Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Background: Temporomandibular disorders are pathological conditions which involve temporomandibular joint. Their etiopathogenesis is multifactorial. Therefore it’s interesting to analyse their correlation with other structures of the oral cavity such as tongue. The context and purpose of the study: to investigate the eventual correlations between temporomandibular disorders and atypical swallowing and between temporomandibular disorders and dyslalia in adult subjects. It is also studied the association between atypical swallowing and dyslalia in temporomandibular disorders and in healthy patients. |

The effect of Gauze Dressing use on reduction of Oronasal Fistula Rates following Cleft Palate Repair |
Author : Fatma Bilgen*, Alper Ural and Mehmet Bekerecioglu |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Background: The most incident and the most persistent complication following cleft palate repair is oronasal fistula. Fistulas involving the soft palate may be corrected via excision and primary closure; however fistulas of the hard palate constitue a majör challange.
Aims: In this study, in order to reduce the rate of oronasal fistula following cleft palate surgery, we present postoperative use of palatal gauze dressing. |

Can human amniotic membrane be used as an Ideal Suture or Filling Material? An Experimental study |
Author : Fatma Bilgen*, Alper Ural, M Nuri Karatoprak and Mehmet Bekerecioglu |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Background: The use of the patient’s own tissues in surgery increases the morbidity rate, whereas the use of injected or implanted materials can cause allergic reactions in the body mostly via immunogenic pathways. In addition, absorbable suture materials and some fillers used in almost all surgical applications can cause reactions in the body. |

Prolotherapy with 12.5% dextrose to treat temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) |
Author : Ehab Shehata |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Introduction: Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) is a collective term used to describe a complex and multifactorial disorders of the orofacial region. Symptoms commonly associated with TMD include TMJ pain, limited mandibular movement or locking and painful clicking or popping sounds. Most of patients diagnosed with TMD are initially treated conservatively. Failure of such conservatism poses a great challenge for the treating physician. Prolotherapy has been used successfully in many joints in the body by orthopedics and spinal surgeons. Injection prolotherapy has also been used in management of weakening tendons or ligaments in head and neck. |

Palatal pedicle graft for management of a severe case of black triangle: A case report |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Development of black triangles following surgical periodontal therapy in severe cases of periodontitis is a common complication faced by patients and clinicians. Restoring the natural form of the interdental area is of utmost importance especially when the anterior aesthetic zone is involved. A wide variety of approaches have been advocated to manage such aesthetic endeavours, which range from soft tissue manipulation to masking with restorative materials. However, the management of black triangles, particularly in cases of treated severe periodontal disease, requires a multidisciplinary approach to recreate the papillary anatomy. This presentation is a case report on management of a case with severe papillary recession occurring after flap surgery. The patient was treated with a combined approach with papilla reconstruction surgery using Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) and Palatal Pedicle Rotation (PPR) graft and direct composite build-up. |
