The Effect Of Oral Allografts Of Cancellous Bone And Marrow In Mice, George E. Deeb
The Effect Of Oral Allografts Of Cancellous Bone And Marrow In Mice, George E. Deeb
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The purpose of this study was: to develop a model for testing oral bone transplantation; to study the healing of a surgically produced defect with and without the transplantation of strongly allogeneic cancellous bones and marrow; and to determine the fate of the allogenic grafts. Twenty-eight CBA/H mice served as experimental animals. Intra-oral defects were made and in 14 of the animals strongly allogenic cancellous bone and marrow were transplanted. The 14 remaining animals served as controls. It was observed that the healing was delayed in the experimental animals as compared to the controls and that the grafted material was …
Microscopic Evaluation Of Topically Applied Chlorhexidine Gluconate On Gingival Wound Healing In Dogs, Robert C. Hirst
Microscopic Evaluation Of Topically Applied Chlorhexidine Gluconate On Gingival Wound Healing In Dogs, Robert C. Hirst
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The purpose of this study was to evaluate microscopically the effect of topically applied 2% chlorhexidine gluconate on the healing of gingival wounds in dogs.
One week after the teeth were scaled and polished, seven experimental wound sites were prepared in the facial gingiva adjacent to the four premolars on each side of the maxillary arch in six young Labrador dogs. From this point the dogs were fed a soft plaque-inducing diet. Chlorhexidine solution was applied daily to either the right or left maxillary premolars while on the opposite side of the arch in three dogs the first and second …
Marrow Isografts In The Oral Cavity Of Mice, Robert L. Merin
Marrow Isografts In The Oral Cavity Of Mice, Robert L. Merin
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The objectives of this study were to develop an animal model for testing oral bone and marrow transplantation that is adaptable to immunological studies; to determine the effect of an isogeneic graft of cancellous bone and marrow on the healing of surgically created defects; and to determine the fate of grafted isogeneic cancellous bone and marrow transplanted into defects. Fourteen CBA/H mice served as experimental animals and bilateral intraoral defects were prepared. The experimental side received isogeneic graft material while the other side served as a control. Osseous healing was found to be accelerated in the defects receiving graft material …
Endodontic Sealing Properties Of Cavit, Chloro-Rosin Gutta Percha, N2, And Silver Cones Using Radioisotopes, Frank H. Beal
Endodontic Sealing Properties Of Cavit, Chloro-Rosin Gutta Percha, N2, And Silver Cones Using Radioisotopes, Frank H. Beal
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The main purpose of this investigation was to test the endodontic sealing abilities of silver cones, N2, warm gutta percha, chemically softened gutta percha, laterally condensed gutta percha and Cavit under carefully controlled conditions. Evaluations were done by radiographic, macroscopic, microscopic, and autoradiographic examinations.
The four points which must be considered when evaluating the efficacy of sealing root canal systems, in vivo, were presented and discussed.
Cavit as a total endodontic filling material was presented, investigated and discussed.
An improvement of the chloro-rosin - gutta percha diffusion technique was presented.
The concept of surface as well as marginal leakage was …
A Clinical Evaluation Of A Technique Utilizing Plastic Modules For Cuspid And Incisor Retraction, Dwane I. Johnston
A Clinical Evaluation Of A Technique Utilizing Plastic Modules For Cuspid And Incisor Retraction, Dwane I. Johnston
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
In a clinical study, polyurethane-type plastic modules were evaluated for use in retracting cuspids and incisors in Class I extraction cases.
Seven patients were selected to be treated with a technique utilizing these plastic modules. All cases were in Class I molar relationship and were either bimaxillary, protrusive or had tooth-size, arch-length discrepancies.
Evaluation was based on rate of cuspid and incisor retraction and the control of molar anchorage during the retraction phase.
At four-week intervals data were collected on space closure. At the same time, such subjective data as amount and duration of pain, difficulty of appliance adjustment and …
