Gene Therapeutic Drug pCMV-VEGF165 Plasmid ('Neovasculgen') Promotes Gingiva Soft Tissue Augmentation in Rabbits.

Currently, an increasing number of patients are undergoing extensive surgeries to restore the mucosa of the gums in the area of recessions. The use of a connective tissue graft from the palate is the gold standard of such surgical treatment, but complications, especially in cases of extensive defects, have led to the development of approaches using xenogeneic collagen matrices and methods to stimulate their regenerative and vasculogenic potential. This study investigated the potential of a xenogeneic scaffold derived from porcine skin Mucoderm and injections of the pCMV-VEGF165 plasmid ('Neovasculgen') to enhance soft gingival tissue volume and vascularization in an experimental model in rabbits.

[The possibility of obtaining bone autograft from the anterior palate to restore limited bone defects].

Objective: Determination of the optimal zone of the alveolar process of the upper jaw for bone autograft sampling according to cone-beam computed tomography.

Material And Methods: A study was conducted to assess the possibility of taking a bone autograft from the palatine surface of the alveolar process of the upper jaw. The criteria for inclusion of patients in the study were the presence of a complete dentition and the absence of removed teeth in the upper jaw.

[Comparative analysis of the effectiveness of SF-MPQ-2 and VAS for assessing the severity of pain syndrome in dental patients in the postoperative period].

Objective: Conducting a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire-2 (SF-MPQ-2) and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for assessing the severity of pain syndrome in dental patients in the postoperative period in dynamics.

Material And Methods: The study included 51 patients who received dental surgical treatment. Two groups of patients were formed, depending on the type of surgery and the degree of trauma of the operation.

[Comparative characteristics of the incidence of facial boils in military personnel and civilians].

The Aim Of The Study: To study the frequency and structure of the incidence of facial furuncle in military personnel of St. Petersburg and Leningrad region and civilians. To conduct a comparative analysis of the nature of the course, duration and outcome of the disease in military personnel and civilians (according to case histories).

[Long-term results of dental implantation in military personnel].

Background: Currently, the use of the dental implantation method for the medical service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is quite new. The method of dental implantation makes it possible to eliminate defects in the dentition of military personnel and other contingents eligible for medical care in military medical institutions of the Ministry of Defense of Russia.

Objective: The aim of the study is to substantiate the medical effectiveness of the use of dental implantation in military healthcare.
