Orthodontic tooth extrusion to enhance soft tissue implant esthetics.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this report was to review the published data on orthodontic extrusion and make recommendations for its use according to the evidence presented, including the technique for use by clinicians. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A MEDLINE ... Read more...

Facial gingival tissue stability after connective tissue graft with single immediate tooth replacement in the esthetic zone: consecutive case report.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The present consecutive case report evaluated facial gingival tissue stability after immediate tooth replacement with connective tissue grafting in the esthetic zone. The implant success rate and peri-implant tissue response were also ... Read more...

Involvement of cytosolic phospholipase A2alpha in MMP-9 up-regulation.

30 Oct 2009 Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is important in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Cytosolic phospholipase A(2)alpha (cPLA(2)alpha) is involved in MMP-9 up-regulation in human monocytes. We tested the hypothesis that cPLA(2)alpha also regulates ... Read more...
