ABSTRACT
@#The plasma matrix is a kind of autologous blood conduct. It has been widely used in maxillofacial tissue regeneration, skin cosmetology and some other fields. Recently, to preserve the dental pulp as well as the teeth, pulp regeneration therapy and apical surgery have become increasingly important as well as the applications of bioactive materials. As a kind of autologous bioactive material, the plasma matrix has some natural advantages as it is easy to obtain and malleable. The plasma matrix can be used in the following cases: ①pulp revascularization of young permanent teeth with open apical foramina that cannot stimulate apical bleeding; ② apical barrier surgery with bone defects and large area perforation repair with bone defects or root sidewall repair surgery; ③ apical surgeries of teeth with large area of apical lesions, with or without periodontal diseases. The plasma matrix is a product derived from our blood, and there are no obvious contraindications for its use. Several systematic reviews have shown that the plasma matrix can effectively promote the regenerative repair of dental pulp in patients with periapical diseases. However, the applications of plasma matrix are different because its characteristics are affected by different preparation methods. In addition, there is still a lack of long-term clinical researches on the plasma matrix, and the histological evidences are difficult to obtain, so a large number of in vitro and in vivo experimental studies are still needed. This article will describe the applications of different kinds of plasma matrix for dental pulp regeneration and bone tissue regeneration in apical surgeries to provide references for clinicians in indication selection and prognosis evaluation.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Introduction: Surgical treatment of medium and large sized nasal septal perforation is challenging. Techniques with and without interposition grafts are used. Objective: The aim of this study is to explain how we apply the sandwich graft technique that we use in medium and large nasal septal perforations as well as to present the results. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the patients who were operated with the sandwich graft technique between January 2014 to December 2018 and followed up for at least 6 months. The demographic data, symptom scores, examination, and surgical findings of the patients were taken from the hospital records. Surgical outcomes were presented according to both perforation etiologies (idiopathic or iatrogenic) and sizes (Group A: < 2cm, Group B: ≥ 2 cm). Results: We reviewed 52 cases and 56 surgeries. The average diameter of the perforations was 19.2 mm. The success rate after initial surgeries was 84.6% (44/52). After 4 revision surgeries, the perforation was closed in 88.5% of the cases (46/52). Success rates for Group A and Group B were 90.0% and 86.4%, respectively (p = 0.689). The success rates in idiopathic and iatrogenic cases were 93.3% and 86.5%, respectively (p = 0.659). Conclusion: This study showed that the success rate of sandwich graft technique was higher in medium-sized perforations than large-sized ones and in idiopathic perforations compared to iatrogenic ones, but the latter rate was not statistically significant. This demonstrated that perforation size was not as important in the sandwich graft technique as in flap techniques.
Resumo Introdução: O tratamento cirúrgico da perfuração do septo nasal de médio e grande porte ainda é um desafio. Várias técnicas são usadas, com e sem enxertos de interposição. Objetivo: Descrever o uso da técnica de enxerto sanduíche que usamos nas perfurações de septo nasal de médio e grande porte e apresentar os resultados. Método: Revisamos retrospectivamente os prontuários de pacientes que foram operados com a técnica de enxerto sanduíche entre janeiro de 2014 e dezembro de 2018, com acompanhamento por pelo menos seis meses. Os dados demográficos, escores de sintomas, exames e achados cirúrgicos dos pacientes foram extraídos dos registros hospitalares. Os resultados cirúrgicos foram apresentados de acordo com as etiologias (idiopática ou iatrogênica) e os tamanhos da perfuração (Grupo A: < 2cm, Grupo B: >2cm). Resultados: Revisamos 52 casos e 56 cirurgias. O diâmetro médio das perfurações foi de 19,2 mm. A taxa de sucesso após as cirurgias iniciais foi de 84,6% (44/52). Após quatro cirurgias de revisão, a perfuração foi fechada em 88,5% dos casos (46/52). As taxas de sucesso para os Grupos A e B foram, respectivamente, 90,0% e 86,4% (p = 0,689). As taxas de sucesso nos casos idiopáticos e iatrogênicos foram, respectivamente, 93,3% e 86,5% (p = 0,659). Conclusão: Este estudo mostrou que a taxa de sucesso da técnica de enxerto sanduíche foi maior nas perfurações de médio porte do que nas de grande porte e nas perfurações idiopáticas do que nas iatrogênicas, mas sem significância estatística. Esse dado demonstrou que o tamanho da perfuração não foi tão importante na técnica de enxerto sanduíche quanto nas técnicas com uso de retalho.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the perforation repair method of purse-string suture with single channel after gastroscopy endoscopic submucosal resection (ESD) in treating gastric submucosalal stromal tumor originating from muscularis propria lay of gastric fundus. Methods 15 patients with GIST from gastric fundus muscularis propria were treated with ESD. The diameters of tumors were from 1.5 ～ 3.5 cm. Purse-string suture with single channel gastroscopy was performed for the gastric wall perforation during ESD. Results All patients underwent repair successfully. The procedure time was 10 ～ 15 min. No severe complications occurred. Conclusion Purse-string suture with single channel gastroscopy is a feasible and effective perforation repair method during ESD of gastric fundus.
ABSTRACT
Perforations are common complications of root canal therapy. In clinic, perforations that were improperly and untimely repaired can seriously affect the prognosis of teeth after root canal treatment. At present, the status of perforation repair in our country is worrisome. This paper focused on the progress of perforation repair in the country by discussing the current situation of repair methods and materials. This review aims to improve knowledge and aid clinical doctors in the sophistication of perforation repair in order to improve the retention rate of root-canal-treated teeth.

Iatrogenic perforations negatively impact the outcome of endodontic treatments. Studies on prognostic factors showed that perforations in the coronal third of the root with periodontal pocket formation have an unfavorable prognosis. A 36-year-old female was referred for endodontic evaluation of tooth #13 with a history of an iatrogenic perforation, happened 3 years ago. There was a sinus tract associated with perforation, 10 mm probing on the mesial and mesio-palatal, bleeding on probing, radiolucent lesion adjacent to the perforation and complete resorption of the interdental bone between teeth #13 and #12. After the treatment options were discussed, she chose to save the tooth. The tooth was accessed under rubber dam isolation, the perforation site was cleaned and disinfected using 0.5% sodium hypochlorite and sealed with calcium-enriched mixture cement. Eighteen months after treatment the tooth was functional and asymptomatic. The probing depths were normal without bleeding on probing. Radiographically, the interdental crestal bone formed between teeth #13 and #12. Despite all negative prognostic factors in this case (i.e., perforations in the coronal third, pocket formation, and radiolucent lesion), healing was unexpectedly achieved via non-surgical repair of the perforation. Further research on biological aspects of healing in the periodontium following iatrogenic perforations are recommended.

Objective To compare the effect of traditional open surgery and laparoscopic repair of gastric perforation on postoperative pulmonary function.Methods Fifty patients were divided into two groups according to therapeutic method.Group A underwent traditional open gastric perforation repair(n=25).Group B underwent laparoscopic repair of gastric perforation(n=25).The pulmonary functions were examined at 1 day,3 days and 7 days postoperatively.Results All patients had different degrees of postoperative pulmonary function decline.After operation,the forced vital capacity(FVC)and forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1)and vital capacity(VC)in group A were significantly lower than those in preoperation(P<0.05).The patients in laparoscopic operation group decreased significantly only on the first day postoperative.The postoperative pulmonary function of patients undergoing open surgery was significantly lower than that of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery(P<0.05).Conclusion Laparoscopic repair of gastric perforation has less damage to the lung function than traditional open gastric perforation repair.Laparoscopic surgery plays an important role in the recovery of postoperative pulmonary function.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of implants that were placed within the maxillary sinus that has a perforated sinus membrane by the lateral window approach. METHODS: We examined the medical records of the patients who had implants placed within the maxillary sinus that has a perforated sinus membrane by the lateral approach at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Chonnam National University Dental Hospital from January 2009 to December 2015. There were 41 patients (male:female = 28:13). The mean age of patients was 57.2 ± 7.2 years at the time of operation (range, 20–76 years). The mean follow-up duration was 2.1 years (range, 0.5–5 years) after implant placement. Regarding the method of sinus elevation, only the lateral approach was included in this study. RESULTS: Ninety-nine implants were placed in 41 patients whose sinus membranes were perforated during lateral approach. The perforated sinus membranes were repaired with a resorbable collagen membrane. Simultaneous implant placements with sinus bone grafting were performed in 37 patients, whereas delayed placements were done in four patients. The average residual bone height was 3.4 ± 2.0 mm in cases of simultaneous implant placement and 0.6 ± 0.9 mm in cases of delayed placement. Maxillary bone graft with implant placement, performed on the patients with a perforated maxillary sinus membrane did not fail, and the cumulative implant survival rate was 100%. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with perforations of the sinus mucosa, sinus elevation and implant placement are possible regardless of the location and size of membrane perforation. Repair using resorbable collagen membrane is a predictable and reliable technique.
