Human alveolar macrophage inhibition of lung fibroblast growth. A prostaglandin-dependent process.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
The processes controlling fibrosis in the human lung are poorly understood. Mononuclear cells may be important regulators of fibroblast function, and the alveolar macrophage (AM) is the major mononuclear phagocyte of the human lung. To further understand

The “FAD” (Floating Alveolar Device): A bidirectional distraction system for distraction osteogenesis of the alveolar process

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2004
The following study illustrates preoperative and perioperative vector management in alveolar distraction using a new distraction system--the "Floating Alveolar Device" (FAD). The FAD is a bidirectional alveolar distractor that allows augmentation of an atrophic alveolar process in several planes, assures easy intraoperative positioning of the planned ...

Mandibular coronoid process grafting for alveolar ridge defects

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology, 2012
We describe the clinical results of mandibular augmentation with coronoid process bone grafts for dental implant insertion.Fifteen patients with vertical and transverse defects of the posterior alveolar process of the mandible were treated. All patients underwent mandibular rehabilitation with autogenous coronoid process bone grafts via minimal-access ...

TREATMENT OF ALVEOLAR PROCESSES AFTER EXTRACTION

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1927
To the Editor: —InThe Journal, January 15, p. 192, "M.D. of Illinois" writes for information as to "the desirability or not of curetting the alveolar processes and suturing the gums thereafter following the extraction of teeth." When apical infection ensues from a tooth containing a diseased pulp, the infection enters the spongy-like tissue of the ...

Implant positioned buccally of the alveolar process; a complication

Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Tandheelkunde, 2016
Because of a blue discolouration of her mucosa a 58-year-old patient visited her new dentist. Her medical history revealed that several months before an implant in the region of dental element 22 had been installed. When palpating the alveolar region, a painless hard swelling was felt.

Fractures of the alveolar process of the jaw. A clinical and radiographic follow-up study.

Scandinavian journal of dental research, 1970
— A study is reported on the prognosis of fractures confined to the alveolar process. The clinical and radiographic findings concern 29 patients with alveolar fractures, involving 71 permanent teeth. The observation period varied from 1 to 12 years (mean

The processing of exogenous cholesterol in the alveolar compartment of the rat lung

Lipids, 1989
AbstractWe have examined the esterification of [3H]cholesterol following the intratracheal instillation of a tracer amount into the isolated rat lung perfused with Krebs bicarbonate containing 4.5% albumin. At 5, 30 and 60 min after instillation, lungs were lavaged at 2°C with 3×10 ml of 0.15 M NaCl, each volume instilled and withdrawn three times ...

Implant treatment in combination with lateral augmentation of the alveolar process: a 3-year prospective study.

Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research, 2003
BACKGROUND In patients in whom the height of the alveolar process is adequate but the crest is too narrow to host an implant, lateral augmentation is required.

Alveolar Process Anabolic Activity in C3H/HeJ and C57BL/6J Inbred Mice

, 2008
Background: The purpose of this study was to characterize bone activity of the alveolar process in C3H/HeJ (C3H) and C57BL/6J (B6) inbred mice. Based on observations in other animal species, we hypothesized that the bone-formation rate/bone surface (BFR ...
