Does Varying Platelet-Rich Fibrin Centri̇fugati̇on Protocols Enhance New Bone Formati̇on in Extracti̇on Site?

Background: Finding a protocol that could prevent bone resorption and be implemented in clinical practice would be crucial in providing sufficient bone to replace missing teeth with implants.

Purpose: The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of different centrifugation platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) protocols in new bone formation and bone regenerative markers.

Study Design, Setting And Sample: This randomized clinical trial was conducted at Izmir Katip Çelebi Research Hospital, a population-based facility in Izmir, Turkey.

A New Approach in Management of Orbital Adherence Syndrome.

Orbital walls are one of the most common sites of midface fractures and account for ~40% of traumatic injuries in this region. These fractures are often associated with changes in the anatomy of the orbital cavity and frequently affect the orbital inferior wall, infraorbital groove and canal, and medial orbital wall, which leads to changes in its pattern and volume as well. Generally, the forces required for brake superior and lateral walls are greater than those required for thin medial and inferior walls.

The Effect of Diltiazem on Microcirculation of Transplanted Tissue Flaps: Experimental Study on Rabbits.

Background: The aim of the presented study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of diltiazem on the microcirculation of the tissue flaps created in the delay phenomenon applied rabbits.

Methods: The experiment was performed in Central Research Laboratory of Azerbaijan Medical University, Baku, Azerbaijan in 2018. Ischemia model on the flaps were formed in 30 rabbits for experiment.

Psychometric evaluation of Azeri version of the head and neck cancer specific quality of life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-H&N43).

Background: Oral cancer surgery can have a deep effect on the quality of life in the patient both in terms of functional and psychological aspects. This study aimed to translate and validate the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer head and neck cancer specific quality of life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-H&N43) in Azerbaijan.

Methods: Forward-backward translation was applied in order to translate the EORTC QLQ-H&N43 from English into Azeri.

The Azeri Version of European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30): Translation and Validation.

Objective: Quality of life in cancer patients has become an important outcome measure. This study aimed to translate and validate the European Cancer Research and Treatment Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) in Azerbaijan.

Methods: Forward-backward procedure was applied to translate the EORTC QLQ-C30 from English into Azeri.

The Use of Pectoralis Major Musculocutaneus and Deltopectoral Flaps in Oromandibular Defects Reconstruction.

The main complication in patients with combined treatment of head, neck, mandibular and maxillary tumors is osteoradionecrosis, which appears after radiation therapy. Radiation therapy is widely used to treat cancer, but growing concern is related to the risk of osteoradionecrosis after treatment. This can occur after radiation therapy.

Evaluation of quality of life in patients with oral cancer after mandibular resection: Comparing no reconstruction, reconstruction with plate, and reconstruction with flap.

This cross-sectional study aimed to assess and compare quality of life in patients with advanced oral cavity tumors after mandibular resection in 3 groups (no reconstruction, reconstruction with plate, and reconstruction with flap) at the Cancer Institute, affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Quality of life was measured using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer core quality of life questionnaire and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer head and neck cancer-specific quality of life questionnaire-35 items. The comparison was tested using Kurskal-Wallis analysis.

The Application of Virtual Planning and Navigation Devices for Mandible Reconstruction and Immediate Dental Implantation.

Routine reconstruction of subtotal defects of the mandible and orthopedic rehabilitation supported by dental implants is achieved by means of detailed planning and lasts over a year. This article shows the outcomes of single-stage surgical treatment and immediate orthopedic rehabilitation performed with the help of preoperative virtual computer simulation. 3D investigation of pathological and donor sites, virtual simulation of tumor resection, positioning of the dental implants into fibula, virtual flap bending and transfer, virtual bending of fixing reconstruction plates, and fabrication of navigation templates and bridge prosthesis supported by dental implants were done preoperatively.
