1. Reconstruction of the alveolar process in cleft patients
Sammanfattning : Background. The treatment of patients born with cleft lip and palate has been gradually modified over the years as the surgical procedures have developed and improved. Multidisciplinary team care has evolved and provided improved care with enhanced results. Clefts in the alveolus can be reconstructed by alveolar bone grafting or by periosteoplasty. LÄS MER
2. Phagolysosomal pH measurements in alveolar macrophages
Sammanfattning : Background: Mechanical clearance of insoluble particles from the alveolar part of the lung is known to be a slow process in humans, i. e., one or several years. Particles deposited in the alveolar region are phagocytized by alveolar macrophages (AM). LÄS MER
3. A Surface Phase Model of the Alveolar Lining: Ultrastructural Analysis and in vivo Applications
Sammanfattning : In this thesis the relation between lung surfactant structure and functional properties have been studied. Experimental results show that the alveolar surface is formed by a coherent surface phase with a structure equal to tubular myelin. The properties of this phase may explain certain unresolved issues in lung physiology, e.g. LÄS MER
4. Bone tissue regeneration indento-alveolar surgery : clinical and experimental studies on biomaterials and bone graft substitutes
Sammanfattning : Pathological processes in the alveolar and facial bones can lead to bone loss that may not heal with complete regeneration. Biomaterials can be used to facilitate the healing process and/or as a bone substitute, but the mechanisms are not fully understood. LÄS MER
5. Masticatory retraining effect on masseter muscle, facial morphology and alveolar bone structure in the adult rat
Sammanfattning : The aim of this series of investigations was to study the effect of masticatory muscle retraining in adult rats with an earlier reduced masticatory muscle function on the craniofacial morphology, on the internal alveolar bone structure and on the deep masseter muscle. Material and Methods: Sixty young male rats received soft diet for a prolonged period, so that the animals developed weak masticatory muscles. LÄS MER
