Aim Of The Study: To evaluate the functional state of the reproductive system following unilateral oophorectomy (UO).
Materials And Methods: Forty-three patients (aged 7 to 38 years) who underwent unilateral oophorectomy were divided into three groups based on their age at the time of surgery: Group I (7-15 years), Group II (16-30 years), and Group III (30-38 years). The functional state of the reproductive system was assessed 3 months and 1 year after the procedure.

The success of surgical treatment of maxillo-facial bone defects depends on bone regeneration ability. Bone volume can be restored by surgical implantation of various biomaterials, which have ability either to accomplish mechanically the function of bone or to produce the induction effect on bone regeneration process. Latest advancements in tissue engineering are enabling to find new materials with significantly less disadvantages than the currently used osteoplastic materials.
