Abstract
Our results indicated that the solute diffusion in TMJ discs is inhomogeneous and anisotropic. These findings suggested that diffusive transport in the TMJ disc is dependent on tissue composition (e.g., water content) and structure (e.g., collagen orientation). This study provides a new method to qu...

Abstract
I and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type II, but it is now apparent that these form a continuum of clinical findings and differ only in phenotypic severity. It is currently estimated that approximately 50% of patients with a clinical diagnosis of classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome harbor mutations in the COL5A...

Abstract
The sequelae of socket collapse and localized ridge resorption after tooth extraction in the posterior maxilla can adversely affect esthetics, function, and future implant placement. Immediate grafting of extraction sockets may help to preserve natural ridge contours; but lack of available soft tiss...

Subpapillary continuous sling suturing method for soft tissue grafting with the tunneling technique.
Abstract
This paper describes a new suturing method, the subpapillary continuous sling suture, for use with soft tissue grafts in tunnel procedures to treat gingival recession. This method combines the graft suture and the sutures used to advance the pouch margins over the graft into a single continuous slin...

Abstract
An esthetic implant-supported rehabilitation continues to be a major challenge in patients with a thin periodontium. Ridge preservation and immediate implant placement are intended to preserve the hard tissue volume and prevent preimplant bone loss following tooth extraction. Since these techniques...

Effects of soft tissue punch size on the healing of peri-implant tissue in flapless implant surgery.
Abstract
The results show that the size of the soft tissue punch plays an important role in achieving optimal healing. The findings support the use of a tissue punch slightly narrower than the implant itself to obtain better peri-implant tissue healing around flapless implants.
