Background And Objectives: Irradiated wound healing is a highly complex and dynamic process. The latest technology making a huge difference in this process is stem cell therapy. The goal of this study was to evaluate the use of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) or human amniotic epithelial cells (HAECs) in the healing of irradiated wounds.

Design: Thirty male Swiss Albino rats ranging from 120 to 150 g were used in this study. The animals were subjected 6 gray gamma radiations.
Introduction: One method used to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement is the corticotomy-facilitated (CF) technique. The purposes of this study were to (1) identify the effect of the CF technique on orthodontic tooth movement compared with the standard technique, and (2) explore the histologic basis of the difference between the 2 techniques.
Methods: Six dogs, aged 6 to 9 months, were used in this study.
Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to assess histologically the bone changes around immediately loaded mini screws and whether there is a difference in those changes upon using corticotomy facilitated (CF) orthodontic tooth movement technique, in comparison to standard (S) orthodontic tooth movement technique.
Materials And Methods: Six dogs, aged 6-9 months, were used in this study. Extraction of the maxillary second premolar and mini screw placement were done bilaterally in the maxilla.
