Tension-free flap closure to prevent soft tissue dehiscence is a prerequisite for successful
bone augmentation in orodental reconstructive surgery. Since soft tissue contour follows the …

Purpose: Oral soft tissue augmentation or grafting procedures are often necessary to
achieve proper wound closure after deficits resulting from tumor excision, clefts, trauma …

Pressurized solids are ubiquitous in nature. Mechanical properties of biological tissues arise
from cell turgor pressure and membrane elasticity. Flat contact between cells generate …

Objectives Conventional guided bone regeneration (GBR) limits the amount of bone graft
due to limited soft tissue expansion. We hypothesize that the use of tissue expander will …

Background Tissue expanders (TE) are frequently used worldwide. In this study we
surveyed outcome of our patients retrospectively during 15 years. Materials and Methods …

Successful use of tissue expanders depends on the quality of expanded tissue. This study
evaluates the impact of anisotropic self-inflating tissue expander (SITE) on the biomechanics …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the development of soft tissue expanders,
their different types and their potential applications prior to bone augmentation and implant …

The aim of the study was to study the effect of soft tissue expansion and subsequent surgery
of the GBR on hemodynamic parameters. Materials and methods. In 2021-2022, 60 patients …

Background: Tension-free closure of the intraoral site is a prerequisite at bone augmentation
procedures. Dental surgeons mainly use a technique called soft tissue mobilisation. The soft …

Background: The use of a tissue expander in maxillofacial intraoral tissue reconstruction is a
developing approach, which provide adequate tissue coverage and aesthetics. Objectives …
