periodontal Intrabony Defect: A Randomized Controlled Clinico-Radiographic Study.

Background and objective Periodontal therapy primarily aims to regenerate periodontal supporting tissues lost due to periodontitis. Autogenous bone grafts (ABG) are viewed as the gold standard method in bone regeneration and they have fewer drawbacks. Hence, many different bone-regenerating materials can be used including allografts, which have excellent biological qualities.

Bridging Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Synergism with Movement Control Impairment Related Non-Specific Low Back Pain: Scoping Review.

Non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) with movement control impairment (MCI) subgroup often experiences postural pain and functional lumbar spine instability. This scoping review had two aims: 1) to map the evidence related to dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) efficacy as a spinal stabilization strategy and to identify gaps in the literature that may exist regarding the effectiveness of DNS in low back pain management and 2) to align the DNS approach as a potential intervention for MCI patients. The clinical trial studies related to DNS exercises were searched from inception until February 2024 through electronic databases, such as PubMed, Google Scholar, PEDro, and Science Direct.
