A Randomized Trial To Evaluate The Effect Of Allograft Bone Particle Size On Histomorphometric And Clinical Outcomes Following Ridge Augmentation Procedures, Hussein Basma
All ETDs from UAB
Ridge deficiency is an unfortunate obstacle that obviates the placement of dental implants or results in placing them at an angle that compromises the prosthetic restoration. An ideal volume is essential for implant placement in an optimal three-dimensional position. Several methods for augmenting the alveolar ridge in preparation for implant placement have been described. Autogenous bone grafts, considered to be the “gold standard”, are associated with significant morbidity and require a second surgical site. Guided bone regeneration (GBR), is an alternative technique that use bone-substitute materials as adjuncts to or replacements for autografts in bone augmentation procedures to overcome the …

The Effect Of Primary Palatal Repair On Growth In Cleft Lip And Palate Patients, Nadia Abou Kheir
All ETDs from UAB
Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is a facial defect that is represented as a split in the mouth, palate or both. In the United States approximately 4440 babies are born with CLP annually. More than US$600 million are spent on their treatment and mostly on surgical interventions. Considering the high expenses of primary palatal repair, its effect on growth has been controversial. Surgical scaring is postulated as the cause of maxillary hypoplasia. However, this operation has been considered necessary for function and development of speechHowever, this operation has been considered as necessary for better functional and speech outcomes.
