Effects of polyglecaprone 25, silk and catgut suture materials on oral mucosa wound healing in diabetic rats: An evaluation of nitric oxide dynamics
2009
Guvenc, Tolga/0000-0003-1468-3415; BAS, BURCU/0000-0003-0593-3400 WOS: 000278232100022 PubMed: 20038896 Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of monocryl (Polyglecaprone 25), silk and catgut suture materials on wound healing in diabetic rats and to evaluate NO (nitric oxide) dynamics. Study desing: Fourty-eight male Wistar-Albino rats weighting 220-270 g were used in this study. The rats were categorized into 2 groups, as control group (n=24) and streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic group (n=24). For each group, incision wounds were created on the inner cheeck mucosa of the animals and wounds were closed primarily with three different types of sutures. These m…
Treatment of masseteric hypertrophy with botulinum toxin: A report of two cases
2010
BAS, BURCU/0000-0003-0593-3400; Kutuk, Nukhet/0000-0001-6563-1899 WOS: 000279667400021 PubMed: 20173718 Masseter muscle hypertrophy is a rare condition of unknown cause which is important in the differential diagnosis of head and neck masses, located in the cheek. Several treatment options reported for masseter hypertrophy, which range from simple pharmacotherapy to more invasive surgical reduction. Botulinum toxin type A is a powerful neurotoxin which is produced by the anaerobic organism Clostridium botulinum and when injected into a muscle causes interference with the neurotransmitter mechanism producing selective paralysis and subsequent atrophy of the muscle. Injection of botulinum tox…
