Effect of Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin and Concentrated Growth Factor on Tissues Around Implants in the Maxillary Anterior Region.

Background And Aim: Tissue repair surrounding implants is essential for the cosmetic maxillary anterior zone to respond favorably to implant therapy. Grafting platelets from an individual's blood was developed to overcome the esthetic requirements and speed up healing. Advanced platelet-rich fibrin (APRF) and concentrated growth factor (CGF) are used for good healing.

Investigating of Minimally Invasive Approaches in the Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders.

Background: Minimal intrusive TMJ operations have been recommended as a substitute for conservative therapy when conservative measures fail to relieve significant acute pain, chronic discomfort, inflammation, and/or degenerative illness, specifically in TMD cases.

Aim: This study was conducted to investigate minimally invasive approaches (TMJ arthrocentesis and TMJ arthroscopy) in the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

Methods And Materials: It was a prospective study which included 30 clinically and radiographically diagnosed cases of TMDs.
