Application of modern computer-aided technologies in the production of individual bone graft: A case report.

Introduction: An autologous bone (bone derived from the patient himself) is considered to be a "golden standard" in the treatment of bone defects and partial atrophic alveolar ridge. However, large defects and bone losses are difficult to restore in this manner, because extraction of large amounts of autologous tissue can cause donor-site problems. Alternatively, data from computed tomographic (CT) scan can be used to shape a precise 3D homologous bone block using a computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) system.

An experience with colistin applied in treatment of imunocompromised patients with peritonitis on peritoneal dialysis.

Introduction: Immunocompromised patients, such as those with multiple myeloma on peritoneal dialysis, are particularly susceptible to the occurrence of peritonitis.

Case Report: We presented a 56-year-old female patient with a 10-year history of multiple myeloma. The patient was on peritoneal dialysis since 2010.

Comparison of efficacy of local hemostatic modalities in anticoagulated patients undergoing tooth extractions.

Background/aim: Patients receiving long-term oral anticoagulant therapy pose a clinical challenge during invasive dental procedures. The goal of this study was to compare different local hemostatic modalities after tooth extraction in patients receiving chronic Vitamin-K antagonist therapy.

Methods: Totally 90 patients with International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 3.

Improving mechanical properties of flowable dental composite resin by adding silica nanoparticles.

Background/aim: The main drawback of flowable dental composite resin is low strength compared to conventional composite resin, due to a low amount of filler, neccessary for achieving low viscosity and ease of handling. The aim of this study was to improve mechanical properties of flowable dental composite resin by adding small amount of nanoparticles, which would not compromise handling properties.

Methods: A commercially available flowable dental composite resin material was mixed with 7 nm aftertreated hydrophobic fumed silica and cured by an UV lamp.

[Stabilisation of lower denture using mini dental implants].

Unlabelled: INTRODUCTION. The role of the total lower denture is not only to replace the missing teeth but also to provide the substitute for a range of supporting tissues which have diminished due to the process of resorption, to re-establish the original relations in the region ofjaw complex, to support the surrounding soft tissues which have lost their natural support, and, moreover, to be unobtrusive and discrete substitution of lost functions. Application of Mini-dental Implants.

Comparative analysis of accuracy of diagnosis of chronic periapical lesions made by clinical and histopatological examination.

Introduction: The preliminary diagnosis of chronic periapical lesions is made on the basis of clinical symptoms and radiographs, which is a reliable diagnostic tool, but it has only a subsidiary role since histopathological verification is essential for the definitive diagnosis. This study was aimed at diagnosing removed chronic periapical lesions and classifying them by size as well as at comparing the clinical diagnoses with histipathological results.

Material And Methods: The study included 34 patients diagnosed with chronic periapical process by applying clinical examination and radiography.

[Orthodontic-surgical therapy of retained upper canine].

Introduction: Therapy of impacted teeth is undoubtedly one of the most intriguing issues for the experts in the field of dentistry. General dental practitioners, as well as specialists in the field of pediatric dentistry, periodontology, orthodontics and particularly oral and maxillofacial surgery have been facing this challenge throughout past several years. Each of these experts can contribute to solving this problem; however, each of them alone can solve only a limited number of cases.

[Complications after placement of peritoneal catheter].

Introduction: Peritoneal dialysis is one of the modalities used for treatment of end-stage chronic kidney failure. Nowadays, this method is complementary to haemodialysis and renal transplantation. Owing to the rich vascularization of the peritoneum, it is used in the processes of osmosis and diffusion, enabling the removal of uremic material from the body.

[Choice of surgical suture material used in oral cavity-clinical study].

Introduction: Historical data on closing and suturing of surgical wound describe a wide range of various suture materials. The choice of the surgical catgut, i.e.

[Effects of smoking on edentulous alveolar ridge mucosa].

Introduction: Tobacco use is an important risk factor for advanced histopathological findings on edentulous alveolar ridge mucosa. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of smoking on histopathological findings on edentulous alveolar ridge mucosa.

Material And Methods: The experimental group consisted of 48 patients (29 smokers and 19 nonsmokers).
